Post Body

I am a 22yr old transmasc person in a long term relationship with my partner, and every time we have sex, I try SO hard not to get all performative and mask-y but I can’t help it, and it always makes me super dysphoric afterwards. It’s as if I don’t think I can pass enough as masculine (esp because i’m pretty early on HRT and pre-top surgery) so that cuts down my confidence tremendously during the deed… so out of defense and people-pleasing, I just resort to being feminine. I don’t know if this makes sense to anyone else but… if it does, I’m just asking for some advice on how to build my confidence around this kind of stuff?
