Hi PF,
This is interesting, and bears many similarities to my own story (so look at me now, and beware...lol bwahahaha...LOL)
I was your age when I first came here and could have repeated many of the same statements.
Be aware of a few things.
Most males in a sexless marriage will seek relief through an affair or pornography. Seeking it in some form of feminization likely indicates some form of gender identity struggle or dysphoria, though not certainly. (a therapist could be helpful in determining that)
Growing breasts is not a process that exists in a vacuum. It requires altering ones hormonal balance to more resemble that of cis female. Whether this is done through herbal self medication or through physician monitored synthetic hormones, the essential truth is the same. This is HRT..hormone replacement therapy. There are risks and benefits.
Most important of these, to me, is that you may find yourself going places mentally that you never expected to go...I certainly have, and I am fine with it, in fact I love it, more than I can say. But not everyone feels that way.
You may lose or significantly reduce all or part of your male function depending upon length of time and strength of dosage.
Herbal HRT does not work for everyone. You may not get much growth. Age is a factor. Younger is better. On the other hand I was your age when I started and have had some decent growth. Your mileage may differ.
Having said all that, as is sort of required...lol...welcome to the board. There is a ton of information here, based in research and personal logs left my many smart people over a long time. So be prepared to read a lot. But feel free to ask questions as there are many of us here that are more than willing to assist.
Glad you are here, sweetheart.
Welcome to the family.
Hugs
Sammie
