I've been following this thread about high t and sexual preferances. I
never felt compelled to jump in until I read your post. Before starting
the MET I, too, wished my hubby was 18 again. I had to laugh about
yours trying to sneak out of the house because I swear mine turns out
the light and hides under the covers while I'm in the bathroom! I know
he's wishing I'll just leave him alone! I've stopped taking it
personally but have just accepted we have different labidos! And I have
settled down a bit since starting the MET. I also think you are
absolutely right on when you said the high T "magnifies" your desires. I
am heterosexual with high T, my sister is a lesbian with normal T levels
(she was tested for PCO at my urging). It's a very interesting subject,
one that I think needs to be explored openmindedly as you have
suggested. Here's to celebrating our differences!
