" Brain Rewiring"

#1

"Brain Rewiring" is a phrase that crops up not infrequently and I'm interested in knowing just how many feel that it has/is actually happening to them, to a greater or lesser extent?

I know for Bryony it is hugely significant, and the real reason she takes PM.
For me it simply doesn't exist, almost 2 years on PM has made no mental difference at all.

So where is everyone else on this scale?

When I go off PM, and again when I start back up, I find my mood changes quite a bit for a few days to a week. Then things seem to settle back down. After a few years of doing NBE, I would have to say that the only lasting mental change for me is that I have less urge to express my feminine side (it isn't completely gone, just greatly reduced) and less interest in things like porn, although I still very much enjoy observing nicely shaped women.
I have always been a bit skeptical of the brain rewiring thing as a general effect. See http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/ba...IMacwRlkqO for an example of someone taking that idea to the max. I often wonder if it isn't simply that changes in hormonal effects on the body either inhibit some behaviours or unleash others. I suspect that if there were lasting rewiring effects that going off NBE would cause less difference between being on and being off PM. In fact that doesn't happen for me. My wife can always tell when I have gone off it whether or not I tell her. Usually after 3-5 days of being off, she will ask me something like, "Are you stupid? When will you learn not to stop with those?". She expresses it more gently, but that is the gist of it.

I was reading my Psych book for class the other night, and the section on fetal development made me think of bryony.

Basically, during the development of the brain, a surge in testosterone causes the right hemisphere of the brain to become larger than the left. This leads to psychological difference between the sexes, such as navigation abilities. Men tend to think in terms of distance and direction, women more in terms of landmarks and right/left turns. I definitely fall in the latter there lol

Anyways, it goes on to talk about a study where it was found that gay men and womens' right hemispheres are similiar, not having grown larger due to a lack of testosterone, and straight men/lesbians have the larger right hemisphere.

There was another section on sex, and something I found interesting was that breasts/nipples will swell during sex for both men and women. If you lack swelling Pansy Mae, maybe you should play with em more ;p

On a side note, despite bryony saying the vaginal outline below the scrotum was not sensitive...It seems like if you apply some pressure there after revving up the nipples....let's just say things can happen. It's not like the skin there is sensitive, but something directly underneath seems to be. Not as sensitive as the nipples, but there's something nice there. It could be psychosemantic though

Ah well, sorry if that was TMI.

To answer your question Pansy Mae, on a scale of 1 to 10....maybe an 8 in terms of mental effects of PM. Each dose lasts for about 6 hours for me. Shortly after the 6 hours pass, I start getting bitchy, angry, and depressed. I find myself identifying with bryony in this regard.

I try not to miss any doses lmao

This sounds exactly like me as well. I'm horrible with giving good driving directions to other people.

If the brain rewiring is like a spectrum, I would say I fall in the median between Pansy-Mae's no difference and the guy in sfem's article who says propecia turned him into a woman. I think of pm as being a sort of catalyst for me, whether it's brightening my mood, influencing my observations or leading me to contemplate trying new activities or hobbies. It's irregular so it's hard to write down specifics like Sarah has.

Well, I was just quoting my textbook. It was expensive enough so I may as well use it for whatever I can.

I don't agree with how black and white it portrays things, as things are much greyer, especially among us men trying to grow breasts. I found the general themes interesting enough to pass along, that's all.

I cannot give directions either...and if I'm driving in an unfamiliar place, it's like a panic attack. But I have always been like this, even before taking any NBE herbs. Maybe my right hemisphere didn't get enough testosterone in the womb(which in females is present in androgens). It sounds awfully similiar to the Anne Vitale study Bryony likes to post.

Ah well, I just felt like typing probably ;p

I hear you. When I'm done with my classes I trade-in my textbooks to Amazon to help recoup some of the money I spent.

We really sound identical in this regard. Big Grin

When I bought my car I also got a GPS. The GPS I bought came in two colors: pink and gray. I don't know why, but the pink one was $10 cheaper than the gray one. In the interest of saving money and not caring about having a feminine colored GPS, I ordered the pink one.

That's wild. Makes you wonder how on earth the pink would be cheaper to produce.

It has to be price gouging in the form of supply and demand.

I'd have bought the pink one too. But the fact that it's cheaper means most people will fork over ten more bucks just to NOT have the pink one lmao

Either that or they were overstocked with pink GPS devices. It would be nice to get this type of discount with all electronic products. I bought a pink cover for my Kindle, but there wasn't any discount. Sad

I'm not sure if I would've bought a pink colored car though. I wouldn't want everyone to be thinking I'm a Mary Kay rep or something.

Being indifferent about having feminine colored items is a trait I had long before any possible brain rewiring. However, I think it's very plausible pm builds on or stimulates this sort of thinking though.

Thanks for the replies. I was just intrigued because I don't seem to react the same way as most folks and I wasn't sure if it was really me or just my perception.
I don't feel as though makes any difference and my wife confirms that she hasn't noticed any change one way or the other.
Having said that, and its a bit back to front, I have had the cross-dressing urge reduction. Interestingly, many years ago when I was actively dressing as often as I could with a young family to take into consideration, my wife at that time would sometimes say, "I think you need to go and be beautiful" because she had somehow detected a change in me that she recognised would only be satisfied by me exercising my feminine side.

As for the directions thing, I tend to have an inbuilt navigation system that just lets me get in and go somewhere, even if I've never been there before. I mentally break journeys down into small segments and only deal with the bit I'm in at the moment. So I'd struggle to give anyone a complete set of directions for a complete journey, even though I could probably almost do it blindfold.

Oh BTW, re the pink sat navs I suspect that some marketing genius got it wrong when they were planning production volumes, so they reduce the price to off-load them!

Maybe the differences in our personalities could account for how much or how little brain rewiring we experience? Or perhaps those who are more closeted about their gender dysphoria in real life are more likely to report having brain rewiring?
