The opposite sex for three days... (with a twist)

[rescuer86]

So that different light is, for three days, from your initial wake up on the first morning - you are now the opposite gender; and this isn't just your body we're talking about. You now posses and same genetic mind structure as the opposite sex.

I am surprised no one has pointed out the circular logic here. Now, I may be overthinking this, which is something I do 99.99% of the time, but if I wake up a female with a female's mind (which is what I assume you are trying to say) then I AM a female. I already understand about "issues", because I am a female. Therefore, I would do chick stuff like buy scented candles, drink red wine, get drunk after 3 coolers, watch romantic comedies, read Nicolas Sparks and think that every book has its own plot and miss the fact that the characters are interchangeable, tell all my guy friends they are so nice and I would love to date someone like them, then have sex with the unemployed jerk on the motorcycle, talk for hours on the phone about nothing, dress scantily so men buy me drinks, stop talking to one of my friends because she didn't compliment my new hairdo, and have bubble baths and naked pillow fights with my hot friends. That's what women do, right?

I am gonna go listen to My Chemical Romance and write dark poetry now.

Well I'd probably try to better understand society from a woman's point of view so that that I can better empathize with females once I become male again. All the while I'd mess with everyone's mind (as I'd do with any sudden change like this). Seeing people's faces would be priceless.

Yeah, and I guess rub one out. Or two...

Take a piss standing up.

For 3 days.

That would be the manliest piss ever.

Sorry, sorry. My bad.

You now posses and same genetic mind structure as the opposite sex. Therefore, let's assume, that if you were a straight female when you went to bed the night before, you'd wake up a straight male. Understand where I'm going with this?

Wait, what? Genderbased "genetic mindstructure"?

Yes, the brain anatomy might be different but we still don't know for sure if there's actually such a thing as a difference in the mind. Behaviour patterns could just as well be influenced by the varying levels of hormones for all we know. Ah, never mind I'll not go into the science right now.

IIt wouldn't really matter if I have a different mindstructure than usual because if I know that im usually a man and woke up a woman, I'd lock myself in for those three days and wait until the condition goes away.

Im extremely happy about being a man I and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Your right! No one does know! and that's what I'm getting at, wouldn't it be interesting to find out? I'm talking about breaking the boundaries between the sexes here. A look at both sexes mindset and emotion through the same person would be a wonderful and fascinating thing.

Well you can get an understanding of that. It's a matter of developing your sense of empathy.

That said, one can certainly have way too much empathy. Sometimes it's worth using when making decisions, at other times however it isn't very appropriate.

Would you be female straight off? yes you would, but you would have that thrust upon you which could be rather scary at first, as all your experiences up to that point would have been learned as a male. I like your monologue about women though, jolly good! *ctrl + c's your post*

 

[Death God]

The first day would be spent figure out what happened and how and trying to avoid people I know. The second day would be spent philosophizing and understanding what it is like to be a woman. The third day would be spend seeing what I can get for being a woman and, initially, "exploring" myself.

 

[crudus]

I would actually see if I still have the same alcohol tolerance and see if I can do as many push-ups...you know, after the masturbating and lesbian experimenting.

I think you've got a misconception going on here, since you assume that one's mind is under so much influence by the body.

I'm less under that impression as I am thinking about what we don't know. No one knows what specific or subtle differences there are between the male and female mind, and that's something I'd be very interested in discovering, if there is a difference at all. XD Wouldn't it be cool to be able to find out? Is what I'm saying. =)

Females are better at multi-tasking, smelling things, keeping track of social happenings, can see more colors, have a lower pain threshold(except around childbirth), and a lower alcohol tolerance. Heterosexual Males are better at visual mapping(but not homosexual ones, its weird).

note: I am not saying pick two random people and compare them on all of those. I am saying at the top of the bell curve this holds true.

Biology does have quite a bit to do with mental process. Otherwise drugs (prescription or otherwise) really would not have done as well. There are vastly different hormone levels in the male and female body.

Take a piss standing up.

For 3 days.

Like..straight?

Ok, I'll also crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their women.

Silly NG Barbarian.

Damn. This had kept me giggling for at least 15 minutes now. Bravo to you, and may I add '/thread'?


As for me, well I don't forsee much adjustment after a shift from 'tall skinny effeminate male' to 'tall skinny androgynous woman.' Figure the taste in clothing would remain the same, body form wouldn't change that much, and my friends have seen enough of me in drag that showing up as a woman wouldn't phase them too much.

I really think the major difference in said three days would be the fact I'd restart smoking, as quite frankly I'd figure that cancer would be the least of my worries in the moment.

 

[Daedalus1942]

I've seen this thread done before here on the Escapist, but it just boiled down into statements like: 'Hur hurr, spend all day in the bathroom in front of a mirror / in the shower' So, I say no! Stop! That is NOT the opposite sex, that's just your current mind in the other genders body with the same sexual urges and your same personal priorities.

This thread is looking at the topic through a different light. I'm looking for some depth in peoples responses to this interesting topic and idea. Thus why I?ve given you three days, not just one as was the last time I saw this thread.

So that different light is, for three days, from your initial wake up on the first morning - you are now the opposite gender; and this isn't just your body we're talking about. You now posses and same genetic mind structure as the opposite sex. Therefore, let's assume, that if you were a straight female when you went to bed the night before, you'd wake up a straight male. Understand where I'm going with this?

And let's say if you?re already inclined towards attraction to the same sex and you?re currently male, when you woke up on the first day you'd be female interested in the same sex. (sexually I guess not much would change if you were bi-sexual, for obvious reasons.)

So if you woke up as a new female or new male in all aspects, how would you spend your three days and why would you spend it that way?

Personally if I suddenly woke up female, (currently a straight male) - I'd be fleetingly interested in my new anatomy and spend maybe an hour discovering myself in the shower, but more important to me would be to spend the time with the now opposite sex (male) to understand both sides of the attraction story completely.
I'd see how my body reacts differently to exercise and alcohol, and I'd try to fully discover what it means to be female, in all aspects. This includes accepting myself / being myself in my new sex and enjoying / learning about the world through my new eyes - That includes from the ways I dress as a female to (possibly) the new ways I think in my new genetic mind. Lastly I?d look deeply into how I see the same world around me, if that?s changed at all.

I would immediately set out for a WAY TO MAKE IT PERMANENT.
Three days is definately not long enough >.<
It has to be permanent.

[Cheesepower5]

Probably think about it as little as possible and keep doing what I always do.

 

[Hashime]

Well I would go to the mental hospital because clearly I would have had to have lost my mind.

If it did happen I would:
A. Freak the hell out
B. Hide inside until I was a male again.

With the same mind your limbic system would be messed up beyond recognition, you would not know your own strength, and you would have significant trouble recognizing yourself.

By the way, Messed up limbic system = trouble telling where your limbs are, phantom appendages (if you know what I mean) thinking you can touch or grab something you cannot, and generally being a danger to yourself just by walking.

The chances are that one's "Stand in the mirror and masturbate" plan would not even work because your mind would not be able to interpret the incoming information any differently from before.

 

[Drakmeire]

Sadly if it was just like me I probably would still masturbate for 3 days straight.
or I would become a total whore and sleep with almost every guy that catches my eye. (at least they would be smart, intelligent ones and not a bunch of jocks)

I have to say that I reckon Male and Females both do have different mindsets, otherwise why would the majority of a gender be attracted to the opposite gender, in both humans and animals.

Oh and if I woke up a straight female, screw it I'd still spend the whole time masturbating, I mean I do so as a male D:<.

 

[Brawndo]

Immediately whore myself for attention online and try to get as much money as possible from cam sites before I revert back to a male. I'm not being cute either, I'm completely serious. Attractive women have an "easy button" for life they can choose to exploit if they don't care about their self-worth or self-esteem, and I would want to exploit this power as much as possible.

 

[Paksenarrion]

Hey hey hey! The OP said you'd wake up "a man" if you're female. Nothing was said about waking up as austrian testosterone on legs.

EDIT: ... But once you're finished with that, are you going to "GET TO DA CHOPPAH!" afterwards? XD

XD I might get used to being able to urinate standing up. You know what they say, if you give a man a jingle, he jingles for one day. You teach a man to jingle, he JINGLE ALL THE WAY!

Take a piss standing up.

For 3 days.

That would be the manliest piss ever.

I'd be the most interesting man in the world.

I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I piss alcohol for 3 days.

Like..straight?

Well, if the slight uneven-ness of my breasts translate through the change, then there would be a slight tendency to shoot three degrees to the left. I'll just compensate for wind resistance.

I aim to please. Or, as the case may be, three degrees to the left.

If I were a woman who suddenly found herself as a man, that is definitely what I would do.
Thinking about it from the other side of the equation, it's such a fascinatingly weird and kinda gross process.

OT: I have no idea. Probably investigate the double standards of society.
That, and buy a lot of clothes. I like clothes, but as a dude, I always get weird looks if I buy more than a jacket, some jeans or a shirt and a packet of boxers at once.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

Quite frankly, spend that time either exploring myself, or looking for another female in which to have sensual girl-on-girl interactions. I honestly can't imagine myself doing anything else. Even with a female's mind, I wouldn't know what the fuck to do with it (ie. interacting with other people), let alone understand it.

..In other words, the porn I usually watch. But I'd have a "front row seat" this time, in a manner of speaking.

 

[Hiraeth]

Probably the first thing I'd do if I turned into a guy is call my boyfriend and freak him the hell out. I mean sure I'd sound pretty different, but I'd be calling from the same mobile number, and I'd know all sorts of intimate details about the two of us... Then after three days everything goes back to normal and I make like he was imagining the whole thing.
