Dating a transman

first off, yeah i did do a search on this and found a couple related threads. most of them were geared towards dating a transwoman tho, which i think is different from my situation as a woman can get all the necessary parts and be the exact same as a biological woman. whereas many transguys don't get bottom surgery, and even the ones that do, it's not the same as a bio guy's

anyway, i just wanted a female (preferably straight) perspective on dating a transguy. also i'd like to know if you're someone who wouldn't date a transguy, is it simply the lack of a penis that you can't deal with? or is it because you'd start questioning your sexuality? oh gay and bi guys feel free to answer too
 
Interesting question, and one I don't think is addressed yet.

Most of the transmen I've encountered are "straight" - as in they consider themselves male and want sex/relationships with females. Of course some are gay and some are bi.

It's my understanding that the reason many transmen do not have the "bottom" surgery is that they don't want to lose sensation and that through testosterone/hormone therapy the clitoris grows large enough to penetrate a partner.

I don't think I would *not* date someone just because they were a transguy. I really don't know.

Interesting thread.
 
I'm a straight female. I couldnt really say if I would date a transguy or not, I've never thought about it. It certainly wouldnt make me question my sexuality. If he looks/acts/considers himself a guy, then I will consider him a guy as well.

I do think it might make me uncomfortable to date a transgender. Nothing personal against them, I would have no problem being friends, but I think it would really throw me off to have a partner who was male in every way except their sexual organs, unless of course I couldnt tell that they were ever female. In that case, how would I know unless they told me? (Which I would expect them to do, but if we had a good solid relationship going, I dont think I'd break it off just because I found out they were transgender)
 
I have to agree with Mariposa. While right now in my head, I wouldn't see a problem with it, I don't know that I could make an absolute yes or no decision without being in that situation. But, since I haven't and probably never will, I'd say that no, I wouldn't have a problem with it as long as they pick their socks up off of the floor. =D
 
I'd date a transguy as long as he wasn't the horrible stereotype of a flaming homosexual that some transmen become.

I've seen transmen that put the most nelly queens to shame since after they become a guy they wind up doing corny stuff like being obsessed with Broadway musicals/Madonna, slutting around and cheating on their partners while they bareback and PNP/use meth, they claim that they're masculine but they're really feminine, and they take all of the bad stereotypes of gay men and act 1,000X worse!

Think of it like a guy being like Jack from Will and Grace but on meth and 100,000X more flaming!

As far as sex goes I'd be OK with that I just wouldn't want to give head to a dildo though like I've seen some men do in Transman porn.
 
I'm a lesbian and would date a female to male .... forget labels, I DEFINITELY prefer women, but at the same time... it's about the soul and heart for me.
 
if i were to date women, id happily share a relationship with an androgynous transman; although am not as confident about having a post-op trans relationship.

...kytnism...:|
 
Yup

Hi, bisexual female... I have dated transguys in the past, and am currently dating a transguy. I've been in more relationships with bio males than with females, and to me being trans is not an issue at all.

If anyone has any questions they can email me privately.

Hi and welcome to Bluelight, smartypants. Since you only have one post so far, why not introduce yourself in the New Member Introductions forum? You will be able to communicate with other Bluelighters through private message once you have made 50 posts. I think your experience here will be a lot better if you give us an opportunity to get to know you through your posts before asking for personal contact. :)

Cheah: how is your dating life going? Any updates?
 
I don't know how many people listen to Dan Savage's podcast but he covered this in the most recent episode. He gave advice to a trans' female to male who is not 100% comfortable with his 'left over' female genitals. You can read Dan's blog here - it's updated daily.
Dan enlisted the help of Buck Angel - a female to male transexual porn star to give some personal advice on the topics discussed.

I personally don't think I would be interested in dating a transsexual female-to-male. I understand they could use a strap-on to overcome the lack of penis, but I enjoy giving fellatio too much to go without one attached to my partner's body.

Also there's the fact that I've already found my soul-mate, but this is purely hypothetical. :)

I would do it. I sure as hell would date that guy who called in with the problem, he sounds like just my type. Complication with gender is not an issue for me. :) But I couldn't stay with someone who was neurotic about their anatomy and wasn't taking steps to improve that situation. Great stuff from Buck, so cool to hear him talk about himself.
 
transguy

im a gay asian guy, i would love to date a transguy and go further and see what happens,
 
I'd date a trans-man.

Me (being a trans-girl) and a trans-man would probably be very compatible. ;)
 
i have trans friends, but i don't think i could actually date someone who was so conflicted about their body.
 
of course. this is just a compatibility issue for me. my statement wasn't meant to devalue trans people in any way. some conflicts i can work with and some are more likely to lead me to a dead end. i have too many of my own hangups to partner with someone who is dealing with so much sexual ambiguity. in my experience, when i get serious about someone who lacks confidence in bed and/or isn't comfortable in their own skin we just end up not having sex at all. i have my strengths and weaknesses just like anyone else, and personally i need someone more forward and sure of themselves (naked) for success in the bedroom. i couldn't possibly stack a lover's gender dysphoria issues on top of my own bullshit and expect to have a healthy sex life.
 
^ Thing is, not all trans-people lack confidence. A lot are very open and proud. Now that I'm on hormone replacement therapy, I'm actually pretty happy with my body (someone recently told me that I could be a model!). I'm not ashamed of being transgendered - why should I be? I respect your opinion and I'm not trying to argue. Just sayin'. :)

Me too. In fact I had a lovely time at a party a couple of years ago being courted by a transman. He even kissed me!

i'm gay but for some reason the though of a clit growing huge is giving me a pseudo-semi

whats going on folks?
