Question about hormone replacement therapy for men. - 12/3/2010 1:00:49 AM

Let me explain. I am interested in having a more feminine body structure. I love wearing stockings/pantyhose, and dressing up in generally androgynous clothes during play, and I'd love to do it outside as well.

So, I've looked into HRT for men. (Estrogen of course) It sounds so appealing to me. Especially after looking at some before/after pictures. I would love to be do this! Only problem is, I've also heard that it has pretty nasty side effects like developing breasts, losing your sex drive, and infertility.

I hope this isn't the case, but can anyone share any experience they have? Or even any advice? I'd appreciate it.

I think you need to explain some more. You say you're interested in having a more feminine body structure but then you go on to say that developing breasts is a nasty side effect. What exactly is your idea of "feminine body structure"?

I think it would be a mistake. Guys my age- go the other way with hormones. IE- testosterone.

If you mess up your prostrate, or your thyroid- you will be on pills the rest of your life.

HRT will not change your body structure unless you start them very young. They will however mess with your emotions, give you breasts, reduce muscle mass and sex drive, and make you sterile. Not to mention the dietary concerns that go along with it too. HRT is not a toy or something to be taken lightly. It is a life long, life changing commitment that you need to be 100% absolutely certain about.

Luckily no doctor is going to give you a scrip for this for kinky sex purposes.

Hormones only do that in stories. Sorry.

I don't know of any doctor that is going to give you hormone therapy unless you are serious about having a sex change and that's only after they make you go through lots of therapy first to make sure you want to change your gender.

Well then, I've been mislead.

Forget what I asked. Thanks everyone.

That's certainly the way it used to be but it's not nearly that difficult anymore.

I recommend smoking MJ. MJ can produce gynecomastia (man-boobs) (so I've heard) and also moderate testosterone, so that the female hormones can predominate.

Actually, you are wrong. It is still that difficult. No reputable doctor will prescribe hormones unless a person has followed the World Professional Association for Transgender Health's guidelines for hormone therapy, which entail undergoing psychological counseling to ensure a person is truly desiring to alter their physical sex among other things. How do I know this? I am transsexual myself and had to go through this process to get my testosterone prescription!
