According to the authors of WTF Are Men Thinking?, 25 % of the 250,000 males surveyed needed to have intercourse six to 9 instances every week. Per week.

But what occurs to that quantity when the man in query is on a gentle stream of testosterone? A standard aspect impact of injected (or utilized) testosterone is an elevated libido, so if a cisgender male is searching for six to 9 rounds of intercourse every week, it will solely make sense {that a} transgender male’s intercourse drive could be considerably greater.

You would suppose. Yet, right here I’m, 4 and a half years of testosterone injections later and I’m asexual.

An asexual (or ace) individual is somebody who has no sexual attraction and no real interest in intercourse. A standard false impression is that asexual individuals are intercourse avoidant, which isn’t all the time the case. Some people who determine as asexual are solely attracted to at least one individual or really feel sexual attraction very not often.

As a married transgender male, I discover myself sexually drawn to my spouse. Sometimes. Now, you are most likely studying that considering that I do not discover my spouse engaging or that our relationship is one way or the other lessened as a result of we’re not having intercourse a number of instances every week. In reality, I feel my spouse is beautiful and I really feel like our relationship is definitely stronger and extra significant as a result of it isn’t centered round intercourse.

Asexual folks can have superb relationships with out the necessity for intercourse. To be transgender and asexual is not as unusual as it might appear, and it exhibits that testosterone has a special impact on every particular person. For occasion, some trans males discover that they expertise an astounding improve of their intercourse drive. However, there are some guys like myself who discover that their libido decreases they usually not have an curiosity in intercourse.

Being asexual does not make somebody much less of an excellent associate, nor does it make them much less of a person or girl.

It additionally does not imply that they by no means wish to have intercourse (although, for some, that’s the case). There are many asexual individuals who have intercourse on an rare foundation and discover pleasure within the act.

Let’s put it this manner: Say you had been in a bunch of buddies and all your buddies have a candy tooth, however you’d be simply wonderful dwelling out life with out having a style of that churro. Your buddies have tried out just a few completely different sorts of churros they usually really feel prefer it’s part of their lives that brings them happiness, however churros do not actually do something for you. Sure, you’ve got had a churro earlier than and you will not utterly rule out having a churro once more sooner or later, however it’s not one thing that tickles your fancy.

It’s not a really scientific instance, however that is sort of like what it is like dwelling as an asexual individual, particularly an ace trans man. Numerous my buddies who’re trans have discovered themselves having all kinds of intercourse, however I’m simply wonderful spending the night time enjoying video video games with my spouse.

Does it have an effect on our relationship in any respect? Not actually. Sometimes she’ll instigate intercourse and we’ll do the deed, however it’s not one thing that I actively hunt down. Do I take pleasure in intercourse when it occurs? Sure, however I actually cannot think about having intercourse with anybody else or performing out any of these loopy intercourse scenes you see in motion pictures.

Being asexual does not make you a robotic or a prude, and being an ace trans man does not make me any much less of a person. We simply discover pleasure and delight elsewhere . . . like photos of cats in bins.
