> [@Oakminster](#): > > Bitch even looks funny at my mother and I’ll go Ragnorak on her ass. I’m not sure how that’s going to go for you. On the one hand, the asynjur are not nearly as badass as their Hellenic counterparts (I assume you’d not be so foolish as to get into a tussle with Artemis or Athena); on the other hand, Freyja gets half the warrior dead and presumably can call them down from Valhalla at need. Plus her brother Freyr once killed a frost giant while armed only with hart’s antlers–and, of course, there’s always their friend with the hammer. Best not to vex him. No, it’s best to phrase your refusal in some way that praises the goddess’s hotness but refers to neither her jewelry nor dwarves. It is VITAL not to mention dwarves. ---

The porn industry checks for STDs regularly so I wouldn’t worry about it that much. Yeah, sign me up. ---

You know, I don’t think so? Maybe it’s my upbringing. I certainly don’t have any problem with porn? But to be a star for a year? I think I’ll pass. ---

If I were a wiser man, I would have asked people to specify sex and approximate age. ---

> [@Oakminster](#): > > Nah. There’s a reason mortals have twice gifted me with a hammer to award past exploits. 😃 So does this express a willingness to mix it up with Thor, Artemis, or Athena? You may be able to outwit Thor. You may be able to distract Artemis, or gain her pity. But do not vex Athena, as the best possible outcome for a mortal is her killing you so quickly you don’t notice till Charon taps you on the shoulder and tells you to to get that quarter off your tongue. ---

I’m in. But here’s a cool follow-up: Take your new body beforehand, so you look hot in the movies, or take your new body afterward, so you have a different identity and can say “That’s clearly not me”? ---

No. I have no interest in doing porn. If I want those rocking abs, I’ll get the the old fashioned way. I have a few minor physical ailments (well, they seem major sometimes but are really minor in the grand scheme) but the tradeoff of my self respect isn’t worth it. ---

In a heartbeat. Just for the health alone I’d do it, the other stuff is a bonus. ---

Do we do the porn before we get physically transformed or afterwards? If before, then I got nothing to worry about because nobody will recognize the new me. If after then, well, y’know, free advertising. ---

Without a doubt although I would want the transition before the porn. I wouldn’t want to change much but it is easier to stay in shape then get there and I could use a larger penis. Not to mention rebuilding the joints I destroyed playing football. The only downside I see to the porn is that it would hurt any chance I had in teaching, corporate management, or politics. Unless my next boss did a background check I could probably get a job as an engineer and I could always start a business, I doubt patrons would check. (Might be a good theme for a diner) ---

I would not. It would be kind of hard to continue a legal career once you’ve done porn. Strokes Johnson Esq.? Nah, I don’t think so. ---

I’d do it, assuming I get healed and hottified before doing the porn, and I can choose the porn (no group, violence, anal, gay, or smokers. Plump dark women in tight vinyl outfits, on the other hand…) No existing acquaintances would recognize the hottified me, especially since my voice would have been repaired as well as my looks. I’d have to notify various people of the change (did I wake up changed after what I thought was a particularly intense dream? And what’s that knock at the door?) And getting all my ID changed would be interesting. What does porn pay? ---

I have an advantage in that I’m a guy. So nobody watching the video would be looking at me anyway. Seriously, Ron Jeremy did porn for like ten years before someone looked up at his face. ---

Nope. I’m attractive and healthy enough as I am, and the husband would SO not approve. ---

Could the details of the arrangement be made just as public as the porn itself? (So that relatives, friends, etc. could, if necessary, be brought to understand why I did it). If so, I’d do it even just for the instant ultra-health alone.
