If you're trans and/or experience body dysphoria, how do you feel about sexual activity (Masturbation included.) during the times when you do? I'm really curious about this.

Sex and dysphoria
Amazing and important topic in my opinion!
Well, with my Master of course am all filled with satisfaction and happiness, especially because of the emotional fulfillment, though of course when it doesn't come out so good like expected (aka when I don't reach the desired pleasure peak) then I often get all depressed and growly and sad and meh...
By myself I tend more to feel depressed, simply because of feeling lonely, that I can't rely on Him (like how it is supposed to be done when you live with your precious one), and there is only me for my pleasure... It doesn't mean of course that I am always depressed whenever I am by myself, whether after being with my Master of because of not being with Him, but it can happen quite often sometimes - so to me toys are more worth it when they are used with Him, and even then sometimes I feel like "an aid is used as if things didn't work, ridiculous" - but blissfully He is more enthusiastic and uses them on me to increase O/our P/pleasure, not only to have me enjoy them so He wouldn't have to put as much effort into it... That happens too though, but I still find it better to use toys and enjoy His Company at least, than not enjoying It at all because I take too long to catch up with Him... Meh... ~smiles laying ears blushy

I think my worsened dysphoria for solo will change once I get a packer/strap-on of some sort. When I feel like masturbating and there's nothing there to grab, I definitely feel more upset about it all.

Being wanted and loved, no matter how I look, is a huge thing for me, so I prefer sex with a partner. I don't get it a lot, though, because I have a far higher sex drive than my partner. I can still enjoy masturbation, thankfully.

Same here. I feel like getting positive reinforcement and respect for my body as it is has helped a lot to combat the negative messages I give myself. Like, instead of looking down and thinking "Eww my chest is gross and wrong" I might think "Well my partner doesn't hate it so it's not the end of the world."

when I had a casual sex partner, I'd feel awkward whenever we had sex. he was very respectful though and didn't mind me keeping my shirt and binder on for obvious reasons. I never got anything from having sex though, so I've yet to experience pleasurable sex per se. solo is a little 50/50; sometimes it worsens my dysphoria, other times it makes me feel better. I've been on T for little over a year, so it's always nice to figure out I've grown a little since last time.

Oh btw, I would like to add that I am not anything what you could call trans (neither my Master), but the discussed topic still plays a big part in my life with Him, simply because of frustrations and a billion other things - so I just thought that I should drop a comment in as someone who isn't directly invited into the discussion but is involved in some way too... Hoping that it would add to the very helpful conversation... ~lays ears blushy

Personally, I usually feel the same during/after masturbation.

Being with a partner makes me feel better IF they're not paying unwanted attention to certain features about me that make me especially dysphoric (ie breasts and hips). If they're focused on anything else it improves my mood and emotional state.

It really depends - if I'm feeling intensely dysphoric, I usually hate being touched, as it reminds me what my body is like, but if I'm calm enough to get cuddled and kissed a bit that can help sometimes. If the dysphoria is more mild, then sex can help, since I have partners who are so good about reaffirming by gender identity. I try not to push myself to have sex in those situations, though. I have done so in the past and regretted it - I would like to keep the number of times that I have awkward, tearful, "this chest binder is untouchable armor" sort of sex to a minimum.

If i'm already feeling terrible I generally won't let her touch me since it just makes it worse. However she does have a knack for making me feel better about myself and my body not sure how she manages to do it.
Different motions have different effects as well, same with what I'm wearing at the time.

I'm just dysphoric all around lately :\ I've never tried anything with a partner, but I can't imagine it going well considering I'm not out to anyone and I probably won't have the "equipment" downstairs my partner expects xD.

If I am feeling dysphoric, sex is just not going to happen. So its not an issue really because it just doesn't happen. What does bother me is that, if I am upset, but my partner isn't. If my partner is in the mood, but I am unable to assist, so to speak, I feel even more upset. It becomes an issue of being inadequate in my body as well as unable to satisfy my partner.

Almost all sexual stuff makes me hyper aware of any dysphoria I do have, so it really depends on how I'm feeling at the time. It either boosts the confidence I do have, or makes the insecurity worse
