Hi sdl77,
I took BO for much the same reasons you are taking it. It did not make me think of sexuality as a woman. Slowly over time it brought a calmness to me that I have never had, and I am naturally pretty content most of the time. I think I am more understanding. It did take away my ability to get and maintain an erection without help from cialis or viagra, and it continued to get more difficult. It also made my gonads shrink. But it did what I wanted it to do, it helped with a more feminine body shape which is my overall goal, but it's very slow.
At 2 years I stopped BO and switched to estradiol to see if I could get my ability to get an erection back, yet continue to fill out my feminine shape.
It's been 2 months and 3 weeks now and my erection is much easier to get but maintaining it still takes the help of cialis. I thought I would miss BO, but I don't, the mental changes I had from BO continue with estradiol. I feel that my breasts are getting more shapely and my butt is starting to get shapely so for now it's doing what it should, without the ED.
I would say as long as it's working for you keep it up.
