    Because when you're gay you look at girls and you might think, "Wow, she's pretty," but when you look at
    guys you think, "Take off you pants. Right now!"

    There is a lot of wisdom in that quote.

    If I were a guy for a day, I'd probably be arrested for sexual harrassment, being that as a woman, I am quite vocal about my appreciation for the male form, shall we say. If I was a guy saying stuff like that to girls, i'd be clapped in irons before I'd even have a chance to try out my physical functioning.
    Plus, I've always felt (and this is something I've oddly dwelled upon quite a lot), that if I were a man, I'd be gay. Or bi. As a woman, I find myself attracted to gay men quite a lot, so I guess as a man, I'd probably be the same.

    On saying that though, I'd spend the day seeing how men are treated differently to women, and then in the evening I'd be hitting the bars and clubs in town and trying to sleep with as many people as I physically could in the limited time I had left. It seems to me to be far easier for men to get their end away than for women to do the same thing.

    Question 3)

    If you did decide to sleep with someone (purely for scientific research....) how would you explain things in the morning?

    I'l let them roll over and see me, then smile, and tell them to stay away from my sister. Then I'd kiss them on the forehead and leave. The look on their face would be priceless.

    Both of those just made me laugh. A lot harder than I should have, I'm sure.

    So I'm not the only one!! :eek: My friends always tease me because most of the guys I like end up being gay. :(

    Me: "Ooh, he's cute."
    Friend: "He's gay."
    Me: "Seriously?"
    Friend: "Yep."

    *cute guy's boyfriend walks up*

    Me: "Dang."

    This is a well known phenomenon in the [​IMG] community.

    I don't know if that would ever happen for research, but that would be really awkward. I wouldn't just leave in the morning, unless I was on vacay and the person lived where I was vacationing. But if we lived in the same state/city I would figure out something to say.

    Well, no harm can come from answering, so...


    1) I think, the first thing I would do is look at various items in my room and see if my perception of them changes at all. Just because, really. :p

    2) I think I'd learn whether girls really have twice the pain receptors of boys, or whether that's an urban myth, and also how uncomfortable bras really are. :D

    3) I'd hope to learn if a girl being hit in the crotch hurts as much as it would for a man. :p

    LEVEL 2

    I'm not joking at all when I say that the vast majority of my friends are gay/lesbian or bisexual, and I certainly wouldn't count it as a bad thing. :)

    That's... about it, really.

    Ok, I thought of something else I would do if I were a guy. Play video games. See if a. I enjoyed them more as a male than I do as a female, and b. I was any better at them as a male than I am as a female.

    It's unfair. :(

    Cute guys are usually A.) Taken B.) Jerks or C.) Attracted to the sex which you are not.

    1.) I would love for my husband and I to switch genders to discover how the other half lives...and..."loves"...and how we...um...love ourselves...so to speak

    2.) I am already attracted to girls as well...so...if I started to prefer girls to men...well..I would still be married...so I still couldn't do anything about it...

    It's not unfair at all. After all, we have the same problem on our side of the fence, except a noticeable lack of option C.

    Here's something to consider; if a straight man gets turned into a woman for a day, would he really get attracted to men? I mean she. Lol. I have my doubts, I think he might get attracted to females still, out of pure habit if nothing else, lol.

    And also I think many of you have a rather optimistic view on the concept. "It's all fun and games until it actually happens"-ish. I find it unlikely that I would be in any condition to go about sleeping with someone for "scientific purposes". You wake up as a different gender than you were when you went to sleep. If that doesn't mess with your head, I wonder what does. I would probably spend hours trying to find out what the hell was going on before ending up in a mental institution/glass box to be studied by scientists. Lol.

    The scenario seemed to imply that we knew that it would be up to us whether or not to change for a day. Then go on to ask what we would do. :p

    Oh my goodness! Moral convictions, where are you?! *looks in corners of thread*

    If someone forced me to be a male for the day, I don't know what I'd do. I certainly wouldn't go screw someone though... heck, I still hide my eyes at the kissing scenes on TV... And I wouldn't be able to pee in the snow, either. I'd feel like I was violating myself. In fact, I wouldn't be able to pee, period. I'd be miserable.

    I'd say it's more of a lack of influences... you'd learn it's sooo much easier to think as a girl. ;)

    What does it mean to 'get lettuce'?

    And if I started being attracted to females... why, then I'd really be in bad shape. I wouldn't be able to look at anyone at school! It's bad enough not being able to look at half.

    Hmm... I'd just take it (being a guy for a day) as an opportunity to be completely unrecognisable the next day, so I'd do the obvious....rob a bank. ;)

    You've been a guy as well? :O

    EDIT: Just read the beginning of your post a second time and I must say it seems like there are plenty of influences on the thought process ^^

    My imagination. But I drop by the real world for m
    Body switching would be an incredibly disorientating experience. Suddenly your weight, height and other proportions would be utterly different; effectively shooting you balance to hell.

    So if I suddenly woke up in the body of a chick. I’d probably stumble around drunkenly bumping into things, falling over and generally looking like someone from Funniest Home Videos.

    Hey someone grab the camera, maybe I can win something for my suffering!
