> [@scootergirl](#): > > Oh my god, what I would do to have a penis for a day let alone 30! I’ve always been curious about it. And yes, I would use it. Daily. Solo and with a woman…with my husband’s approval of course. _[Isn’t it awfully nice to have a penis Isn’t it frightfully good to have a dong](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGRPFUYUUdQ)_ You betcha. 🙂 And sure, I’d love to switch bodies with my wife for 30 days. The exploration of the other’s intimate parts from the inside, as it were, would certainly be part of the attraction. But also, my wife isn’t in the best of shape. She’s seriously overweight, and has various health issues, only some of which are related to the weight. I’d like to experience them from the inside, first, so I could just get a deeper understanding of what she’s up against every day, and second, as a person more disposed to activity and healthy eating than she is, to try to get a handle on what exercise she could manage, and what choices of food might ease her gut issues, and also might help her lose some pounds. And she might enjoy a short vacation from her body. And yes, I’d give her some blow jobs. As far as work is concerned, even though we both do the same kind of work, it’s different enough that neither of us could get up to speed on the other’s work in 30 days. We’d just have to let our bosses and co-workers in on the body-switching stuff, so that when we each showed up at our own cubes, but in the other’s body, we could just get on with our respective jobs. ---

The sexual aspect would be wild, of course, but what would be interesting in my case is that my wife and I work for different departments of the same library. We could do each other’s jobs for a month, but it would be interesting to see how long it took our coworkers to figure out that something is really amiss with Arrendajo: he just doesn’t seem himself today… seems almost like he’s adopted scootergirl’s personality… ---

> [@gaffa](#): > > But the main thing would be experiencing her amazing orgasms. Men really did get the short end of the stick in the orgasm department. I don’t think its as simple as that many women report having difficulty orgasming, with some reporting never having had an orgasm at all: > **[The Orgasm Deficit](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/news/a28359/orgasm-deficit/)** > > Why are there so many women who have never had an orgasm? So like everything else with gender its swings and roundabouts. ---
