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.

There’s someone that did exactly that, and wrote a book about it. It really is fascinating. I’m not sure actual men find being male as harrowing as the author - but it’s a very interesting read.
I’d be poor, buying all those vibrators and such. But like others, I’d be a lesbian and a huge slut. Every like another woman. Times I’m not with another woman: shower.
I guess I am weird but I suffer from a great lack of curiosity in this one area. I’ve never once wondered what it would be like if I were a guy.
I like to do a lot of “guy stuff”. I love hockey and baseball, I’m a Star Wars geek, I read comic books, and I’m a gamer. But, I just cannot imagine actually becoming a guy. I know I would be throwing away a great learning opportunity, but I feel that I might just waste it wishing I was back in my girl body.
Besides, I don’t think I could make it a whole year without being able to wear all my cute shoes.
I think I’d like to be a guy for a year but I’m a bit nervous that the other men will sense there’s something off about me and beat the crap out of me. Guys can be pretty harsh.
I’d do it in a heartbeat, and maybe I wouldn’t want to change back.
Except for My Guy. We’ve been together as two men, for almost 20 years, and I wouldn’t want to lose him. He’s about 90% gay and 5% het, and I couldn’t expect him to have only that 5% satisfied for the rest of his life, or even for a year. So . . . if I were single and had nothing to lose, I’d definitely do it. I’d love to experience sex with a man as a woman, and see how different it is from gay sex.
But ***NEVER ***as a lesbian!!! It’d feel like we were both aliens (and not in a good way).
