How would you feel if you were suddenly the opposite sex?

Question

I caught this short film ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI6H4tbBLh8 ) about a boy who suddenly finds himself a girl...and wondered, what would really go through the head of someone who is suddenly the opposite sex.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you might survive in the body of the opposite gender? What would you love? What would you hate? What do you think you could deal with? Would you conform to your new gender role, or would you continue to live the way you currently live? Would you date men or women? Could you handle sitting or standing up to use the restroom? Do you think you would be a better man / woman than most, simply because you were initially the opposite sex to begin with?

Answer 1

The cartoon is quite funny, although I hope people have understood it meant that, to be successful as a woman, you unfortunately need to adopt some of men's attitudes, and play with your "advantages". personally, I don't agree, but it's quite funny all the same.

If I were to be transformed into a man... Well, first, I would hope it wouldn't be for TEN years! I like being a woman!
I would really enjoy peeing standing up: I'm sure that can be a quite fun experience.
I would definitely have sex, because I'd like to know what it feels like to ejaculate, and what are men erogeneous parts, etc.
I don't know if I'd be a better man than most, but I wouldn't be a macho, anyway.
I'd date women, but also probably men (well, I do like a d...)
I would love not to have to do masks, and put on some make-up to look really good (although I pretty much never wear any).
I would go to bars and try to figure out how men talk to each other.
I'd really enjoy being strong (I'm quite petite, so...)
I'd try to hit on girls but in an original way (and not: "Hello... Want a drink?!" or worst "Whistle")
I'd walk around bare-chest (well, not all the time, that's just ridiculous)
AND... I would go to men's shower rooms!!!!!!!!!!

The thing is, I'm not a girly girl, so I don't think it would change much things in my life.

Answer 2

I think I would still go for men. And because I wouldn't change my personality I would probably be titled ultra gay. It would be hard to suddenly be the opposite sex, but if it was permanent I think I would eventually get the hang of it. I think the first time (or first couple times) I had to pee, I would like to do it in the privacy of my home though, thank you very much.

Answer 3

The thought does not even cross my mind I am very happy being a man and women are happy I am a man too just think if I were a woman then they would not want me on top of them

Answer 4

Wow, all I know is I'd freak out!

I wonder if that's where the ancient Greek story of Tiresias, who was first male and then female, comes from. Tiresias was considered especially wise because s/he knew life as both genders.

Answer 5

I don't know, But i feel it would all depend on how you would look at the situation, we all have the chose to be happy in any given situation, Between stimulus and response there is a space, and in that space we have the power to respond, in our response lays our happiness and freedom. I hope it makes since

Answer 6

I don't know about all that other stuff, but I would be spending a lot of time locked in my room or sitting on the washing machine.

Answer 7

man, that would be agood learning experience. I like to experience new things for perspective

Answer 8

i do believe i'd be quite confused, to say the least.
but being able to aim when peeing would be the coolest thing about it i think.

Answer 9

I dont think Id like it. lol. Id rather be myself.

Answer 10
