...what would you do with your 24 hours?

Let's assume you get an appropriate wash of hormones, pheremones, chromosones or whatever, so you can think and feel like the opposite sex too, so you can try out what you *perceive* to be gender differences, be it reverse parking, doing three things at once or fancying Kate Bush...



*Given the various possible combinations of sex and gender, those of a more complex situation may wish to adopt "a situation strongly contrasting to their current main alignment"

*gets stopwatch out to measure how long it takes for an argument to start*

I've often wondered if it would be possible to be someone else for a day. The problem is, if I know that I'm someone else, then I would still be me, but if I didn't know I was someone else, then I would be them anyway.

But going back to the thread, I would like to experience the time of the month (I'm sure most women would like most men to experience this).

Well, I guess it was only going to be a few posts before someone says...;
Having sexual intercourse; to experiance it from teh female perspective... (possible intention being that having such an experiance might improve ability to have intercourse as a male...) I'll get my coat...

Not Spinks - he's goping to be curled up with a hot water bottle, some paracetemol and a tub of Rocky Road ice cream, and the last thing on his mind will be getting jiggy!

Of course - there's a big difference between putting up with that for one day, Spinks, and having to go through it every four weeks for 30-40 years...

If I could change my sex...Is that meaning mny gender, or my sexual technique?

OK, what would I do?

- Go and appreciate some cushions
- Get genuinely excited about Coronation Street
- Wrap five years worth of Christmas presents
- Pee sitting down (well, I could do that anyway, but just for the novelty value)
- Drink a half-pint without being sneered at

But mostly I suspect I'd just play with my breasts for 24 hours.

Strange thing is CC, I've got flu at the moment so I've been doing lots of that anyway

i don't think I'd like being a man very much. The couple bad days a month I'm stuck with are more than compensated for with the ability to have multiple orgasms in rapid succession.

I have, however, always thought it would be fun to be able to write my name in the snow.

Sorry I couldn't be more serious about this one.

I hope the paracetemol et al are working Spinks, but don't DON'T try tampons for the flu!

Who wants to be serious?
I'd go into a garage to see if I din't get patronised.
O'd get lots of things down off a top shelf
I'd walk alone down a dark shortcut
I'd see if reverse parking *was* any easier
I'd compare shaving face to legs
And I definitely want to know what a stiffy feels like from the *inside*...
...and an adam's apple, come to that

They don't feel like much at all. Mine's not very big, anyway.



My Adam's Apple, that is.

I'm not sure I could describe an erect member from the inside. Apart from: very embarrassing if you're not wearing a jacket.

You get these kinds of posts from time to time ,

My response is probly pre programed and has already been mentioned, although I'd like to know what it feels like to walk into somewere and get interested looks, or just general physical atraction, I'd also like to find out why women put themselves though so much to look good, perhaps it's a mind set. sex would be on the cards at some point, although I don't know if that isn't risky not having sex as a male either. although you get to compare the orgasims at least, that would be interesting.

But then again I'd also like to find out what it's like to have wings and fly around, or to be some other kind of animal and/or person, it's just a matter of imagination and perspective.

Now that's a good idea. It would be most interesting to go out wearing a low-cut top, just to see the reactions - as an addicted people-watcher.

I love the assumption that everyone would become an *attractive* or bosomly blessed member of the opposite sex.

I think all the men should try running and throwing with boobs...if they aren't bouncing all over the place, they're getting in the way...

what so it's in your industy? just 'on the other side'

Sorry Pencil Queen, simule post,

Can imagen, but then if the alternative is being male, would you give them up?

-- DoctorMO --

All women are more attractive than men, by the simple expedient of having curves, nice lips, and no wrinly objects dangling between their legs.

yes, but are we so sure that they don't tell us that they fancy us, because to do so would present an open invitation to any male, alot of it is mind games. and what you just descibed is the very open atitude the male has towards most females.

If I were in a man's body for a day I'd go into sensual/sexual overdrive. I'd sniff and taste all sorts of things to see if they were different from what I'm used to. I'd be a gonzo hyper slut with both men and women, try to put 'my' body through every possible form of sex I could convince people to participate in with me. That would be awesome, because there'd be no worries about having to deal with STDs or social repercussions. Towards the end of the day I'd try ecstasy, because it's something I've been curious about for years but not willing to take and risk being an unlucky statistic.

I'd probably also try surfing or waterskiing just to see what it would be like to have a sense of balance like a 'normal' person.

Hmm... Would I be at the same weight?
Do you get to choose which body style?

Is there a vibrator close at hand?

Whose body would I be appropriating?
And what would be happening to my regular one?

I think the hormone rush alone would keep me stoned for the whole time period.

Mmmmm...hormones
