Hormones on sexuality

I've always been exclusively attracted to men, but hrt made me a lot more vanilla. I used to fantasize about rough sex, but now I'm much more sexually tame.

Still attracted to women both before and after HRT, but for guys I've gone from the rare

I'm actually attracted to muscular and assertive women which are typically considered "masculine" traits, as well as women with more stereotypically feminine traits, but for guys its purely limited to feminine, nonthreatening ones, its only the degree of attraction that has really changed. I guess I've got some wires crossed somewhere, or maybe I just feel intimidated by most guys, I dunno.

I feel you. I'm attracted to almost everyone except feminine women (with a few exceptions). But for some reason, feminine guys are the cutest to me.

>>7763717
Used to be attracted to feminine twinks, now only attracted to big muscular guys.

>>7763717
Females make me swoon.
Literally.
Before I was almost a robot. I had some physical attraction but no desire to pursue anyone. Now any woman can get slightly assertive with me and I go face down, ass up.

>How has HRT affected your sexuality?

This is sort of a meme. It is mostly psychological I assure you. Also if you expect a thing to change it is more likely to.

Once we start HRT we see it as a free pass to embrace our whole self. Ie we can be gay (technically straight) now without being ashamed of it if we were repressing it before.

For me, I was attracted to women before, and am attracted to women now/in a relationship with a woman. (The same woman I was dating pre-transition actually)

I have the odd fantasy about dudes but I don't find them sexually attractive. The fantasy usually just revolves around being frontally penetrated. (Im still preop but in line for surgery) I think I would think about girls with strapons except that my gf has been through some trama recently so we have a bit of the old lesbian bed death going on but that is entirely because of her sex drive not mine. So I sort of get pent up and then start thinking about a faceless dude in fantasies, or some of my female friends etc.

tl;dr Your sexuality stays the same as it always was but you might get to know yourself better/more freely and now admit to things you didn't before.

Ok I sort of disagree. Although someone who has always been a lesbian won't all the sudden find themselves attracted to guys, a bisexual person who leans towards one side might find themselves leaning the other way after hormones. I know myself that it was Estrogen and not transitioning because I came out long before hrt, and didn't social transition yet, and at that isolated point in time when I started taking my pills, I started noticing changes. I guess you could argue that it's a placebo, though.

Before HRT, bisexual leaning towards girls and slightly towards feminine boys and a lot towards dicks in general. Like I could really easily fap to dicks but not so easily to entire guys unless they were high quality twinks. I did develop boy crushes growing up though, also had to fight getting boners in the locker room often.

After HRT, only into people with dicks, but mainly into cis males, even pretty masculine and stronk ones. Also have a thing for feminized/feminine males and trannies though, currently dating a tranny over 2 years.

I'm a femboy on over 3 years of hormones for reference

>This is sort of a meme.

I don't know. While I do think that for most people, it is an issue of becoming more comfortable with their sexuality (for FtMs, a "lesbian to gay man" transition DOES happen, and that's at least some of it), there are also people who swear up and down that they were monosexual before and their sexual orientation outright changed on hormones. I'm not sure I'm willing to dismiss all those people as liars or self-deluded.

Changes to the limbic system have been known to change sexual orientation. We don't know for sure what makes some people gay, nor do we know that some people's sexuality isn't more mutable than others (and I would think there is variation in that), so I don't know that it's impossible for HRT to alter some people's sexuality more than others.

I'm an FtM who came out and socially transitioned in high school, but didn't start medical transition until several years after that. Pre-T, I went through a homophobic period where I tried to insist I was straight (although I'd been somewhat aware of being bisexual before), but I ultimately fell for a guy in my first year of college. I sorted it out that I was a gay-leaning bisexual, to the point where I sometimes considered just calling myself gay. I'd tried to be MORE attracted to girls than I really was (so I wasn't a "fag"), but it didn't work. Plus I thought all my kinks worked better with guys.

I figured there was no way that T was going to alter my sexuality, because I had worked it all out and had no more internalized homophobia.

W-R-O-N-G.

A few months on T, and suddenly it was bewbs, bewbs, bewbs. All my kinks are copypasta onto girls somehow, even though that never worked before. Also, new kinks. Also, I used to find futa outrageously boring and...now I'm a standard 4chan denizen, I guess. I-I don't know.

I'm ftm as well and I was basically asexual but thought I liked guys. Specifically I only liked 10/10, handsome, muscular, masculine men. After starting T I became very sexual and very attracted to girls. Thicc girls, skinny girls, tall girls, short girls, fit girls, white girls, black girls, butch girls, femme girls, all different types.

True bi ftm. I'm only two months in but being constantly horny for the first month kinda messed with me, I think. It very neatly coincided with me getting REALLLY hot and bothered by watersports (in theory/fantasy, what little RL porn I've seen kinda grosses me out) which. Is unfortunate, I suppose.

I'm still true bi; my attraction percentages haven't shifted. But I've been craving penetration and clitorial stimulation just feels insufficent as of late.

>craving penetration
Are you sure you really have dysphoria?

>>7769162
Not that guy, I'm this one >>7768585 from earlier, and since I've felt I was a guy since basically toddlerhood, my dysphoria never been in doubt. My genital dysphoria was also super bad when I was younger, but mellowed a bit through my twenties.

But yeah, I got the same thing starting T. Prior to that, I was mostly clit-only. I finally tried some internal toys in my mid-twenties (my logic being that I should at least try it before death, plus I wanted to know if I COULD do it for a guy I liked); and while there was SOME physical pleasure to it, it was also painful and weird and uncomfortable and eh. I didn't really dig it and could have happily gone without it ever again.

After getting on T, it's sorta like my body is so sexual that clitorial isn't enough...I've also tried anal stimulation since (which I never had the slightest interest in before). I dunno, it's still kinda uncomfortable and painful, but a lot of mental resistance to it goes down while horny.

>>7769162
I mean a lot of the genital dysphoria I thought I didn't have turned out to very much exist once I got involved with people not myself. I don't know if I'd actually do well with being penetrated by someone else, but what I have experienced going solo was pleasant. I also spent many years not doing medical transition and in the meantime had to learn to be relatively okay with my body. It's a pretty good body, it's just not quite mine, but fact of the matter is that I've this genitalia to deal with and objectively I feel more pleasure from that than from anal.

Also I'm into femdom so the idea of being topped by a woman doesn't really set off my social based dysphoria of not being man enough or whatever.

>a lot of mental resistance to it goes down while horny.

Thats what testosterone is like for everything.
I hated that as a guy. If I suddenly cut myself somehow while masturbating I would suppress that so I could finish cumming, then cry like a bitch afterwards because I got jizz in it and my pain tolerance has always been low.

>>7763717
never really think about actual sex anymore, ever
was too spergy to experience romantic attraction before, now I do
mostly just interested in intimacy and kink, and a lil bit of snugglefucking

I am no longer attracted to anything. I just hate people and want to be left alone. Sex is disgusting; I am a prude after years of being a pervert. I feel like life isn't about my transition and there's no reason to obsess over sex. Every now and then I touch myself, but am completely consumed by severe ED, which I had before HRT and liked it.

My main "type" has become chubby, depressed neckbeards because they are desperate and actually kind and caring.

>snugglefucking
cuddling/spooning and fucking at the same time is the best sex, patrician taste desu

Oh no. :(

t. mostly a virgin

You're practically me, otherwise.

Sorry to hear that; glad it's different for you now.

I find it a bit unnerving/disorienting after some many years with an estrogenized sexuality/libido, but I don't mind it/kinda like it. I was terribly afraid that T would turn me into some kind of monster, but it hasn't. So I'm pretty happy with it.

Semen in a cut sounds like torture, though.

>>7775882
>glad it's different for you now.
Its different in that Shit like that doesn't happen anymore (except I still get random cuts somehow). My libido skyrocketed once I was on hormones, though. Its worse than when I was on Testosterone. Im a walking sex furnace. :(

>Semen in a cut sounds like torture
Its happened like 4 times.
It hurts every fucking time.

Ftm, bi leaning gay, but testosterone made what little sexual attraction I had toward females more aggressive.

Like just looking at a woman's ass in tight pants became enough to excite me, and looking at women in public I fantasize more about fucking them.

>>7776433
How on earth did you manage to do that not once, but four times? What the fuck is wrong with your dick?

>>7763717

>It's a ''Let's show off how our preconceived believes of what being feminine is is showcased as I partake in the placebo effects of taking hormones'' hurr durr!!

I would burn you all to a crisp.

>>7776577
>preconceived believes of what being feminine
There are Ftms in this thread too. You forgot to make fun of them.

>>7776571
Im apparently prone to getting cuts at random. Ive woken up with cuts I didn't know where there. Its awful.
It just so happened that those random times I managed to have cuts I never noticed and was also masturbating.
Lifes weird like that.
Alternative answer: My penis has scythe like blade protrusions, similar to the wrist blades of a Hork-Bajir

I really like how people insist that hormones can't have an impact on orientation because they haven't experienced it
guys give me this weird feeling in my stomach I never used to get. I never used to notice and be attracted to masculinity like I am now.
I went from bi-leaning female to bi-leaning male

definitely want to marry a dude someday
