Hi folks,

Been on PM for about seven months (increased dose gradually from 1,000 to 3,000mg daily, plus reishi and white peony).

I'm having results, which are taking ages but I'm really pleased with. Nothing too noticeable to look at but nice budding beneath the surface. I also have a very supportive girlfriend of two years or so.

Just a quickie, though. My sex drive has been at rock bottom for weeks and weeks and I've lost all interest in sex and masturbation. This morning, I masturbated for the first time in about three weeks and hardly anything came out when I came - about four drops and that was it. There's usually a teaspoonful or so.

Should I be concerned?

And will it return when I stop the PM, which I hope to do one day, though no plans for immediate future.

Well, to be blunt....

It's been stated all over that the side effect of hormones is essentially sterility. (Not guaranteed you can't let things go back, just that it can be permanent sterility.) That means no ejaculate.

PM is estrogenic. Women don't "cum" the same way, no ejaculate...

And changing your body chemistry to "female" means....

As a feminized male, you'll have little or no ejaculate. I've heard of (slang term) gurls having dry orgasms. (And come pretty close myself.) Basically, you're telling your body to stop producing sperm via Estrogen. But it means you'll change HOW you orgasm, and that'll change what your body produces. Sperm production, health of cowper's gland, prostate, and the other organs that produce semen, all depend on Testosterone.

It sounds like you expect to be able to live as a shemale, which is really a p0rn term. Mostly, those will be gay males with breast implants living in a female role (Don't quite understand that, must be a lot of mental stress there), or they are pre-op using p0rn to pay the way, and handling things as best they can. That means they'll be She-males first, then go to the less-obvious pre-op (I.E., no erection), and eventually get "the op" and transition. In theory. It's a means to an end, I'm guessing, and I might be talking from the wrong part of my anatomy. ;-)

Double-check where you want to go. While there are ways to increase ejaculate volume and quality, most of that will put you into "masculinizing" mode, which would be opposed to growing beautiful breasts, and NOT having body and facial hair, and can have the unpleasant side effects of Male Pattern baldness and prostate hyperplasy (growth) - all while specifically blocking breast growth.

Breast of luck. :-)
