She can't control her new, male libido. Remember?

[PacoFear]

My mental hard drive is skipping over a pop fiction sector and so I turn to ya'll as an ersatz brain trust.

There was a mainstream sci-fi/fantasy novel whose main character started out as a woman but was made male by operation of some I-can't-remember-effect/spell. The ex-heroine struggled with her new-but-entirely-conventional male libido mostly because she hadn't learned to cope by going through male puberty. That part of the story made a kind of running gag of it--"Seriously, is this what it's like to be a guy? Your testicles constantly making demands? How the fuck do you concentrate on anything for more than five minutes? Fine, fuck it, I'll go masturbate again."

Can't remember the novel. Going crackers. Please help.

No clue, I'm afraid.

Have to chuckle, though. Danica is going through something similar in the chapter of SOTM I'm almost done with. A disguise that's just a bit too perfect via Marlena's ability to make her illusions real.

It's not a true change, so she's not experiencing testosterone fueled libido ( though her own was pumped up long ago against her will by the goddess of lust ) but all the moving parts are there, she can feel them, and they're reacting to what's happening in the world around her exactly as the real thing would.

"It's no wonder this is all they think about!"

Hope none of my readers are floating around the forum to find that spoiler
