If you could change genders temporarily, which gender would you have sex with?

I reserve the right politely to disagree. It’s less about wanting to have sex with a man so much as trying out this vagina I’ve miraculously acquired. Possibly it wouldn’t work, possibly I would not, when it came down to it, be able to “get into it” but I can envisage giving it a try.

Oh, and as long as we’re at it, I’ll be one hot babe, too. After all, if I’ve gone to all the trouble to polish up this oriental-looking oil lamp, I may as well get my wish’s worth out of the djinni. Mind you, I have a few wishes higher up the list than “being functionally and reversibly female for a limited time with no kick-back”.

The question simply isn’t specific enough.

When you transform from male to female, exactly how much of you transforms? If it’s just thoughts / memory / personality then you would be physiologically different in a lot of ways. Different chemicals would effect you differently, and hormones would change around.

I suspect if I changed like that, then I would become attracted to men because of the chemical change of my body, regardless of my personality, I might still be personally attracted to women, but my new hormones would induce attraction to men.

However, this does not mean I’d become and instant-whore. I would only like to test it out with my girlfriend, no matter what gender she is, as I would be personally still attracted to her, but my hormones make me also attracted to men, I would not cheat on her period with any gender, so unless she became a man, I would not sleep with any men.

If your attractions were magically set-in-stone and you stayed -exactly- the same way you are now, except in a different body, then no, I would find men attractive nor be willing to experiment with them. If I wouldn’t be willing to experiment with men now, and my attractions stayed the same, the body would make no difference.

There is no question that physiologoy effects attraction, and depending on how much you take that into account, you’ll get varying answers to this poll.

Possibly even less so.

I also respectfully reserve the right not to set my watch by yours, KellyM. For the record, I don’t find the thought of sex with a man “icky”. It does nothing for me - whenever I’ve blundered across gay porn or gay webcam exhibitionists, I’ve found it unattractive and unaesthetic - but neither does it nauseate me. So under the appropriate circumstances, all of which are impossible :), I can envisage trying out my hypothetical female anatomy with a man.
