Uh, I think I’ll stay as I am, without the bleeding and cramping and makeup and uncomfortable undergarments and high heels and all.
Unless you immediately leave your dirty clothes on the floor, piss all over the toilet seat, fart and laugh uncontrollably about it, and get wood at the sight of Betty Rubble, in which case - you’re done.
I’d want to try it out for a year if the “awkward conversations” part is solved somehow, definitely.
I’ve often envied the aesthetics that guys have – being able to wear certain trends and do it well makes me so envious. Mind you, I’d want to make sure that I wouldn’t be the same size as a guy – I’m already pretty shrimpy as it is.
If I was younger I might have gone for it, but at this age I’d probably convert into instant menopause. No thanks. At least not without the multiple Os to build up to it.

I voted Female-to-Male One Year Lease. Just two caveats (well, besides the fact that it has to be a magical transformation w/o surgery or any real life complications):

[li]I would have to go back in time to pick a year when I was younger, single, and freer to move around the country. I would move to a new city for that year, where no one knew that I was female previously, and just see what life was like as a man.[/li][li]I would like to go from lesbian to straight male. I want to know what it’s like to have sex with a real penis rather than a strapped on piece of rubber.[/li][/ol]
Hell, I can do anything for a year. I think it would be fun and educational.
I’m a 49 year old straight male who has been with the same woman for 28 years. So I’d be post-menopausal, and not have to worry about periods. If I changed, and my wife didn’t - she’s have to be ready to eat some pussy. I really want to find out what she’s been screaming into a pillow over her face about all these years. If the same magical entity changed us both, I’d be cool with it, I think.
Penetration would be a whole new experience, but if I has a female sex drive to accompany the vagina, I wouldn’t have any problem accepting my wife’s dick into my body.
Here’s a song about the topic. If I only could, I’d make a deal with God, and get him to swap our places…
I would love to do this (become a man) for a year. And I think a year is about right, because certainly it would take at least that long to learn the ropes. I remember reading She’s Not There, and the author’s discussion on feeling his brain become more female as he began the hormones for his transistion. I would be utterly fascinating to experience my mind on testosterone.
I also think it would be cool to really understand the male experience, to have a greater awareness of all the little stessors and joys that all men organically understand. If this could increase my understanding and empathy for what men deal with on a day to day basis, how they feel, how they think, I would do it in a heartbeat.
This is definitely something that always sounds interesting, but it’s one of those topics you have to load up with caveats and negotiation. I think I’d give it a shot… after my lawyer has examined all the paperwork and ensured that all my concerns have been addressed properly.
My feeling is, better the devil you know than the devil you don’t. I’m used to all maintenance problems and special handling of the female body. Yes, periods are bad, yes, lingerie is uncomfortable, but I’m really glad I don’t have external genitals thankyouverymuch.
Oddly, I’m just the opposite. I’ve alwasy envied women their greater choice in clothing-men get dark suits and that’s generally it. I’d try it for a yearloess if that was an option. I’d want some kind of physical changes besides the obvious though, because I’d be a big ugly woman.
Assuming I get to explain the whole thing to my family (as opposed to my kids just experiencing the unexplained disappearance of their father), yeah, I’d try it for a year.
Yeah I feel the same way! Some of those frilly, colorful, loose clothing seems like a blast to try on, especially skirts. Wait…I’ve said too much… :o 
I could dig being a chick for a year. I’d be a lesbian, though.
Am I going to be a 6’2", 210 pound female?
Ehhhh…I’d do it for a month, tops. And only on the condition that it’s generally understood, from the get-go, that I am male, and always have been (so none of that awkward “soooooo you’re a man now. Interesting.” stuff). Then once I’ve switched back, everyone will just have amnesia about the time when I was male.
I’ve always wanted to know what having dangly bits that actually, y’know, dangle, feels like.
Hate to burst your bubble, but unless your legs are splayed they mostly don’t do much dangling. Usually they stick to your leg.
That’s what I keep hearing, and I feel like that’s because clothing restricts them. So what I should probably do is get all manned-up and then walk around somewhere private in the buff for a day.
A lot of times I feel like a boy (albeit a rather effeminate boy) in a girl suit. So I’d like to try out being a guy for a year and see what I think of it. “Lease with option to buy” would be lovely, so I could make up my mind at the end of the year.
The only thing that would stop me is that I’m happily married to a very straight guy, and I don’t think he’d be too happy about me suddenly having an outie instead of an innie. 
If I wasn’t attached, I’d probably do it in a heartbeat.
(Usual caveats apply: it must be a “magical” transformation that would make the user completely natural as the opposite gender, not a surgical-type change.)
Yes, of course. One year with option to renew and option to buy, the same caveats as everyone else (magic not surgery, no awkward “funny you don’t LOOK like AHunter3 and wasn’t he a guy?” moments, etc)
