It has made me very cautious in having any sort of relationship. I have very little self confidence at all due to the lack of development, even though I have a sex drive. I lack the social skills to ask women out and prefer to remain on my own.
I am still a virgin at 43. I had chances when younger, at University but did not see them at the time. Now I keep myself busy with other things. I have got used to the single life I think I will stay like this.
Most men with KS do have physical & emotional relationships but I have not seemed to find the right person yet.

I had hormone replacement therapy which produces most of the changes seen at puberty such as hair growth, muscle growth, libido, voice breaking. So outwardly I look "normal" if only about 5 years younger than I am.
I have no testicular growth. So the testes are the same size and shape they have been since birth. I have had very little penile growth, but it is just about inside the lower end of the normal range.
The testes will remain small & dormant unless I go onto specialised fertility treatment when they can grow only for as long as the treatment lasts, once you stop treatment the testes will shrink again.

Hopeless.
My voice broke around 23-24.
There is a type of singer called "castrato", where they castrated healthy boys to produce a distinctive voice. Thankfully that does not happen any more.
There is a jazz singer called Jimmy Scott who has KS and refuses treatment to keep his voice distinctive.

Wish I was, it would make this a lot more easier to deal with at times.
