In threads I have participated in, some of the other participants have written of how, as far as they were concerned, one of the greatest benefits of HRT was the loss of their "testosterone-fueled" sex drive, and have indicated that that is something I should look forward to. In one of the threads I was reading, one of the participants suggested that if getting rid of your sex drive wasn't something you were actively seeking, then you probably aren't suited for HRT; likewise in another thread, it was pretty much suggested that "real" TS looked forward to this.
My internal reaction to this has been roughly, "Huh? Why should a desire to be feminine or female be closely associated with a desire to be asexual ? The majority of women I know seem to enjoy their sexuality; if I were to have a female body, then why would I not want to continue to be sexual in that body?"
I've lived a life without much sexuality, a life lived primarily in the mind without all that much "pleasures of the flesh"; it didn't work out all that well for me. When I initially went out fully cross-dressed (wigs, forms, makeup), it was partly a rebellion against that situation: I needed to go out and be publicly perceived as a sexual being, not just as "one of those people in the background, whom you ignore until you need something from them and whom you go back to ignoring after you've received the answer". More like an intelligent machine than a person. I have no wish to go back to that kind of life.
I'm kind of accustomed to what I have. I don't feel a particular need to trade it for a significant surgery that would add complications such as urinary and yeast infections and regular mechanical intervention to ensure that it doesn't close up again. I don't rule out the possibility that some time in the future I might feel differently about the importance of having a single-gender body.
At the moment, about the largest motivation I might have to exchange parts is so that I could switch to using the female washrooms without being worried about the possibiity of someone screaming blue murder.
Until recently I would have said that I would not have any need for being able to be nude in female-only facilities, but recently I have been visiting a place where segregated nudity is socially common (for completely non-sexual purposes); I've been using the male side rather than trying to explain. I do not, however, expect to be back for several years. The situation does lead to questions about possibilities such as joining a gym with a hot tub if (when?) I eventually go 24/7, but that's a much much less immediate situation than the bathroom question.
I love my boy parts, wouldnt trade them for the world, the fact that I can get away with being both genders is a real turn on for me.
I love my male parts (and ONLY mine, mind you). But it is a turn-on to imagine on occasion that I have the opposite equipment; I'm not sure I'm an autogynephiliac or anything like that, but there are certain aspects of it that ring true with me.
While it would be interesting if we could all switch out our stuff as if they were vacuum hose attachments and internally self-inflate our chests to whatever extent we like (I wish I could do that every time I find a nice bra that is both super-cheap and not the right size ), we just ain't wired that way.
after having them for over 50 years. i have sorta become attached to them.
but now that it is in retirement?? i question why keep them around? but not wanting to become female sexed. i am a strange brew.
I am sort of in the middle. I like having a penis, but would not be upset if it was removed, as long as I can still have a good orgasm. Testicles are more of a nuisance, and I am slightly in favor of not having them. That is partly because one of them was undescended at birth, and surgery to fix it prevents it from tucking like it should.
My plumbing is fine as-is. No plans to get rid of it. The woman within me understands that she has to deal with that.

I am also more than happy with the male bits. Apart from my damn big boy hands grrrrrr
I am not fond of them, especially the testicles. I must say though during my teen years I did learn how to change gears easily. Just found finding second gear a problem. If I could give up the family jewels I would be so happy, they get in the way all the time.
Can I have it both ways??
The reason you close your eyes when you dream, when you kiss, and when you pray is because the best things in life aren't seen with your eyes, but are felt with your heart.
I am very happy with my male parts. I would not have it any other way.

I am happy the way I am, living as a man, occasionally playing woman
I like being a guy. I like dressing up though, too. I would like to keep things mostly as-is, but remove the testicles, they're a nuisance. I've read about orchiectomies and would seriously consider having this done.
I have to say, I love em. I don't even tuck anymore, I used to when I fist started cross dressing. I know I am not a woman, but I still like to explore my feminine side.
I'm a cross DRESSER, not TG or GG. I'm a big strong bloke, and I love the pleasure that my male parts still give me, which I couldn't imagine being without. The sort of CD-ing I do does not involve tucking, which I have tried a long time ago and found most uncomfortable & downright skarey.
The other male attribute I wouldn't do without either is the strength or physical power. This, of course is what we CD-ers try to mask when we 'dress', which is part of the fun of it, but other male attributes like body hair, voice, height, shoulder size and zero hips are those we wish would miraculously disappear during out 'alter ego' periods.
I look at gorgeous girly skirtsuits and note that nearly all websites invite you just to click on your size. Very few of them cater for those of us who are 14 down below and 20 up top. Perhaps that's wandering off the thread a bit...
yeah.....i've grown accustomed to it over 37 years. I like it. I call it my girl.
So I like dressing like girl. BIG DEAL!
Susie not mad about them but hey she doesnt come around too often. When she is not here I just cant manage without them and wouldnt want to.
Hi Tara,
when I was younger I was disgusted with my 'parts' and being male altogether. But it was only because I had a warped concept of what male or female was all about.
Today I'm totally content with being male, physically as well as any other way. That goes for my privates in particular. The only downside is I'd rather have less body hair and more on my head and envy some women for that that's all.
The only part I'm not happy with about being male is how society devalues you for it. I think that's what started the disgust when I was a kid. And of course like all of us wish we could be more free about how we dress.
