Something that really surprised me is that the shaft skin can secrete the same fluids as the vaginal canal. I was super confused when it first happened to me.
See on the gender dysphoria bible (You may have to scroll down to moisture and feminine oder section)
For me it didn't happen until about 3 to 4 months but now at 8 months it doesn't really happen to me anymore, which I don't get.
Some things come and go. Especially those of a sexual nature. I've had 6 mo periods where for whatever reason, my genitals just did not function like normal at all. Then it all returns. Weird.
Indeed scent, texture, moisture, sensitivity and even coloration down there have completely changed for me. I started HRT at 37, so I had plenty of time to discover what my body was like before. And it's very different now. I would say much closer to my AFAB partner whose body I have also had much time to explore.
Read through the link you provided. Some of those changes have me a little anxious. While I really want to be more fem, there are some masc features I want to keep. I'll have to make a pro-con list. At the same time I'm still easily a year away from ever starting e. So I have time to think.
Thank you for sharing that link. It was really helpful for me.
