Did you get a chance to read either of the articles Elise linked, and if so did you find any helpful info or anything you have questions about? Yea, I did, I’ll have to read them again though. Because currently I have figured that (I think) where my sexual shame comes from (which this part is weird...

(which is good to hear, in-and-of-itself, do you know what helped lead to this) Yea, I think so I have been talking to one of my nurses about it, and she really helped me think differently. I also get in a lot of positions that a person with a vagina would do to be penetrated. So yea, that’s helps.

Okay, hello, I’m back and I have a question. So I think I have given dysphoria a run for it’s money because I don’t get dysphoric anymore when I touch myself. But now I have maybe a bigger problem. So like, I still feel a lot of guilt and shame when I do it. And I have noticed that I only get a litt...

Yea, it does. Thank you. And I just want to say sorry for taking other’s time when they have a lot more pressing matters than this.

Yea, you’re right. Thanks for the quick response. One quick question on the slight chance, she brings it up, what should I do? You know, just in case and I don’t look like I am just scrambling.

"I'm doing this thing to feel good but it doesn't feel good so now I feel even worse and also frustrated with myself." Do you have much room in your life for moments where you can go, "hey, (insert fun/pleasurable thing here) sounds really good right now, I'm going to do that?" ...

Also just wanted to be clear and set some things straight. I also posted something (on a totally different topic board) about how my Mom caught maybe caught me masturbating. So, yea, about that… I was feeling really good about myself and overall I had a day filled with euphoria, so I decided to do t...

So, my Mom caught me masturbating in her hot tub. Well… I’m not actually sure, because when she came out, she just talked to me about a different topic, but also asked me if I was about to get out of the hot tub. I quickly covered up, but I’m still not sure. I feel really ashamed. Especially because...

Yeah, sorry, for being unspecific. I guess I felt and still feel like a creep because of multiple factors: I read this pretty hateful thread on trans-women that called us “vile, weak, disgusting, whiny, fake victim masturbators who should be ashamed of themselves,” and it has resonated with me after...

Okay. I’m back. Also sorry if I should just make a whole new post out of this. I’m not sure where to post it. Anyway, after taking a break and talking to my therapist, I just wanted to come back and say that I have masturbated twice in the past two days. And to be honest, I have had conflicting thou...

Alright, I think I could do similar to that. Thanks for the advice!

Have you considered seeking physical pleasure/activity that isn't sexual? Say, sport, or massages, or exercise? I haven’t because I am really busy with school and such. I do occasionally work out when I have the time. I am a little curious how this will help? (Sorry if that sounded mean or anything...

Hi, I’m back again. Sorry to bring another thing to the table. I haven’t seen my therapist (next session is next Tuesday) yet. However, I think I just want to say something. I suck at this (masturbating). I really am the worse at doing this. I try so hard to feel something (and I am not really sure ...

Have you considered talking to a mental health professional about it so you can work through these feelings? We would be glad to help you find someone who is trans-friendly. Well, I actually talked with my past therapist (who has now retired) about it and they had a quite similar reaction, but we r...

Also it sounds like perhaps you were forced to donate some sperm at a point in your life? Did you want to donate it and it was a necessity of that, or did someone make you? Yea, I was sort of forced to. It was a situation where if I finished and did it, I would get access to hormones. Which at the ...

Hi, hello. I recently made a post on this earlier, but I think it was poorly written by me and I wanted to give it another try and explain myself. Some background on myself, I’m a 18 year old trans-girl with (I wouldn’t say severe, but quite a bit of) Bottom Dysphoria. And I have only tired to mastu...
