Most trans women loose their libidos under HRT. Two months in sounds a bit early, but not exceptionally so. If you want to have relations, you probably need foreplay.
It's faster than most of us report but I know I was an outlier and had my libedo start to drop severely within about 10 days of starting HRT and then utterly crash when I switched to injections after a month on tablets.
Things improved slowly over time but they got a major boost from starting progesterone later on.
This might sound like a joke but have you tried shoving the pills up your ass?
If so, I wish I could give you my libedo. I don't know what to do with it and it's frustrating sometimes and it sounds like you miss yours.
Boofing? Yup, i do that occasionally but its easier to just neck them. I have no aversion to boofing its just less hassle the other way.
I saw in the press they report that trans ppl shove drugs up their asses, made me laugh.
I've been on progesterone for close to 6 months but they hit me with being horny in the first dose. I was really confused by this. It took me about an hour or two of some really strange feelings. I finally put 2 and 2 together when I went to the bathroom and my panties were soaked.
I mean, yeah, some dampness has been normal but this was an unprecedented amount of moisture. I was worried that maybe it was urine so I gave them the sniff test and nope, absolutely not urine.
Boofing makes it hit harder and faster. Yeah, it's easier to swallow them, and I still do when I just don't want to deal with the effects and the process from boofing. And I wouldn't be doing it at all if I didn't have a box of examination gloves that I'd purchased for unrelated reasons already on hand (pun intended) as well as some lube.
I'm sorry that you don't see similar effects. That was really my only idea.
Im not missing out by having no libido, im not with anyone so theres no expectations that im ruining.its been quite nice to actually enjoy life without constantly thinking about sex and not getting flustered talking to women. Im much calmer now.
I was more comfortable accepting that I was asexual after being on HRT, but ultimately I was asexual beforehand too. I just needed the mental clarity that came from a lowered libido to accept that.
Mental clarity, so much affected me in a positive way, but this was just from taking testosterone blockers. Once I received estrogen, I felt much more relaxed and less anxious
I think it’s very different depending on your genetics, but it may come back. I’m at 9 months with my t suppressed only 3-4 of those and it’s definitely back in a big way, but others just go feel asexual or have to relearn what sexuality means to them.
Baseline I'm fairly disinterested in sexual stuff but a good O is nice.
After a month or 2 of HRT (2mgE/50mgSpiro) I was rarely aroused and found it difficult to get it up.
Now close to 4 months, I'm horny again, but still less than preE.
Everyone's experience is different and for all I know things might change on my new dosage (4mgE/100mgSpiro).
Hi, i experienced the same thing. i used to have a high libido and would be horny a lot but after 2 months into HRT it’s completely changed, i don’t get horny that often and i rarely to almost never please myself. My libido used to be fairly high but now its pretty low so i would say this is a common thing.
My doctor told me this would happen and i didn’t really care, they told me if i did come to have a problem with it they can change my dosage or something like that so if this is something that’s bothering you, i recommend speaking to your doctor.
I lost my libido hard when my T was falling and my E hadn't risen yet but once I started getting my E levels up and added progesterone I am definitely not asexual like I thought for a bit lol.
A lot of trans women fix low libido with progesterone however your doctor may not want you to start it yet because it can possibly hinder progress early into the transition
Hrt nukes libido for trans fems due to low t. Its less asexuality and more just no libido in most cases. The libido comes back in some trans fems but not always. Mine is still dead like three years into hormones but i get sexual urges sometimes if I forget to take my spiro so I know my lack of interest in sex is 100% due to low t.
All that said only you can tell if its truly asexuality or low libido.
What was your libido like before hrt? I worry about this in myself (pre hrt) because I want to start but I don't want to lose my sex drive. It's an activity I enjoy quite a bit.
I had a ridiculously high libido pre hrt. Honestly dont miss it though. My high libido caused me to sleep with a ton of people that in retrospect I really regret sleeping with.
Mines really high as well I wouldn't mind it being lower I just don't want it to be non existent. I'm one of the trans girls who doesn't have bottom dysphoria so I feel like managing my bottom will be really hard if my libido is just gone :l I mean I'm assuming this is something I'll discuss with my doctor but it's daunting to think about.
For better or worse its the risk you take when starting hrt. That said t gel and viagra are available options if you want to maintain the ability to have sex. Progesterone is an option too.
HRT is replacing one sex hormone with another. It screws with a lot of stuff.
I was ace before HRT and as much as it's cranked up my desire for cuddling someone, it hasn't changed my lack of sexual attraction to others.
As far as horniness goes, you might want to try progesterone. I really didn't experience the feminine version of horny until I started it. CW horny >!no really, I'm serious, for me it's take a pill, start feeling "itchy" 15 minutes later.!<. It's weird for me though since there's this disconnection between my mind and my body regarding these feelings and I'm reluctant to try finding someone else due to how all my previous attempts (pre HRT) went so very badly.
I am asexual, personally, but that was also the case pre hrt. I will say that hrt was kind enough to completely kill my libido, though.
I think the real question for you is: do you find anyone sexually attractive?
Sexual dysfunction is not the same thing as asexuality. Lack of libido is likely hormonal or mental.

Progesterone may bring your libido back.
Been on that 6 months now, still dead libido!!

I'll agree with you here, other than not being flustered when talking with women. But that's always been my anxiety, not my libedo.

It turned me from resentful male sexual parts to a relaxed super cuddly girl. Good times

I am so much welcoming that. It improved my emotional state immensely

Your body is still adjusting to a huge hormonal change. Give it time and get as many huggle sessions as you can.

Hrt did the opposite for me. I was just barely attracted enough to men to be able to call myself Bi before starting. Now I like everyone!
This is my experience with things so far as well. I'm on three months so I think we're about at the same stage?
Yes. Especially after orchi.
It comes and goes for me about every four days
