==Tips==

*Though certain sexual acts may be traditionally associated with a binary gender, or with [[femininity]]/[[masulinity]], this is not inherent.

*Communication before, during, and after sex is vital. For example:

** Make it clear what acts you are comfortable with, and which ones you do not want to do. Consider working on a "Yes/No/Maybe" list for yourself and your partner(s).

** Let your partner(s) know if there are certain words (for anatomical parts, terms of endearment, etc) that you are comfortable with or not.

** Let your partner(s) know if there is an area of your body you do not want touched, due to [[dysphoria]] or any other reason.

* Orgasming is good, but not required for sex to be satisfying. Depending on [[Hormone therapy|hormonal levels]], orgasm may be very difficult or impossible for someone to achieve.
