When I stopped my cypro back in May hoping to get some semblance of a libido back, there was no improvement or at least, it was subtle enough I didn't notice it. Now that I've been off estradiol and progesterone for about a month, holy fucking fuck, I am horny to a borderline annoying degree! On hrt, my wife and I were having sex maybe once every month or two, but in the last 2 weeks we've gone at it 4 or 5 times, and I've needed to masturbate most days so I can think about anything else. I wasn't anywhere near this bad before starting HRT so maybe my body is making up for lost time and it will settle in a few weeks, but fuck! I love being able to match my wife's level again, but I could do without a boner waking me up at 3 every morning, then again at 7 (it's like clockwork, within 10 minutes every damn day) and needing to get off constantly, but not having the time or desire for full on sex. My emotional headspace is also closed off like pre-hrt so that's not helping my reaction to the stress of day to day life with all this heaped on top of it. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

what happens if you just don't? "The itch" always felt like mosquito bites to be, you wanna scratch for temporary relief but it just makes the itching worse.

  • I have sat with an erection while working on something on my computer for over an hour, not making any real progress on what I'm trying to focus on. I more often than not am arousal free until I go to bed if I take care of it, so I just can't ignore it until it goes away. Fortunately, it only really takes over when I'm idle, but I spend a lot of my time idle lol
