If you could have an instant sex change for either a year, or the rest of your life, would you do it? ---

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – peeing standing up is _nothing_ compared to multiple orgasms. I’ll stay female, thank you very much. ---

Is this like the other thread, where you go from a male to a surgically altered male? If so, not on your life. ---

I voted for a male-to-female one year lease. My vote comes with a few conditions though: I don’t want to “look” like I had sex surgery. I’m talking magically looking feminine. If I’m going to magically (because that’s what it would take in real life to change me, magic) then I want to magically look like a natural female. No manly facial structure or shoulders. If I’m going to be a female, I want to be feminine damn it! Also, I want to think like a female also. It might be very insightful to know what being crazy feels like. Would also help me relate to females afterwards, as I’d have a unique look into their psychosis. That’s all for now. ---

It was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Not all women are that crazy. 😃 EDIT: Although, if someone wants to Pit me, I can’t say I’d completely discourage it, as getting Pitted would push me ever closer to being a Real Member of this place and not just some guy that wandered in and has worked his way into conversations. 😛 ---

Can I get a one-year lease with an option to buy? I mean, how do I know being female wouldn’t rock my proverbial socks off? I think it’d be interesting, at the least. ---

One year might be a bit to long for me. I’d want to try being female for a short duration like maybe a week just to satisfy curiosity. I like being a male and couldn’t imagine being stuck as a women for so long. ---

Sure, I’d try the magic-button change for a year; it seems to me like it would be a fun and informative experience. I can imagine some potential complications, though. What about my driver’s license and social security records? And what about my existing social circle? _That_ could get pretty interesting. “Hey, sup guys! Yeah, it’s me, I’m just a girl now. Don’t worry, I’m only trying it for a year. …No, you can’t squeeze them.” 😃 I’m unattached at the moment, so I wouldn’t have to worry about convincing a girlfriend to be a lesbian for a year (man, _that_ would be an interesting conversation), and in any case it would probably be better to go looking for some cute guys to complete the experience. I see few downsides! > [@Covered\_In\_Bees](#): > > Although, if someone wants to Pit me, I can’t say I’d completely discourage it, as getting Pitted would push me ever closer to being a Real Member of this place and not just some guy that wandered in and has worked his way into conversations. 😛 I’d volunteer, but I’m too afraid.

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > Magic button-real change. In that case, I’d consider it. I’d still probably say no, if only to avoid periods and awkward “Oh, by the way, I’m now a girl” discussions, but I’d be open to the idea. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > What if I told you that peeing standing up _gives_ us multiple orgasms? I could be lying…but now you’ll never know, will you? He’s lying. Now you know. Gee, that was easy. I like the 1-y lease but am worried about one thing. If I was the ONLY person who was going to make this change, and the rest of the world would still know me and get all weird about it, it might give me pause. The poll suggests wanting to try it is a common enough thing, so I guess people would get over it, but there are career and family to maintain. Does the OP feel like including “everybody else accepts the fact of the change without getting weird” to the deal? I would be willing to stipulate that “everybody else does not necessarily like my personality as it is during the lease”, because fair’s fair after all. ---
