Carlos Delacruz, 35, hoodwinked both women for years, but was eventually shopped to the cops after they discovered what he had been doing.
The 35-year-old, who was born a woman in Madrid, admitted penetrating both women with an unknown object without their consent when he appeared at Edinburgh Sherrif Court last month.
Delacruz, from Banknock, near Falkirk, had refused to allow the women to see him naked and always performed in bed with the lights out.
Both victims, who cannot be identified due to legal reasons, were said to have suffered “extreme pain” during intercourse while both women also suffered from thrush afterwards.
He was jailed for three years and handed a five-year non-harassment order against both women. He was also put on the sex offenders register.
Defending solicitor Cameron Tait said Delacruz had developed “a male appearance” when he was aged eight before officially changing his name to Carlos when he turned 16.
The court heard Delacruz’s gender is now officially recognised as male and his gender is stated as male on his birth certificate, passport and Spanish identity card though he has not going through the full transition to male.
Mr Tait also told the court Delacruz considers the prosthetic penis he used during sex with the women "to be part of him”.
The lawyer added Delacruz is currently in a long term relationship with a woman and that she is fully aware and consenting to the use of the prosthetic penis he uses during sex.
Sheriff Stirling told Delacruz he had caused “physical and psychological harm” to both women by repeatedly sexually assaulting them with “a flesh and blood penis” over the length of their relationships.
The sheriff said the first victim was “made to feel like it was her fault” she was not falling pregnant to Delacruz and that “she now suffers flashbacks and panic attacks” due to the incidents.
Sheriff Stirling, who read the victim impact statements, said the woman “now feels dirty and used” and that she was forced to move house to get away from him.
The second victim was said to have “bled for days” after having sex with Delacruz around ten times over an eight-month period and currently suffers from “difficulty with sleeping and eating”.
Fiscal depute Kirsten Cockburn told the court Delacruz had been in a relationship with both women at separate times between May 27, 2013, and May 14 last year.
The fiscal added Delacruz and the woman would have sex around once a month despite her suffering “extreme pain” and only being allowed to touch his body “over his clothing”.
“During their relationship the woman continued to believe he had a penis”, the fiscal added.
She told the court the woman suffered from thrush following lovemaking sessions with Delacruz.
The couple split up in January 2016 and the woman informed the police in May that year Delacruz had been lying to her and did not have a penis.
Delacruz began a second relationship with another woman in August 2016, and after two months of dating they moved in together.
The second victim also “believed Delacruz had a penis” and the couple always had the lights off during sex.
The relationship failed in May 2017 due to “financial matters” the couple were having and the court was told the woman discovered Delacruz’s sordid secret the following month.
Ms Cockburn said Delacruz made no comment in a police interview and that he was medically examined while in custody where it was “found he did not have a penis”.
