I don’t “like” this, in the sense that it doesn’t make me feel good. Which maybe is a similar reaction to what transwoman1983 is having. However, I think it’s basically true. Certainly, I can still have sex, and I enjoy having sex. Overall I’m very thankful I was able to have srs. But this is by no means an ideal situation. Putting the rest under the cut.
