Almost 2 months ago, I found out my doctor had prescribed a dose of cyproterone somewhere between 4x and 14x what I should have been taking. 25mg (half a pill) a day is probably in the range for an on label prescription, but androgen suppression is basically all off label from what I can tell, including spironolactone. I have stopped taking any type of androgen suppression and my T levels seem to finally be getting back up to the cis female range because I’m getting horny again! 🥳
Before I switched to cypro, I had only just started experiencing the emotional difference between boy horny and girl horny after the initial libido drop off from starting HRT ended and then cypro killed any and all horn for several months. Now that it’s coming back, I haven’t been experiencing what I would describe as male arousal at all. I’ve gotten erect, but when there used to be pressure in my dick, the “desire” sensation has moved back and up to inside me and it’s new and exciting but strange. I’m just hard as a byproduct I guess? I think the part that I find weirdest is that it happens all the time, same as random boners would. Just sitting around, doing whatever, and then, BAM, randomly mildly aroused for the next 15 minutes and sitting still becomes very difficult.
Hopefully it comes back all the way to where it was in the before times, because sex once every other month was killing my wife 😅
what’s not in public consciousness is that hormones affect primarily the psyche and secondarily the body, i think. the effects of hormones on how you feel is much more immediate than things like boob growth, i think.
also many people have reported losing their libido after starting HRT and then it comes back some weeks / months later. independent on t-suppressors overdose.
Yeah, the loss of libido generally only lasts 2-3 months. I was about 8 months in by the time someone who knew what they were doing looked at my dosing and still no sex drive
congrats! oh yeah where it is changed for me too. i feel it most when my nipples get touched, which has become the horny button lol, but the feeling is like in my stomach kinda and sort of radiates out. it almost feels like a cramp sometimes but without any pain, its so weird.
thankfully it doesnt usually come with an erection for me unless theres another person involved somehow, or i do something to get one, even taking tadalafil every day. cis women get hard when they get horny too, its totally normal to retain erectile function for some people. the neat part is everyone is a bit different, so im sure other people will have different responses.
your libido might not come back to the level pre hrt, but the differences in arousal make up for it imo. a lot of women become multiorgasmic, but even if thats a challenge it seems like arousal isnt nearly as on/off, so even if youre satisfied it might be easier to retain some motivation and just keep going.
have fun exploring your new feelings :3

Holy shit that’s the exact way to describe it! It’s down in my plevis for me, but yeah that’s exactly how it feels!
It doesn’t usually come with a full erection, but it’s not difficult to get it there if I’m trying.

Found out that’s me last night! I finished, but my wife kept going, after 3 orgasms, the greedy bitch, and things started building again! I took the I’m going soft and my heartrate is already fast enough thank you excuse out of more sex. 😅
oh great im glad my description made sense lol. its been so hard to describe accurately with how new it is.
nice congrats! i can to some extent too, but really only on my own so far. once i was able to get out two without stopping, which was so awesome just knowing its possible.
I’ve been on prog since I started hrt over two years ago, sadly it never really helped my libido recover. That is until a week ago when I finally got off of my antidepressant and it hit like a fucking truck.
I don’t know how to deal with it, everyone is extremely hot and I only just noticed…
Cis female here, I can’t even finish with my antidepressant. It’s seriously no joke, I haven’t had an orgasm in years :( if you don’t think you need them, wean off asap.
I had one like that years ago and switched pretty quickly, I was mainly on my last one for a neurological condition. Hopefully I don’t need to go back on it, but I’ll take being less horny over that nightmare.
Progesterone often helps to her girl horny, too. Not sure if you’re on it but a lot of girls say it ups their libido a noticeable amount.
I am, and that was what I was hoping would happen because my libido was nonexistent, and it wasn’t until I got into the trans health clinic that I found out why
