Can the people who have had a sex change reach orgasm or anything like one?

Question

Easier for a man who becomes a woman or vice versa?

Answer 1

In a word, yes. Male-to-female transsexuals still have nerve endings all throughout their new vaginas (as the penis is used to create it), so they can certainly orgasm. Sometimes they can lose some sensation in the surgery, but very rarely, and even then, usually only partially. Their vaginas won't generally lubricate the way biological women can, except in procedures I've heard of where some self-lubricating stomach muscle (I think?) is used, and even then, they will lubricate continuously, not as a sexual reaction. But still, when arousal begins (starting in the brain- it always starts in your head and works its way down), blood flow will be sent on down to the genitals, which engorge and get sensitive, respond to touch, and feel fantastic, whatever you have down there. They will not be able to female ejaculate like some biological women can, because they obviously don't have internal female 'plumbing' but for the vagina, but orgasm- a sexual release- can definitely be achieved. I know famous male to female transsexual Kate Bornstein said she can have wonderful orgasms, although the quality of orgasm did change with her sex change.

As for female to male transsexuals, it's a little harder to talk about, because they can have such different surgeries- a metoidioplasty, a phalloplasty, either with or without hysterectomies or sewing up of the vagina. For those who have metoidioplasties, they can definitely have orgasms- the new phallus is technically just the clitoris, englarged, so it acts absolutely the same. For phalloplasties, the new pahllus is not made from the clitoris, but donor tissue (usually from an arm). However, the nerves that hook in sexually from the clitoris are attached within it, so it has feeling and sensation. Of course, erections with phalloplasties aren't possible on their own (metoidoplasties can, because biological women's clitorises become erect; they're made from the same tissue as biological men's penises). Instead, they use the same 'pumping' device that impotent biological men use to achieve erections). And they can't ejaculate (no internal male 'plumbing' like vas deferens, etc.). But they can definitely feel sensation and reach sexual release.

So yes, I think both certainly can. Some might not be able to, but I'm sure they're are exceptional cases. As for who has easier, better, more intense, more frequent orgasms- well, I'm not entirely sure it's not an individual thing, just as it is for non-trans people. But you'd have to ask some!

Answer 2

MtF (Male to Female) have a complete physical transformation with the best chance of everything being functional. The current state of technology considers this the easiest complete transformation from one gender to another. It involves creating a vagina by inverting the penis (using the skin as the lining of a vagina), moving the urethra, testes removal, creating a labia, and usually breast implants. There is no uterus, nor capability to become pregnant. HRT (Hormone replacement therapy) is used to start getting female characteristics.

FtM (Female to male) is no problem above the waist, but is still in it's infancy below the waist. Phalloplasty (make male genitalia) is both difficult and rarely very functional. A scrotum is created with synthetic testes. There is no sperm production and a FtM TS cannot make a woman pregnant. It usually cost on the order of about $80,000 for good Phalloplasty.

My last boy friend was FtM. He never had the lower surgery. He reached orgasm the way most females would. Testosterone (HRT) started giving him male characteristics, he's had a double mastectomy, and will have a full hysterectomy when he can afford it. The HRT suppresses Estrogen production.

Hope this answers your questions.

Answer 3

For the MtF, orgasm is completely possible - assuming a competent surgeon. It does require a period of healing and adjustment, though (at least from what I've heard... haven't had my op yet) and the HRT has a tendency to reduce the sex drive.

For the FtM... I don't know. The last time I looked into it, the surgery (phalloplasty?) was still pretty... crude, at least in terms of results, and many FtM's were opting out of that operation.

Answer 4

Most people are just really nervous/scared/etc. when they first have sex, so women especially make take a while before they get pleasure or orgasm. You should spend some time 'getting to know yourself'. Figure out how to be comfortable with your own body and what feels good to you - then when having sex you can relax and communicate better.

Answer 5

Yes, if the operation is done properly the nerves in the genitalia are still present and the people can have satisfying sexual relations. However a man who's had a change to a woman cannot have children.
