Hi intjtechno, Gender feelings, trauma, and desire can certainly create a bit of a tangle sometimes, and it's not all that strange to have conflicting feelings about wanting a partner. To start with, can I ask what being hypersexual means in this instance? And are you on T as part of your transition...

Hi Lovergirl95, Part of what may be going on is that, past about the first third, the vaginal canal isn't all that sensitive. That's why a lot of people find clitoral stimulation does way more for them in terms of pleasure than inserting things into the vaginal canal does. If you're curious, you can...

You know, I wonder if introducing nonsexual touch that you enjoy into the times when you're fantasizing might be a way to bring a physical component into the mix that actually feels nice. Does that seem like something you could experiment with?

Okay! I would start by checking out this list of resources for the L.A area to see which ones might be the most accessible to you or offer services that you need: https://laccw.lacounty.gov/publications ... ing-hands/.

Have you been able to take the test yet?

Hi Mcjupiter,

Thank you for the update, and I'm so glad that you've found an identity that feels right to you!

Hi Wan, No, semen will not be able to get into the vagina. For starters, any semen that possibly made it to his mouth would likely be wiped away or washed away by things like eating, drinking, or just swallowing saliva. But more than that, even if did make it's way from the mouth to the vagina or vu...

I'm glad my response made you feel at least a little better! Since it sounds like you don't have a ton of supports, do you want to talk about reaching out to local organizations that might offer supports for survivors? That way you'd have people in addition to us who could be there for you. I'm sorr...

I get that in a big way. Do you want to use this space here to brainstorm how to ask in a way that works for you?

I think reminding him that this is about needing a step back instead of not having wanted sex at the time was a sound way to present it. I totally understand not wanting to add more stress to your parents lives, especially if it's been a rough year for your family. But it may help to remember that j...

Hi LanaChelya, This sounds like an incredibly stressful and alarming situation, and I'm so sorry you're dealing with it (though I'm glad to hear you've stayed away from the place since this incident; that's a great step in terms of protecting yourself). In terms of moving past this incident, can you...

Hi Raffles, Yep, the screening guidelines for Pap smears were changed up last year, so that may have been what she was referring to (I don't love the gendered language but the ACOG has a good overview of those new guidelines if you're every curious: https://www.acog.org/womens-health/faqs/cervical-c...

Hi Nonnie, Thank you for those details, they're really helpful! It sounds like overstimulation may be playing a role here, which makes sense given how you're describing your experiences with touch overall. When you think about non-sexual touches or physical sensations (like taking a bath, brushing y...

Hi coppersof, I'm glad you're finding this space helpful! You know, something that's really helpful when we're learning how to be sexual (however that looks for us) is learning to let go of "should." Because, barring really basic things like consent, there's not one, specific way that sex ...

Hi waterhyacinth, I would push to stay in therapy a bit longer if you can; it's not an instantaneous process, and as you've probably noticed it can take a session or two to even start digging into stuff. Too, progress in therapy often looks like small changes from the outside, so if your mom is expe...

Hi Umbreon, So, part of this may be about expectations; while masturbation can feel super intense for some people, for others it can feel pretty mild, and for most people how it feels will actually vary from instance to instance, because a lot of things can influence are experience of pleasure. When...

Hi Leastyto,

If you haven't seen it yet, this article offers a bunch of suggestions for how to safely D.I.Y sex toys from things you might have around the house or might be able to get a hold of yourself: D.I.Y. Sex Toys: Self-Love Edition

Hi bingus!!!, Part of what might be causing the confusion is that female ejaculation and squirting are actually synonyms, not different things. So what you're noticing when you orgasm may in fact be ejaculation. If you haven't seen it yet, this article does a good job breaking down what squirting is...

We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.

Hi oliver-kittycat,

I'm a little behind in my own reading list, but a resource I really like is LGBTQ Reads, because in their gender identity section they have a big list of books featuring trans guys as main characters!

Hi hazmat, It's absolutely okay to ask questions here! With what you're feeling at the top of your genitals, does the description of the mons in this article sound like what you're feeling? It sits in front of the pubic bone: Innies & Outies: The Vagina, Clitoris, Uterus and More . Likewise, do ...

You're very welcome!

Hi Dagame99, So, this sounds a little bit like part of what's going on is that you two are still learning what activities result in orgasm for her. That means that continuing to experiment and communicate is going to go a long way towards her orgasming more. Is this something that's frustrating you ...

Unfortunately, a lull of a few weeks (especially when it's not applying to the verbal abuse and their attempts to control and isolate you) doesn't mean the risk is past, and from everything you've told me I think the reality is that until you're out of that house, you'll be at risk from physical vio...

Hi Jq2022, It's okay if you're not ready or comfortable sharing your feelings and thoughts about your sexuality with her yet. It may be worth considering sharing them later on, once you've established more of a rapport with her, especially if they seem to be interacting with your mental health overa...

Hi AnonymousTeen20, I'm glad to hear the boundaries you've set with yourself about what content to follow seem to be helping with the overall anxiety. With needing an age appropriate outlet for these desires, what if you tried your hand at creating your own art or writing about these topics? That wo...
