They do look most like Fordyce Spots and your observation may be correct: they are more noticeable now.
It is possible that things like Fordyce can first appear (or be noticeable) around the age of 36-38 YOA, although the most common age for then to be present is before 26YOA.
What you may also have is a very slight skin reaction going on to something like a general yeast / fungal infection, rather than be sexually sourced, most common source is vaginal infections of course.
So, if you do things like gym workouts or wear shorts where you are sweaty quite often, make sure such clothing is washed regularly - you may need to think about high temperature washes, or / and using something like an antibacterial additive to your clothes washing.

late to the chat here - are you getting thicker or longer hair since your hormone boosts? i ask that because these look like trapped hair follicles just sewn into your circ line ( we get a few of them growing quite high up our shaft!) those hairs are generally much finer and so form small bumps ( like ingrown hairs)
if your hair is getting longer or more thick those bumps will grow
