It's taken me a while to notice because it doesn't feel like it used to. It's kind of subtle compared to before and makes me want to be social in a way I've never felt. Going too long without taking care of it still makes me frustrated but I didn't realize what it was so I've been doing nothing about it and getting super horny as a result, and only feeling better when I finally get myself off. I didn't expect the feeling to change so much. I love it and it feels so much more me than testosterone horny, but damn I'm so fucking thirsty sometimes. Just felt like sharing :3

I get it too, I just love this new type of arousal so much more. You know I've never felt like "Butterflies" before hrt. This feeling is magic. The increased sensitivity...

My needs have changed too, and somehow I get it for the thirsty part, been there and exploring those feeling just slightly.

Wait, HRT brings back the butterflies? I miss them soooo much! Is that why I have crush dreams not sex dreams? I just miss the butterflies? That makes so much sense

I don't know, I've never had them before. Like maybe I'm expressing that poorly that's not what butterflies mean?

Like tingly feeling that wasn't there before. Especially when picturing something a bit more spicy or intimate without being especially sexual.. Like I feel in my chest and lower?
Like before hrt. I've never felt that.

That warm fuzzy feeling of intimacy, the happy giddy floaty feeling, the wanting to hug and cuddle, to be one in a very non sexual way. Just thinking about it makes my heart flutter, not i must consume your flesh race.

That type of feeling?

Like the very hungry caterpillar on Saturday and also 15 days later.

Ah so butterflies and the hunger. They can definitely go hand in hand, for me butterflies can lead to the hunger but doesn't always. I honestly prefer just the butterflies.
