Transgender Sexuality - Sexual Practices

Sexual Practices

This section requires expansion.

In a 1977 study, a large majority of transsexual women reported allowing a male partner to touch their penis, and minority reported receiving fellatio and performing anal sex. In a 1990 study of transsexual women attracted to men, those patients who derived erotic pleasure from their penis were more likely to be emotionally unstable, and less likely to have switched to full-time living as women, suggesting that clinicians may be dealing with different disorders that require separate explanations. Psychiatrist Robert Stoller, arguing for stricter limits on access to medical transition, asserted in 1973 that "true transsexuals" do not experience erotic pleasure in the penis.

Tobi Hill-Meyer, self-described 'Queer Trans Multiracial Sex-Positive Activist Writer and Porn Maker', is currently making a documentary called Doing it Again: In Depth about transgender people's sexualities.

Famous quotes containing the word practices:

    Such is the art of writing as Dreiser understands it and practices it—an endless piling up of minutiae, an almost ferocious tracking down of ions, electrons and molecules, an unshakable determination to tell it all. One is amazed by the mole-like diligence of the man, and no less by his exasperating disregard for the ease of his readers.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
