That so many people in this thread responded with "masturbate", "have sex", or "look at myself in the mirror naked", is a massive let down. I had thought this community was beyond that sort of thing. Why your gender changing would give you a sex organ you don't have or make you sexually attracted to yourself is beyond me.
Not surprising to me, actually. It is the first place most people go. I've considered sex change before[footnote]...from a role-play or thought-experiment perspective. Never felt the need for actual reassignment. And as a wall of a guy, I make a ridiculous femme.[/footnote], so I have some idea of what to expect. (And I think we tend to imagine sex change from the magical or fairy-tale perspective, not only swapping out genitalia, but gaining all the minor secondary characteristics, such as facial hair, a larger/smaller frame, facial changes, hips, skeletal changes and so on. Certainly nothing like sexual reassignment as it exists with modern medical technology.)
We'll always have some insecurity with our bodies. The hot-looking women I know put a
lot of work into continuing to look hot. I'm not sure I could invest that much time and energy into vanity. Most girls are continuously changing shape, too, so non-stretchy clothes can be too loose one day and too tight the next (which doesn't help if one is trying to manage her weight).
My floppy bits don't interest me much as a man, so why would they as a woman?[footnote]I suspect breasts are kinda like a scrotum in that they flop about needlessly unless secured and get sweaty in hot weather. Big breasts can mesmerize men, but call a lot of unwanted attention and are hard on the back. Oh, note to newly transformed guys:
Wearing your sex organs on the outside is a liability. Protect them![/footnote] From what I've heard, as a girl, your breasts are always the wrong shape, the wrong size and point in the wrong directions. And while I am ridiculously fond of boobs, it's very clear that part of the buzz is that they're a bodily part of someone I like (and the groping of whom is not always an option). Less so if it's me, and I have to grope my bits regularly to adjust them for comfort.
And then there's the hormone shift. To me, men are hard and bony and smell funny, and women are soft and warm and yummy. Would that completely change? Would I suddenly want that rugged hardness (so to speak)? Would other women seem overly squishy? That's not a perspective around which I can yet wrap my mind. [footnote]Nor do I have a clear understanding of how one lives with the social issues, only some of which I get. Women are often not taken seriously just because they're women (and therefore simple-minded sex objects, or hysterical by default, or otherwise unworthy of the respect due a man). I could quickly find myself embittered and temperamental. I suspect the eighth or ninth time I was called a slut, a ***** or an abortionist, I'd have to hose someone down with bear-mace.[/footnote]
Still, multiple orgasms might be cool, if I were blessed enough to get them.
