trans | Questions About Sex & Masturbation...

I'm a little nervous about asking these questions (for fear of embarrassment and/or offending someone), but I feel that I need to ask them.

I was told, way back when I first started transitioning, just shy of two years ago, that though I may not exactly like to do it, I should try to get an erection and maintain it for at least three minutes everyday inorder to keep the skin of my 'donor material' stretchy and "supple", and that I should have sex or masturbate as often as was practical (within the limits of my own psychological and emotional comfort and safety of course) in order to keep what will later become my clitoris as sensitive and "working" as possible (wow, that was a long sentence). My questions are:

Have any other MtF TS's been told something similar?

How do you deal with it on a day to day basis?

For those who have girlfriends, is it awkward having what usually constitutes m/f sexual intercourse?

What about those who have boyfriends? How do you deal with sex?

Do you masturbate, and if so how do you cope with touching "it" in such an intimate way?

I hope that these questions aren't too personal, and I'm asking only because I'm still having a hard time dealing with all things masturbatory etc. I'd like to know how others like me have handled things.

If anyone wishes to email me personally rather than reply here, you can reach me at either stephoflarimar@hotmail.co.uk or lil_blue_book@yahoo.co.uk.

With all my love and best wishes,
Steph
