Well, however, there is one thing that concerns me in the way of becoming more feminine.
Even though I really do want to be more feminine in body shape, style, skin texture, etc., I find myself also being reluctant to give up my male side.
In fact, I honestly cannot imagine letting myself lose my functionality as a male. (You know, the thing tangling down there?)

OK, I'm not a chemist or a doctor or anything like that, but I've been on PM a while now and I've done a lot of reading and here is what I have experienced and what I have found out from reading.

First - personal experience. Use of PM has not disabled 'down below' but it has changed patterns of arousal. I get hard less often and it takes me longer to get it up, but once up it performs normally. I now need prolonged foreplay (much as a genetic woman does) but other than that everything else is working OK. I have less 'morning glories' than previously and any urges to 'fiddle' down there are greatly reduced.

Second - reading. I have looked up the effect of oestrogen on MTF transexuals and also of castration (chemical and actual) as these are both more severe than what I am doing. The evidence seems overwhelming - the only thing the testicles do is produce sperm and testosterone. Arousal is a different mechanism and even eunnuchs can 'get it up'.

Given that you are young man, you might want to bank sperm. Becoming sterile may be more of a danger for you than impotence

How much of each ingredient am I going to put? How am I going to extract the actual nutrients from the active ingredients? More importantly, is this going to work? The only answer I have for these questions is "I don't know!"
But I would love to find out (hopefully, that it works).

I'm taking PM as a capsule 2x500mg twice a day. I also take 2 saw palmetto twice a day as well and after a few months I'm getting to the stage where a bra will soon be necessary even though I'm only around an A cup.
