Yeah (assuming all practical problems are solved, and I’m not in a relationship at the time). I think trying out life as a man would be interesting, although I wouldn’t want a permanent switch.
You mean get the chance to be irrational, unaccountable and have weak arms? Yeah, where can I sign up for that?
But anyway. . .seriously, no. I don’t even get the question. Do I also get transported to some magical universe where I don’t have a job, a mortgage, or know anyone?
Or does a “freaky friday” thing happen when I switch places with someone and just have to smooth over the bumps for the first week or so?
Either way. . .no. I’m probably better off going with the misunderstandings I’ve developed over 35 years. Of all the things I’m curious about, what goes on inside a woman’s head isn’t one of them.
It’s a nice fantasy - in fantasy-world, a month would probably be fun (actually, maybe 3 weeks - that would avoid one problem :)), but in reality I’m pretty happy with my life as it is - I’m too busy to have a sex-change!
Colour me but I fail to understand what you are trying to say.
Allow me to explain: If I could change from this Greek Godlike body into a stunning full breasted wench with flowing locks of titian (or any colour) hair and a body to die for then I’d be a lesbian.
No guy would get to stick anything in me. Call me selfish but that’s just the way I am
What chowder said.
Then, after I’ve attended a years worth of Secret Sisterhood of Women meetings, I’d revert to my male self, blow the lid off the whole conspiracy, tell men what really goes on at those meetings, write a book and make millions!
Mrs. Garrison: Scissor me, Xerxes!
Xerxes: Oh yeah! Scissor!
I don’t know. I’m stuck trying to figure out why there’s a hyphen in the thread title; I never even get to the Crying Game part of the thread.

No.
I would, provided that there wouldn’t be any confusion about who was who and all, and especially if we could arrange a reciprocal switch for Pepper Mill (assuming she was willing).
I’d be curious to see if she could find it, under the circumstances.
Yeah, and I’d be a slut. Women sound like they have so much fun during sex, and they’ve got such an enormous pool to choose from. And I’d be getting favors, and free drinks, and entry to exclusive clubs, and able to dress well cheaply. Sounds like a good time, and then when the years over, I won’t even have to live with the stigma of the whore who’s a good lay but not marriage material.
Sure, but once I got to experimenting with the new parts, I’d probably not leave the house for the whole entire year.
You would if you knew about me (see post 24)
PizzaBrat You could have had kids by then
It would be better if I didn’t. I would be such a slut.
Definitely, assuming the streamlining assumptions popularized above.
I started to say no, because I couldn’t really think of anything meaningful I could do as a male that I can’t do as a female. Then I thought that maybe it would be fun to spend a year as a world-class male athlete, doing something where women just aren’t as competitive like the Tour de France.
Absolutely, yes. I’d want to experience and learn how to operate around guys when it’s just guys. How the social cues are different and what they mean and how to navigate them. I’d want to understand what the pressures of being a man in this culture are like. I’d like to know what the privileges are firsthand, too. I’d like to know what it’s like to have to deal with the male level of sex drive all day. I’d like to know what it’s like to have sex from the male side of the experience. I’d like to know what it’s like to sleep with your windows open and not have to worry about intruders, and what it’s like to be able to go through the world not having to worry about your personal safety (as much). I’d really like to know all the downsides to being male. I really have to wonder, now that I think about it, if I’d switch back at the end of the year. And I’d like to know what that would be like, too. I’m sure it would not at all be like I expect.
Sure. But only if my husband agreed to switch as well. Let him try being the woman for a little while! Might give us a whole new appreciation for each other.
Agreed. I’d want Elendil’s Heiress to know what was happening, too - she might want to make the same switch. Imagine the counseling our sons will need when they grow up!
Yes, exactly!
Sure I would. Oh wait. . . menstruation would be a part of it? Forget it.
