If you woke up tommorrow morning in the body of someone of the opposite gender, what would you do? Here’s the catch: You are stuck in that person’s body the rest of their physical life. Your own body is in a secret location in some sort of suspended animation. The original owner of the other body is still conscious, but you are the one in complete control, both mentally and physically. For life. For better or worse. What would you do? Use your imagination. ---

Oh you want us to post it. I was just using my imagination. I don’t know. Suppose I’d do the solo sex thing first, then maybe practice putting tampons in so I don’t make a mess of it when I have to do it for real, then, I don’t know. ---

What does this mean, she’s in there with me all the time? That could be the only problem, aside from having to buy a new wardrobe and ID. My husband is pansexual, so no problem with him. ---

I think the first thing would be to re-read Heinlein’s _I Will Fear No Evil_, since it is pretty much the same story… And that’s about all the imagination I’ve got at this hour of the morning… ---

I’d probably not change a thing. But i’d be careful to be more feminine since in life i’m a man and I wouldnt know how to move, think, or act like a female even if I suddenly woke up as one.
