You just wrote the sexual history I have with my (non-trans) husband of 20+ years. Until I (simultaneously) went on Prozac and had a hysterectomy/oopherectomy, I had always had a significantly higher libido. Add to that my prior long-term hot, hot, hot relationship with an old boyfriend, and it made our first few years very difficult. Mike is very androgenous, and also has that same disconnect you describe in Betty. We have a very non-trad role situation - he is a "house-husband" musician/writer who has never made any money at the things he is really good at, while I am the super busy professional. We are perfectly suited to one another and daily thank our lucky stars that we found each other (much to the bafflement of some of my conservative realatives). Our relationship just keeps getting better and better even though sex is a rare event. Wow. You just wrote the sexual history I have with my (non-trans) husband of 20+ years.
