I wish you the best of luck, but I feel as it's necessary to throw some of my own experience with PM in response. I've been taking upwards of 6000mg of PM during my simulated cycle, and over 3000mg of PM per day for about a week's time just to see if it makes any difference and honestly I can't tell a difference in my full-functioning. I've re-introduced maca a few days ago which once sustained my "horny level", but I'm not sure if it will work the same again (I can engage in sexual activities whenever the situation arises without much of an issue really).
My point in the response though before it gets too diluted is that for SOME people, such as MYSELF, who consider themselves in-the-middle or content being androgenous, there isn't a level of PM (unless it's above 6k mg for myself) that will completely deteriorate all form of male functioning.
Perhaps for some this is a mental thing, but I've only recently gave thought to possibly living as a female and quite honestly my story is a lot different from the other TS stories I've read where they KNEW by some force that they were always the wrong gender. I have never once felt that same feeling or urge, but instead have always felt as though I was lacking breasts and the ability to express a mass percentage of my "other" side. Even on 6000mg of PM, the notion of actually transitioning has only skimmed the surface of my thought collective and usually gets outweighed by the fact that all my life, I instead knew that I was PARTLY the correct gender but was missing the physical portions to compliment the mainly female brain-wave/mindset/personality complex that existed and continues to exist.
If I had to use any current-day english to express what category I would fall into, bi-gender may be the closest thing other than an unknown "third-gender." I'm not female and living entirely as female wouldn't work for me, but I'm not male either or perhaps I'm both in certain ways more than others. Either way I know this line isn't clear cut for me and not because of my marriage, or my child; I've ALWAYS felt this way and after nearly a year of experimentation with FG/RC/SP/WY/Licorice and now, well over 4-5 months of solid/dedicated PM usage, guess what: I STILL feel the SAME way about who I am, although the herbals have definitely helped me attain and maintain the balance between my body and mind.
tldr = I'm on high dosages of PM, and yes my random erections have diminished, but I'm still perfectly capable of having sex. You can omit my somewhat lengthy backstory, or read the full thing if interested
EXPERIMENT TO THE STARS: (far-fetched and bullshit, but I'm curious)
I'm a gemini, and I recently told a good online friend (who is also a gemini) about my situation and what I was doing with herbs and come to find out they were also dealing with "similar" problems, and I say similar because I feel it's unjust to say my situation is the same as anybody elses or that what I am experiencing is exactly what they are doing or that I have the answers to their personal troubles.
Gemini's are astrologically said to be dual-natured, have two sides/personalities, etc. I don't throw all my belief in astrology so please don't write it off as though I trust everything about it, but I am still curious as most things I have read about my sign seem to fit my personality in very similar ways that the other signs don't.
So for fun: Do we have any more in-the-middle gemini's on these boards?
