Think carefully. Going with your natural inclinations might not be the most enlightening experience (Since you’ve made the switch, why not go the boldest route?). If you were a straight man => woman deal, for example, would you have sex with a lesbian? Or would you give a man a tumble, just to see what it was like? Would you try both? If you were a gay man => woman, would you bang a straight man? Would you even consider a lesbian? If not, why not? Ladies, how would you approach the issue?

“What you are” and “who you’re attracted to” are two totally separate issues. If you’re attracted to men, you will be attracted to men whether you’re a man or a woman. Changing your body does not change your brain.
Yeah, so? You’re missing the point. The question is whether you would fuck/suck just for the sake of your pleasure or you would shoot for a potential learning experience to give you a perspective you wouldn’t otherwise ever get. Maybe you wouldn’t be curious enough to try, but maybe others might. Dopers?

Eve’s not missing your point. She’s answering your question.
As for me–I’m a hetero woman who feels no sexual attraction for other women. If I were to find myself suddenly in a man’s body, I might want to try sex with a woman as a learning experience, but I imagine I wouldn’t feel very aroused. I’d probably have sex with a man.
I think that if granted the ability to change genders I would want to try out all the options- I mean given what is normally a NEVER-in-a-lifetime experience, how could you not want to make the most of it? Of course, my boyfriend might not want me sleeping with women, or with other men for that matter, but then the question sort of presumes that you have leave to explore the options.
It’s sad that I’m so closed-minded, but the truth is I’d probably be too creeped out by the idea of having sex with another man, even if I was currently in a woman’s body. The one exception to this would be in the case of a “body switch”, such as if I were in my female friend’s body and she were in mine. As long as the male body I was playing with was my own, I’d be able to go for it – hell, I do that enough anyways.
I am lesbian stuck in a guy’s body for sure.
Before you get dogpiled for that (and you will, my dear, you will) may I note that if you’re a straight man, you could “experience it all” now by having sex with another man? Go to it!
I would do both. I’m not very bisexual; it’s more that I’m adventurous. I would do the nasty with extraterrestrials if given the opportunity.
Both. As long as a woman is involved (whether it’s me or my partner), then it’s game on.
These threads get weirder every day. Next, “If you could temporarily turn into a super karate turbo robot monkey racecar driver…?”
If I had any say in the matter, this temporary change would include changing my sexual orientation temporarily, too. I’d want to know what women find attractive about men and why, and what women don’t like, and what women do and don’t like men to do in bed. I’d want to know why a woman sometimes really likes bad-boy types even though she has nothing in common with him, or why she really wants a good husband and provider even though he doesn’t always actually excite her.* There’s so much I don’t really know about how men and women truly feel about each other and I wanna know the answers, dammit.
After I changed back into myself I’m sure I’d have a much better appreciation how to treat women. And I’m sure I could put that knowledge to good use.
*Yes, yes, not all women are attracted to the same kinds of men, I know.
If my wife also had the same ability, I wouldn’t mind trying the available permutations with her/him.
Since I have no desire to be with a man, I probably still wouldn’t if I were a woman, but since I have no desire to ever become a woman, I don’t think the situation will ever come up.
::And accepting the award for the run on sentence of the thread…
If I were to suddenly become a woman, I’d find both some men and some women sexually attractive, just like I do now, as a man.
On the flipside…
If I were to suddenly become a man, I probably wouldn’t have sex with a man, because, well, I don’t like anal sex now, and don’t include that particular orifice, of either mine or my partner’s, in any foreplay. I would perform oral sex, I suppose, and have it performed on me. But I can’t imagine either catching or pitching.
I would definitely try it with a woman. Not too sure about the oral though.
(I’m straight.)
(I’m a straight male)
For me, if I became a woman temporarily, the question would be… what man? Any of my current male acquaintances would be Right Out. So unless I had a girlfriend and we did the ole’ double switch, I would probably not have sex with a man simply out of lack of opportunity.
I mean, I suppose I could go to a bar, but I seriously doubt I could go through with being hit on and picked up as a woman. And what if, after switching back, I ran into that man?
On the other hand, would I go to a lesbian bar and try to hook up with someone there? Wouldn’t that be a bit dishonest of me?
Lesbian dopers: how would you feel if you later learned that your one night stand had been a straight man magically but temporarily transformed into a woman?
I don’t really see how my current gender affects my willingness to have sex with guys. It’s not my lack of a vagina that’s holding me back. I guess I’m just too wrapped up in my own pleasure to really shoot for a potential learning experience. How about you? Had any “learning experiences” lately with your own gender? Parking meters? Goats? Gotta expand those horizons, dontcha know? 
For that matter, I imagine any of the straght men that I might become involved with might be a bit upset if they latter learned about the magic genie.
Not to mention the lesbians, who would be even more confused- " let me get this straight-or whatever- he is really a MAN??? and a GAY MAN??? How does that work???"
Oh guys definitely… only guys.
I mean why the hell else would I want to be a guy except so I could have sex with other guys…
