Hi again, Barry,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall you mentioning that you are experiencing any kind of gender dysphoria. From everything you've described, you are a male-identified crossdresser. There's nothing wrong with that, but my guess is that PM and anti-androgen herbs are not for you. I would suggest using quality breast forms when presenting as female is on the agenda, or, if real breasts are that vital, looking into suction devices like the Noogleberry system. There are members here who have obtained good results that way with no impact on their sex drive.
If you are intent on using herbal HRT to grow breasts, you need to take a low dose of PM, plan to take regular breaks (I break for 7 days each month), and supplement with male performance enhancing herbs like Butea Superba and L'Arginine to maintain male function. I've found that generic Viagra (e.g., Suhagra for around $1.50 for a 100 mg tablet) will also help improve the quality and duration of your erections. Just don't expect to have regular sexual intercourse as often as you are now.
All the reasons you mentioned about not wanting to transition make perfect sense. Many of us have similar reservations about NBE, myself included. In my case, however, the benefits of taking PM outweigh the negatives. Everyone has to make a personal assessment of the tradeoffs involved. If you are not gender dysphoric, if you like having sex as a man, if having permanent breasts is going to be a problem for you, then don't go down the HRT path. It would be a big mistake.
