Karen, you related a level and speed of reaction to these stimuli that I struggle to digest. For myself, the changes I experience take much longer. I very seldom feel much happens quickly on this front, and certainly the mental changes for me seem to take days and weeks to occur, when they occur at all. I am younger (50) so perhaps that is part of it, but I would guess we have rather different genetics at play.

Anyway, I will say that my boobie greed does seem to increase when I am not on PM. But so does my sensitivity to people staring. Go figure.

On the maintenance dose, I find myself to be quite settled regarding having achieved all I want. I am not going to take higher than maintenance dose. Not only do I intellectually not want to get any bigger, but emotionally, while I am not taking PM I find my moods much more volatile and I don't trust my decision-making as much. Interestingly enough I find myself much quicker to make decisions while off PM, despite not being as sure of my choices. I'm not sure how that compares to your experience.

I'm not contributing to the auto-gynephilia and labels discussion. I got my fill of those topics months ago over on bigender.net. Lots to read there if opinions on it are of interest.

lol at only wanting to jump the pretty ones. Perhaps a variation of this discussion will lead us all to great jobs in prison reform research.
