6 Months on T Update

Just now realizing I haven't posted a real update in since July, so here's some more updates about how T has been treating me.

For reference: I'm 6-ish months on testosterone gel, 25mg/day. All my bloodwork (done during months 2 and 5 on T) were in the male range

My voice has definitely dropped since my last update on here. I've been seldom keeping track of my voice, and I started at around 180-200hz. Now, it's much closer to 150hz fairly consistently, with occasional times where my voice drops to like 135hz. Voice is weird and fluctuates quite a bit, still getting used to how to speak. Definitely cracking a bit when I sing or yell. Would love for it to drop some more, but I'm getting less dysphoric about my voice now, which is awesome!

Also, I am much warmer. Like, my friends will be cold and I will be sweating. I need less layers when I go outside in 40 F degree weather than pre-T. My friends like to joke that I'm a human furnace because of it.

Additionally, I've also had more chin hairs show up as well as facial hairs on my cheekbones, oddly enough. Been considering shaving, but I'd rather wait until things become more visible to other people around me that isn't my mom. Also, more stomach and leg hairs. Most of the hairs I started noticing around months 4-5. Unfortunately, the ass hair is starting to grow in these past few weeks. Not a fan.

Overall, I'm fairly happy with my changes so far. Really just hoping for my voice to drop more and some fat to redistribute away from my hips and tits, but ESPECIALLY my hips bc I'm concerned about hip dysphoria getting worse after I eventually get top surgery if nothing changes.

The NSFW stuff about being horny & stuff is going below this

Around month 4, all of a sudden, I was getting extremely horny. Like, had to jerk off several times a day horny. It definitely slowed down after a bit, but Jesus Christ. No dose change or anything, it just. Appeared. Definitely learned a whole lot about myself sexuality wise, that's for sure.

last night i asked my bf of 2 months if he watches porn because i was talking to a friend about it and got curious and he said that he watches it sometimes but like not even every week or anything so now i’m scared that he thinks i’m some kind of horny creep because i masturbate like almost every day. i’m scared because i don’t wanna make him uncomfortable but like i trust him enough to talk ab it because we’ve been best friends for 2 years and now we’re dating but i don’t want to make him feel weird or anything sigh what should i do to make it easier to talk about

there’s a couple of things here:

- everyone’s libido is different, and peoples own sex drives can even fluctuate depending on the time of day/month etc. so having a high/low/inconsistent sex drive is completely normal and absolutely nothing to be worried, or ashamed, about!

- you have no idea if he’s doing the exact same thing to you? playing it down so as not to seem over eager. i know men who masturbate every day, and i know women who watch porn, and i know people who are uncomfortable discussing it at all. and even then, lots of people can masturbate without watching porn. your bf saying that he watches it ‘sometimes’ is not a definitive statement of how frequently he masturbates

- you don’t actually know how he’ll react until you tell him. who’s to say he’ll even mind, or care. no one ive ever been with has negatively remarked on how regularly/irregularly i masturbate, if anything talking about it can actually be a turn on for everyone.

- and on top of all of that. you don’t have to tell him if you don’t want to. some things are just private, and everyone’s boundaries are different. if your sex life with yourself is something you want to keep to yourself, for the time being, or indefinitely, then that’s your choice. (and similarly, it’s also your bf’s choice if he’s not comfortable sharing the ins and outs of his porn watching & masturbation habits)

overall if you feel comfortable and you trust him, and you want to have this talk. then do it, there’s nothing to really lose here, and if he seems uncomfortable with the topic you can back off gently

i hope this helped, sorry if it’s long winded ❤️

Magic Mike XXL: Masculinity Worth Appreciating

I saw the first Magic Mike with my sister the summer before I left for college. I remember this day the way I remember just about everyday I’ve spent alone with my sister. I remember the day we spent visiting her favorite “spots” right before I started high school. I remember when we got into a hip NYC club because she looked like her even though I looked like me. I remember the difficult lunch we had my first visit back after coming out as trans. I spent most of my life with my sister, usually our parents were there or nearby. But once she learned to drive, the days alone, I remember all of those. This day, in June, in 2012, we were seeing Magic Mike.

There were two men in the theatre, sheepish looking boyfriends whose body language and facial expressions tried to make clear that they were just being good sports. Otherwise it was all women, ages ranging, ready to express their sexuality in public, an experience rarely allowed. My sister commented several times how weird it was to be seeing this with her little brother. I deflected with discussion about Steven Soderbergh and his varied filmography, abuzz with the comfort and confusion I’d always feel when in majority-women spaces.

The movie was fine. Soderbergh knows how to shoot and edit, Channing Tatum knows how to dance, and Matthew McConaughey knows how to chew scenery. But in making two films about the sex industry, Soderbergh failed to understand the difference between what men and women audiences are regularly given. It’s subversive to send a bunch of horny guys into The Girlfriend Experience wanting to see Sasha Grey fuck and then giving them a cold film about economics. But doing the same to a bunch of horny women wanting to see Channing and the gang is just… disappointing. 

Still there were enough abs to keep the audience relatively happy, and I left the theatre with the excited feeling that I’d gotten away with something. The same feeling I always had when I’d hang out with my sister and her friends, the same feeling I’d have any time I managed to be around groups of girls, conversations, car rides, karaoke rooms. While I never felt fully relaxed, I did feel more comfortable. It was as much about being near women as it was about being away from men.

***

We talk a lot about trans women’s relationship towards femininity. Every corny movie with a trans femme youth has her trying on makeup, heels, painting her nails. My experience was certainly filled with a lifelong admiration towards girls and women that fluctuated between envy and lust, admiration and resentment. I obsessively loved women and then turned on them when I felt dissatisfied. I convinced myself that relationships needed to be romantic, because I confused the deep desire to consume their bodies, their fashion, their entire being as a sexual impulse rather than one of imitation. I ruined so many friendships this way.

But what we talk about less is how much of my life was spent with masculinity, immersed in it, confused by it, desperate to understand how to embody it. I know some trans women have clarity from a young age that they are girls and it’s just a matter of others accepting it. But that was not my experience. My discomfort with boyhood and attraction to girlhood never seemed like something I could embrace. Instead I felt a pressure and desire to adjust those attractions, to be a boy and then a man to the best of my ability.

I’m fortunate to have a father who is sensitive and kind. I’m also fortunate to have a father who coached my baseball and soccer teams throughout most of my childhood. Sports became something that was undeniably masculine but that I also loved. I may have watched my sister’s dance classes with envy, but I also found genuine pleasure in being on the field, being physical and focused and competitive. It helped that my dad always prioritized sportsmanship, team spirit, and fun over winning. The league recognized this and rewarded him with the absolute worst players they could find. Our team of misfits may have frustrated me at times, but it also allowed me to think of sports as an exercise in empathy rather than a terrifying world of standards and punishments. I wonder now how many other boys on those teams were queer. I know at least one.

My positive experience with sports allowed me to navigate my early childhood fairly unscathed. I was bullied incessantly by other boys (and even some other girls) probably picking up on something about me. And my “crushes” (as I’d wrongly call them) on girls were intense to the point of all-consuming obsession. But my immense discomfort towards masculinity didn’t really start until middle school, until puberty.

I couldn’t figure out what masculinity even was. I knew certain expectations placed on me and felt like they were all terrible. I was supposed to objectify women. That was the most obvious. The grosser I could get when talking about the girls I “liked” the more I’d be accepted. I was also supposed to be aggressive. Physically. I was not supposed to cry. Or show any emotion. It wasn’t enough that I liked sports. I was supposed to only like sports. If someone was my friend that meant they made fun of me in front of our other friends and the proper response was to make fun of them back. Or hit them. 

Some of this is just middle school. But a lot of it carried over into high school and beyond. My new friends cared more about theatre than sports, but if you’ve ever watched two 17-year-old boys fight over who gets what part in Julius Caesar you’d realize it’s all the same. *** The summer before I came out, the greatest sequel of all time graced our movie screens: Magic Mike XXL. 

This masterpiece of masculinity is a modern-day Old Hollywood musical. Blah blah La La Land blah blah. Go watch On the Town and it becomes clear those musicals are about 1) hot guys, 2) tight pants, 3) great dancing. XXL is pure, sex-positive joy from beginning to end. It abandons the thematic and narrative overwroughtness of the original and makes a new statement: Celebrating female sexuality and non-toxic masculinity is what’s truly radical.

As a lesbian, I’ll leave discussions of the former to others (now that The Toast is gone I’m not sure where Roxane Gay’s review went, it’s really worth hunting down). But as a trans woman, who spent my whole life trying to understand masculinity, this movie was a goddamn revelation. The way the men celebrate women is lovely and sexy and new, but the way they celebrate each other is what really stood out to me.

The men in Magic Mike XXL are masculine. They embody so many of those basic, oversimplified middle school traits I listed above. And yet. It looks good on them. They’re physical, they rag on each other, they trade crude remarks about women. But they also support each other. They discuss their goals and varied interests. They talk out conflicts. Their discussion of women is crude but not objectifying. And they’re comfortable enough in their sexuality and gender to participate in a drag show. Watching XXL, I didn’t feel any closer to masculinity, but for the first time I found it something worth aspiring to. Social pressure was no longer the only thing pushing me towards it, and, as a result, it soon became clear I was never meant to achieve it.

Since coming out, I’ve had the good fortune of befriending some trans men and non-binary individuals who align with certain elements of masculinity and manhood. In these people I tend to see this same sort of Magic Mike XXL version of masculinity. I see it in my dad. I see it in a few cis male friends. I spent my life hating masculinity, but now I see its potential.

***

Last week I went to Thirst Aid Kit’s screening of Magic Mike XXL at the Alamo Drafthouse. Thirst Aid Kit is a podcast hosted by Bim Adewunmi and Nichole Perkins and is really a must-listen if you’re a person who enjoys lusting after men (and if you aren’t it’s still a good time). They provided fake money to throw at the screen and bingo cards with squares like “Mike grabs his crotch.” Cocktails were served throughout and we were encouraged to hoot, wallop, and moan as we saw fit. 

It’s been about six years since I sat in that regular movie theatre with my sister cherishing what felt like girl time. And here I was, again in a majority-women space, watching Channing Tatum grind. This time I felt comfortable, and also, finally, relaxed.

As a trans person, I’ve been forced to examine my gender, to wrestle with masculinity and femininity and ultimately decide what elements of both appeal to me and who I personally am. In a time when cis men are feeling increasingly confused about their place in the world, I wonder what might happen if they also had to ponder their identity. I wonder what might happen if they had to reconsider their own definitions of masculinity. I wonder what an all cis straight male screening of Magic Mike XXL might look like and what it might achieve.

Some need to thirst. Others need to learn. This movie does it all. <3

Their ingredients blend is formulated to improve men’s sex lives in a variety of ways. Click here to see how Viritenz can be beneficial for your specific sexual needs, desires, and goals.

Do You Know the Best Male Enhancement Supplements of 2017?

Elexia Ingredients and Side Effects

Yohimbe Tribulus Terrestris L-Arginine Horny Goat Weed St. John’s Wort Siberian Ginseng

Yohimbe: A carefully controlled substance that is derived from the bark of a specific breed of African tree. Yohimbe bark contains yohimbine, which is illegal in its pure form without a doctor’s permission.

Yohimbe is a potent stimulant, which accelerates heart beat rapidly. This has the effect of increasing circulatory rates, which can be beneficial for erectile health.

Erections divert a certain amount of blood to the penis, removing it briefly from regular circulation. If a man’s blood pressure is too low or too high they can have trouble getting the requisite quantity of blood into the corpora cavernosa for the penis to attain proper rigidity.

Yohimbe is so closely regulated because it has the potential to be one of the more dangerous supplements available on the open market. It has been connected to a variety of potential side effects, some of them serious. Yohimbe users could possibly experience:

Headache

Anorexia

Nausea

Tachycardia

Heart attack

Stroke

Death

Tribulus Terrestris: A spikey-hulled fruit that is used to improve testosterone function. Tribulus does not stimulate the production of testosterone but rather increases the sensitivity of the brain for detecting it.

Testosterone is important because it is the main hormone responsible for the male sex drive. Testosterone helps drive libido and sexual fantasies, it stimulates the erectile process, and it is important for fertility and seminal quality.

L-Arginine: An amino acid compound that is used primarily to assist with the flow of blood. As mentioned above, proper circulation is critical for erectile functionality, and L-Arginine is one of the most effective circulatory aids that’s available over the counter.

When L-Arginine is absorbed into the bloodstream it converts into nitric oxide, which has the chemical effect of causing the veins to expand. This allows for a greater quantity of blood to flow through them in less time, which in turn makes it easier to both divert blood to the erectile tissue and keep all normal biological processes running smoothly.

L-Arginine also benefits testosterone levels. It stimulates the release of human growth hormone, which is a precursor to the production of the sex hormone.

Horny Goat Weed: A plant that originated in China but has spread into global use based on its supposed aphrodisiac properties. Despite its legendary status as an arousal aid, horny goat weed is not thought of as particularly effective within the supplement industry.

Horny goat weed is similar to yohimbe in that the majority of its effectiveness is due to its stimulant qualities. It increases heart rate, which increases circulation, which increases the frequency, duration, and stiffness of men’s erections.

One of the major issues with horny goat weed are its multiple possible side effects. Horny goat weed users could potentially contract:

Nervous tremor

Irritability

Heart arrhythmia

Gastro-intestinal issues

Blood pressure fluctuation

Heart attack

Stroke

St. John’s Wort: An herb that is known as an anti-depressant. St. John’s wort has no history of use in male enhancement products.

St. John’s wort is high in the chemicals hypercin and hyperforin, which are considered mood-enhancing neurotransmitters. There are some health concerns that are related to St. John’s wort, including the following potential side effects:

Bad dreams

Fatigue

Headache

Severe reactions to sunlight

Psychosis

Siberian Ginseng:  A strain of one of the most common herbal supplements on the planet. Siberian ginseng is an adaptogen that gives energy and improves mood and mental functioning.

Ginseng is also used to improve immune function and it has chemicals in it that can help fight off bacteria and viruses. It is also used to help treat insomnia, bipolar disorder, and to relieve symptoms related to the common cold.

Ginseng is thought to have a number of sexual benefits for its users, including increased frequency and intensity of mental arousal. It also stimulates blood flow which can improve erectile quality, and its adaptogenic effects can lower the stress and anxiety that can lead to erectile dysfunction in some cases.

EDITOR’S TIP:Combine this supplement with a proven male enhancement pill such as Viritenz for better results.

Elexia Quality of Ingredients

The ingredients list for Elexia has a lot of things to like about it. Unfortunately, it also has quite a few things to dislike as well.

Tribulus terrestris, L-Arginine, and Siberian ginseng are three of the most effective male enhancement products that are available to the average consumer. All three of these products have long, proven histories of success in improving the sexual responsiveness of their users. Combined they improve testosterone production, testosterone processing, and the mental and physical arousal processes.

St. John’s wort is an odd ingredient to find in a male enhancement blend. The only condition that it has a proven history of treating is depression, and there are no indications that it can improve libido, erectile or seminal quality, or any other metric that can be used to measure a male enhancement product.

Yohimbe and horny goat weed are similar products in that they are both stimulants that have reputations as aphrodisiacs. While they have shown some utility for improving erectile responsiveness, they are also both linked to a long list of potential side effects, many of which are very serious.

The possible dangers associated with taking yohimbe and horny goat weed are not outweighed by the potential benefits, and so it would be highly irresponsible for our team to recommend any product that uses them as part of their blend.

The Price and Quality of Elexia

Elexia is sold through a number of online sellers, though it is not carried by most of the more reputable supplements retailers. In general, potential customers should expect to pay something in this range for Elexia:

1, 90-count box of Elexia tablets: $29.95-$32.57

The 90 tablets are enough to last a user 30 days if taken as directed. This price is about average for a product of this nature.

Customer Opinions of Elexia

Elexia has not received particularly positive feedback from its past users. The comments that customers have left online are often similar to these:

“This stuff worked great as a stimulant, not so great as a boner pill. I was definitely up – I was shaking, sweating, and a real jerk to people for no good reason. I didn’t get a single erection however, and will not be re-upping my order.”

“I feel so bad right now… Took Elexia two hours ago and it is not sitting well – I’m writing this review from the bathroom.”

“WHY YOU STEAL MY MONEY? THIS IS BAD! DO NOT BUY!”

Previous customers attacked Elexia for a variety of reasons, mostly focusing on its ineffectiveness, but also touching on side effects, customer service issues, and the company’s shipping and returns policies.

Conclusion – Does Elexia Work?

It is possible that Elexia could be an effective male enhancement pill for some customers. It is also possible that it could have some customers to have extremely adverse reactions that have serious or long-term health issues.

While L-Arginine, tribulus, and ginseng are amongst the best products for male enhancement, horny goat weed and yohimbe are amongst the worst. It is easy to find products on the market that use L-Arginine, tribulus, and ginseng but that do not compromise the effectiveness of their blend or the health of their customers by cutting them with irresponsible and unsafe additives.

The male enhancement pills that have the best reputation for effectiveness are Viritenz. Their blend does not contain horny goat weed, yohimbe, or other dangerous additives that could compromise its usefulness.

It is a noted erectile aid, improving overall hardness and maximum size, while also contributing to libido and sexual stamina. Follow this link to find out more about the multiple benefits that Viritenz can offer its users.
