=== Historical conceptions ===
Early conceptualizations of queer identity grouped biological sex, gender, gender roles, sexuality, sexual identity, and paraphilia under a common category of "sex". [[Richard von Krafft-Ebing]] defined ''transvestism'' and [[Sexual inversion (sexology)|''sexual inverts'']] as forms of sexual deviance, with same-sex attraction as an earlier phase of a mental condition leading to patients' identity with the opposing birth sex. Work by early 20th century sexologists such as [[Havelock Ellis]] and [[Magnus Hirschfeld]] saw the decoupling of these categories and the differentiation of [[Transsexual|transsexuality]] from [[homosexuality]].{{Sfn|Rossman|2016|pp=14–18}} 

Many sexologists assumed that gender transition would turn subjects heterosexual. [[Harry Benjamin]] described his [[Benjamin scale|Sex Orientation Scale]] in his 1966 textbook ''[[The Transsexual Phenomenon]]''. The scale was an early [[transsexualism typology]] dividing gender disorder patients into ''transvestites, non-surgical transsexuals'', and ''true transsexuals'', the latter distinguished by the patient's position on the [[Kinsey scale]]. Benjamin considered heterosexuality and attempts to simulate cisgender sexual roles essential traits of true transsexuals.{{sfn|Benjamin|1966}}{{Sfn|Rossman|2016|pp=20–24}} As a result of these conceptions, non-heterosexual trans people generally described themselves as heterosexual in order to gain access to treatment.{{Sfn|Rossman|2016|pp=20–24}}

Although there were earlier descriptions of trans people living as homosexuals of their identified gender, academic research into what was termed "transhomosexuality" began to emerge in the 1980s.{{Sfn|Rossman|2016|pp=24–26}}

In the [[DSM-II]], released in 1968, "transsexualism" was within the "[[paraphilia]]s" category, and no other information was provided.{{sfn|APA|1968}} In the [[DSM-III-R]], released in 1987, the category of "gender identity disorder" was created, and "transsexualism" was divided into "asexual", "homosexual", "heterosexual" and "unspecified" sub-types.{{sfn|APA|1987}} In the [[DSM-IV-TR]], released in 2000, "transsexualism" was renamed "gender identity disorder". Attraction specifications were to male, female, both, or neither, with specific variations dependent on birth sex.{{sfn|APA|2000}} In the [[DSM-V]], released in 2013 and currently used in the United States and Canada, "gender identity disorder" is now "gender dysphoria", and attraction specifications are either [[Androphilia and gynephilia|gynephillic or androphillic]].{{sfn|APA|2013}}

=== Demographics ===
A 2015 survey of American trans people by the [[National Center for Transgender Quality]] found that only sixteen percent of trans, non-binary, and gender-divergent people identify as straight or heterosexual. An overall 10% of respondents described themselves as [[Asexuality|asexual]], 14% as bisexual, 16% percent as gay, lesbian, or same-gender-loving, 18% percent as [[pansexual]], and 21% percent as [[queer]]. Trans women were over twice as likely to describe themselves as gay or lesbian than trans men, and non-binary people were more likely to describe themselves as pansexual or queer than other demographics.{{sfn|James et al|2018|p=59}}

Multiple studies have shown a high degree of [[sexual fluidity]] among trans people, with many trans people seeing change in sexual orientation after transition. A 2013 study found that 40% of trans men reported a shift in sexual orientation after transition, generally towards same-gender attraction.{{Sfn|Puckett|Glozier|Kimball|Giffel|2021|pp=277–278}}{{Sfn|Meier|Pardo|Labuski|Babcock|2013|p=468}}

Studies have found that a lack of popular scripts and models on sexuality that exist outside the societal gender binary as well as limits placed by partners on expressing gender fluidity inhibit the sexual well-being of non-binary and genderqueer people.{{sfn|Kennis et al.|2021|pp=443–444}} Some trans people have romantic and sexual relationships outside of their sexual orientation; e.g., a lesbian trans woman may be in a relationship with a straight cisgender woman, or a straight trans woman may be in a relationship with a gay man. Trans women are more commonly in these sort of relationships than trans men.{{Sfn|Holmberg|Arver|Dhejne|2019|p=125}}

== Sexual development ==
{{memo|1=Shift to medical review studies. "A systematic review of sexuality measurement in transgender and gender diverse populations" (Puckett et al) might be good <small> [[User:Generalissima|Generalissima]] ([[User talk:Generalissima|talk]]) (it/she) </small>  12:32, 7 August 2024 (UTC)}}

Trans and cis adolescents report their first sexual experience taking place at similar ages, with sexual touching and [[oral sex]] generally preceding vaginal or anal sex by around a year.{{Sfn|Maheux|Zhou|Thoma|Salk|2021|pp=6–7}} About 40% of sexually-active trans adolescents report having had sexual experiences with other trans or non-binary people. Studies on whether trans adolescents are more likely to have had more sexual partners than their cisgender peers have resulted in contradicting results. Although trans people generally feel discomfort towards their genitalia, rates of genital sex among trans adolescents similar to their cisgender peers.{{Sfn|Maheux|Zhou|Thoma|Salk|2021|pp=6–7}}

== Effects of transition ==
{{memo|1=Moved up a section, since many sex practices depend on HRT/surgery. <span class="nowrap"> <span style="font-family:courier">-- [[User:Tamzin|<span style="color:#E6007A">Tamzin</span>]]</span><sup>[''[[User talk:Tamzin|<span style="color:#E6007A">cetacean needed</span>]]'']</sup> (she&#124;they&#124;xe)</span>}}

Both masculinizing and feminizing [[hormone replacement therapy]] (HRT) cause changes in sexual behavior and libido in the short term; testosterone therapy generally increases [[sex drive]], while estrogen therapy generally reduces it. However, levels return to the baseline after three years, with a slight increase from pre-transition levels for feminizing HRT. Gender affirming surgeries, such as [[vaginoplasty]], [[phalloplasty]], [[orchiectomy]], and [[mastectomy]], result in increased libido, even when such surgeries result in a reduced sex drive in cisgender people; this may be due to trans people achieving a more positive body image after the procedures.{{Sfn|Defreyne et al|2020|pp=9–11}} 

Trans people frequently have poor body image before transition, with [[gender dysphoria]] leaving them uncomfortable with their bodies, often hesitant to touch or let others' touch their bodies. This effect is worsened when people accept their transness and begin to seek gender-affirming care, as it becomes more difficult to deny or ignore body dysphoria. Coping strategies, such as imagining having a different body or playing a gendered role, are often used to overcome gender dysphoria in pre-transition sex. Additionally, many pre-transition people avoid sexual activity involving their genitals in favor of a focus on pleasing the other partner. Although around 90% of trans people have had sexual experiences before seeking treatment, only 15% of trans men and 12% of trans women reported that they found pleasure from activity involving their genitals during sex.{{Sfn|Holmberg|Arver|Dhejne|2019|p=125}}

== Terminology ==
{{See also|Terminology of transgender anatomy}}
[[File:Ragosta_et_al._replacement_word_cloud.svg|thumb|alt=A word cloud of various terms used by transmasculine people for their vaginas, with the largest ("front-hole") in the center|A [[word cloud]] of how transmasculine people in a 2021 study described their vaginas]]

The manner in which transgender people refer to their bodies is an important facet of their sexuality. Many refer to body parts with words for comparable cross-sex body parts based on {{wikt-lang|en|adequation}} (the finding of "sufficient similarity") with those body parts, for instance ''vagina'' for a transfeminine anus or ''dick'' for a transmasculine clitoris.<ref>{{harvnb|Hill-Meyer|Scarborough|2014|pp=355–356}}.{{harvnb|Zimman|2014|p=16}}. {{harvnb|Fielding|2021|p=96}}.</ref> These replacement words can serve as a micro-affirmation of a partner's identity during sex, as this can be an environment of heightened [[gender dysphoria]].{{Sfn|Pulice-Farrow|Bravo|Galupo|2019|pp=53, 58}}

In addition to replacing words, trans people often conceive of body parts in ways that are detached from gender connotations. For instance, in contrast to a [[cisnormative]] definition of ''vagina'' as belonging to a woman, a transmasculine person might use the term to refer simply to that structure without gendered connotations, either on its own or in constructions such as {{wikt-lang|en|boy cunt}}.{{sfn|Zimman|2014|p=17}} Both approaches may occur at once: Elijah Adiv Edelman and [[Lal Zimman]] quote, among other examples, a Craigslist posting from a trans man reading "[I]f you're wondering what this transman has to offer&nbsp;...&nbsp; You get to play with a trannie cock&nbsp;...&nbsp; Testosterone tightened up my cunt a little, which provides a cozy ride".{{sfn|Edelman|Zimman|2014|p=682}}

The wellness guide ''[[Trans Bodies, Trans Selves]]'' acknowledges a multitude of practices and advises, "Find language that makes you feel good, use it, share it with [sex] partners, and have fun."{{sfn|Hill-Meyer|Scarborough|2014|p=356}}

== Sexual practices ==

=== History ===
Early sexual norms in the transgender community were shaped by a desire to conform to cisgender norms, for fear of being gatekept from healthcare.{{sfn|Hill-Meyer|Lore|Lee|Scarborough|2022|p=441}}

There was little to no coverage of sex practices among trans people from their own perspective until [[Mira Bellwether]]'s self-published 2010 zine ''[[Fucking Trans Women]]'',<ref>Variously:
* {{harvnb|Pfeffer|2014|p=597}}. "''Fucking Trans Women (Issue #0)'' broke ground by centering trans women's perspectives and experiences around sex and sexuality—including instructional guides on actual sexual practices."
* {{harvnb|Zaber|2015}}. "Originally published as a zine ''FTW'' was the first book (or at least the first I can find that gained wide recognition) to address the sex lives of trans women."
* {{harvnb|Burns|2017}}. "''Fucking Trans Women'' [is] widely considered to be the first and most in-depth guide to having sex with pre- and non-op trans femme bodies."
* {{harvnb|Thom|2023}}. "When Bellwether first published [''Fucking Trans Women''], there were virtually no sources of sex education devoted to trans women's unique needs and experiences."</ref> described in ''[[Sexuality & Culture]]'' as "a comprehensive guide to trans women's sexuality".{{sfn|Rosenberg|Tilley|Morgan|2019|p=965}} It focuses in particular on sex acts possible with flaccid penises<ref>{{harvnb|Rosenberg|Tilley|Morgan|2019|p=965}}. {{harvnb|Fielding|2021|p=77}}</ref> and on the [[innervation]] of [[pre-op and non-op]] trans women's genital areas.<ref>{{harvnb|Valens|2019}}}. {{harvnb|Fielding|2021|p=94}}.</ref> It both named and popularized the act of ''muffing'', or stimulating the [[inguinal canals]] through an [[invaginated]] scrotum,{{sfn|Fielding|2021|p=93}} which can offer those with genital dysphoria a way to be penetrated from the front.{{sfn|Hill-Meyer|2022}}

Cultural studies scholar J.R. Latham wrote the first definitive analysis of trans men's sexual practices in the journal ''[[Sexualities (journal)|Sexualities]]''.{{sfn|Latham|2016}}

Few documentaries have been produced exploring transgender people's sexual practices. Since 2013, creator Tobi Hill-Meyer has been working on a series of projects related to transgender peoples sexualities titled ''Doing it Again''.<ref name="Handbasket Productions">{{Cite web |date=2019-05-03 |title=Toby Hill-Meyer Filmography |url=https://tobihillmeyer.com/film-screenings/ |website=handbasketproductions.com}}</ref>

Research in areas of sexual behavior and experience is ongoing. One study from 2020 conducted in Spain analyzed the sexual health and behaviors of 260 participants.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Gil-Llario |first=MD |last2=Gil-Juliá |first2=B |last3=Giménez-García |first3=C |last4=Bergero-Miguel |first4=T |last5=Ballester-Arnal |first5=R |date=2020-11-08 |title=Sexual behavior and sexual health of transgender women and men before treatment: Similarities and differences |journal=International Journal of Transgender Health |volume=22 |issue=3 |pages=304–315 |doi=10.1080/26895269.2020.1838386 |pmc=8118227 |pmid=34240073}}</ref>

=== Masturbation ===
About 72–78% of trans women and 59–89% of trans men masturbate.{{Sfn|Holmberg|Arver|Dhejne|2019|p=125}}

=== Partnered sex ===

=== Polyamory ===

== Sex work and pornography ==
{{main|Transgender sex workers|Transgender pornography}}

Mainstream [[transgender pornography]] rarely if ever features trans men and nonbinary people, instead focusing almost exclusively on transgender women, who are depicted, in the words of Tobi Hill-Meyer et al., "either as sexually voracious, dominant, penetrative partners waiting to violate unsuspecting cis people, or as demure, receptive [[sex kitten]]s available solely for the pleasure of cisgender men".{{sfn|Hill-Meyer|Lore|Lee|Scarborough|2022|p=438}} However, a number of more affirming pornographers, many of them transgender themselves, exist, such as [[Bailey Jay]], [[Venus Lux]], and the studio [[Kink.com]].<!-- Not a place to list random trans pornographers. These come directly from the source. --><ref>{{harvnb|Hill-Meyer|Lore|Lee|Scarborough|2022|pp=444–445}}, citing discussions with transgender adult entertainers.</ref>

== Fertility and pregnancy ==
{{main|Transgender pregnancy}}

A number of factors influence the fertility of transgender people, including the effects of gender-affirming medical care. [[Assisted reproductive technology]] is commonly used by transgender people to achieve reproduction.{{sfn|Mattawanon et al.|2021|pp=362-363}}

== Sexual abuse and violence ==
Transgender people are more likely than cis people to have experienced sexual abuse during their childhoods. Although studies initially attributed this abuse as a cause of gender dysphoria, modern studies have generally reversed this causation, stating that transness renders children more at risk of sexual abuse.{{Sfn|Holmberg|Arver|Dhejne|2019|p=125}}
