Ginny Seaboy and Julia James made history in 2010 when they became the world's first legally married transgender couple.

They have now smashed another taboo by lifting the lid on their sex life and revealing they can enjoy 198 orgasms in just 90 minutes.

Gina and Julia have opened up about their ' multi-orgasmic sex life, which they achieve simply by 'thinking'.

The couple met in 2009 on an online forum for trans women.

Gina, 58, described them as "completely compatible".

And she says she went from having "zero sex drive" to enjoying intimacy beyond her wildest dreams.

Julia, of Nova Scotia, Canada, who, like Ginny has not had genital surgery, said: “I can orgasm standing up, not touching myself and even in seven seconds just by thinking about it.

“I orgasm like a female mostly now - which means I have rolling orgasms until I get tired, rather than constant ejaculation - and can do it up to 198 times in 90 minutes, although I am a non-op trans.

“Ginny is multi-orgasmic like me and we have been very, very lucky sexually.”

Meanwhile, Ginny, who was an Atlantic superstore manager when they met, describes Julia as her "soulmate".

She said: “I told her we should take it slow but I could feel myself falling head over heels – I wasn’t very good at taking my own advice!

“Now, years later, I’m still with my soulmate.

“When I found her my sex life improved dramatically, too – I didn’t even have a sex drive before.

"But I've never felt the need to have surgery on my genitals to be a trans woman.

"We are still both multi-orgasmic and our life in the bedroom is better than we ever expected.”

Despite wanting to move slowly, Julia proposed to Ginny in November 2009 by suggesting they both pose for a photo in wedding dresses as a joke.

But then she dropped to one knee to pop the question just as the picture was about to be taken.

They married in an intimate ceremony Ginny's parents home in Bedford, Canada, on October 7 2010, with just a few relatives as guests.

It was exactly a year after their first lunch date at a park near Ginny's work.

In July 2005, Canada was the first country outside Europe and the fourth country in the world to pass a law allowing same-sex marriage.

Ginny, who lived as a man from 1985 to 2004, travelling the world as a bass player in over 30 country, blues, jazz, and rock bands, said: “It feels great to know we hold that title of first married trans couple.

“It’s liberating and makes me realise we should never have to hide. We are very proud and fulfilled – I feel like it gives my life more purpose than I ever realised it had.”

Ginny is now her wife's full-time carer, as Julia receives disability allowance because of an illness she would rather not disclose.

Growing up, Ginny wanted to be just like her mum Ruth, 79, rather than like her dad, Ted, 82.

Despite saying she realised she was transgender from the age of two, it was not until 1978, when she was 17, that she decided to start publicly identifying as a woman.

Sadly, her openness did not last as she realised it was alienating her from her musician peer group because they didn't accept her lifestyle after knowing her as a man.

And, in 1981, she decided to revert back to identifying as a man for the sake of her work.

After that, Ginny spent years trying desperately to be someone she was not, even marrying a woman in 1985 and staying with her for 10 years, although they did not have children.

She said: “Because I didn’t stick to identifying as a woman, I reckon people thought it was just a phase that I got over.

“But it was a lot deeper than that. I hated being that person and I didn’t want to play the role of a man, sexually.

“My marriage was fine. I had great respect for my wife, but we weren’t soul mates.

"We were just companions, and when we split up she understood who I really was.”

Similarly, Julia knew from the age of three that she was transgender and dreamed of looking like a little girl.

She also tried hard to accept herself as male - even joining the military and acting as an aggressive, masculine fighter in front of other men, but it did not work.

Julia, who left the army in 1989 and worked in business, explained: “I had a recurring dream that I was standing in an empty city, wearing a dress and finally being a girl.

“I felt glorious – I was finally me!

“When I eventually did transition in 2007 I still felt like there was something missing, but when I found Ginny I was finally complete.”

While Ginny has always had naturally high oestrogen levels and developed breasts naturally, when Julia transitioned, having first bought female hormones being sold illegally online she then asked her doctor to prescribe them.

Neither has felt the need to have genital surgery but they love being openly trans and hope telling their story will encourage more people like them to come out of the shadows.

Ginny said: “When we look back at our lives before we came out and started being openly trans, it feels like we’re looking at completely different people.

“Now most of our friends and families accept us and are proud that we've had the courage to face who we really are.

"There is no right or wrong way to be transgender. Like everyone else, we're all different.

"But, like Ginny and me, I want anyone who thinks they're trans to come out and enjoy being who they really are."
