Rachpink Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 so I am mtf. After starting hrt (4.5m) I don't want to have sex,I don't want somebody touching me at all. I am fine with masturbating tho it feel really weird after it tho. My liabo has really dropped a lot and even my desire to masturbate is not even really there. (Same with pre hrt it all felt weird but I still did it) Now I am wondering could this all be due to my genital dysphonia or what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mardakaisson Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Only you have the right to call yourslf asexual, but here are a couple of things to think about: 1) libido is vastly different from sexual attraction. A tumblr post, one I can link to, very consisely described the difference. Libido=body says NOW. Sexual Attraction=Body says THIS ONE. Your drop in libido could be due to HRT, but, that has nothing to do with asexuality. 2) You mentioned that before HRT, masturbation was weird. I am no expert on this whatsoever, but that could be a sign that you are sex averse, meaning that you are uncomfortable with the idea and the physical act of sex/foreplay even. Again, this is not related to sexuality. You can be sex averse and hetero, homosexual, bi, pan, grey-A, all possible. On the flip side, you can also be an a sex-positive asexual, or an asexual with a high libido. Only you are capable of determining your sexual identity, but hopefully I've given some useful advice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thranduil Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I agree with Mardakaisson. It's all up to you and how you feel about it, in the end. It might take a while, but you'll figure it out eventually. I wouldn't stress over it, especially since you are undergoing HRT your body is changing, so you're going to feel differently, sometimes. It really just depends on your experience with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
