Hi Everyone! I'm planning on adding stuff here but first enjoy your new weekly mega <3

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

genital stuff, sex stuff
So I have virtually zero sex drive. It's never really bothered me, but part of me has always wondered if it was a low testosterone thing, and that wonder has increased drastically since I apparently had a history of that when I was way younger and my mom didn't tell me 'til very recently.
So all of that to say, I'm kind of wondering if I will gain a sex drive as my hormone levels approach what they should be. I'm also told that if I don't use my penis while on HRT it'll hurt a lot if I try to again. That's something I want to avoid, but I have quite literally never masturbated or anything out of a lack of interest. So I'm at this weird spot of maybe being horny and wanting to do sex stuff later but not really having any good way to keep my member from the edge of death.
I'm not sure how much sense I'm making. I don't really have a specific question outside of "is this a legit worry", but I'm looking for thoughts from the infinitely wise trans council
sexxx
do you own a vibrator? if not and you're feeling up to it i would recommend it. my fav is the magic wand
i think the rule for penile atrophy is to ensure you have an erection 3 times a week. i know this is important for some forms of bottom surgery and penetrative sex. personally, cypro tanked my sex drive so i gave up on maintaining that frequency but when i do do anything it's exclusively using a vibrator. since there's less friction and more control, i've had no issues with pain and it feels a lot more affirming (i was quite sexually active prior to hrt though)
good luck with the self-discovery!

As someone else with a low sex-drive and doesn’t masturbate a lot I will say for the longest while whenever I would try it would start hurting and be uncomfortable if it got too hard and I would have to wait a bit before continuing.
Recently it’s been better, but I guess that is a thing that can happen, I didn’t know it was hrt related.

Oh so it's something you can ease back into by taking breaks and stuff? That's comforting. I didn't want it to be like a permanent thing.
I'm not sure if its HRT related I'd just heard that around and wasn't sure if it was a thing, which is part of why I brought it up here haha
