Sexuality is a core component of many adults’ (and teens’)
lives. Whether we choose abstinence/celibacy or being sexual only
with ourselves, or seek relationships with others (committed long
term relationships, anonymous interactions, flirtations, long or
short term "tricks"/"fuck-buddies", monogamous
or polyamorous relationships), FTM+s/SOFFAs may approach sexuality
differently than those who have no trans-involvement.
Issues we hope to cover in this issue include:
- exploring our bodies - self love and sexuality
- crusing and flirting
- trans+ erotica
- evolving and/or shifting sexual orientation(s)
- changes in libido and/or sexual interest(s)
- culture clashes of mixed orientation "expectations"
(what people expect based on previous orientation experiences)
- SM as a tool for expanding and exploring gender/roles
- BDSM as a component of or full sexual identity
- learning about non-trans male bodies
- tools and tips for greater sexual satisfaction
- negotiation with partner(s) - discussion of comfortable erogenous
zones and mutual pleasure
- sex clubs, segregated bars/organizations, and navigating only
spaces
- safer sex techniques and negotiation
