I've always said that I'd never want to be a man. I simply don't know what I'd do with one of those annoying little appendages flapping around all day long.If I were a man for a day, however, I would certainly like to try a few things. For one, I wonder what it's like to pee standing up. Something about the speed with which that is done appeals to me. I'm convinced that's why there's never a line to the men's room. Men wonder why women take so long in the bathroom. Well... allow me to explain. First of all, we usually have to wipe the seat because some rude slob undoubtedly tried to pee standing up and ended up soaking the seat (women just don't have that aiming device). Then, we have to put something down on the seat (i.e. toilet paper or those things that "management provides for our safety"). THEN, we have to undo whatever garb is restricting us, take a seat, do the deed and put ourselves back together. It's all such a fiasco. All men do is unzip, do the deed, and rezip. Nothing to it.
I'd probably like to try to lift something heavy - and actually succeed.
And what really goes on when women aren't around? Is it true what they say about locker rooms? Men running around naked, talking about what (or who) they did last night?
And how can men pee in front of strangers?
There are also probably more than a few men out there who would like to have boobs for a day. They'd probably never leave the house.
So, that brings me to June's question: If you became a member of the opposite sex for a day, where would you go and what would you do?

You get the idea. One day wouldn't be enough. But after I'd tried all these things, I'd go back to being a man. I have no desire to BE a woman, only to EXPERIENCE it - especially multiple orgasms.

What would you do? This seems to be the generic answer but I'd go around w/ my shirt off all day just because I *can*. Then, like all men, I'd complain that women complain too much about everything, not appreciating that women usually have a *reason* to complain and not realizing how hypocritical I'm being by complaining about such a thing. I'd then turn into a macho pig, go out with my guy friends to the bar, get completely plastered, have sex with someone without thinking about any repurcussions of my actions, and wake up the next morning with NO recollection of last night's events and no remose.
[I tend to agree with the men in that women really have nothing worthwhile to complain about - most of all myself. And as for getting drunk, laid and feeling no guilt? If you're getting drunk and laid and feeling guilt/repercussions, then perhaps you shouldn't be getting drunk and laid in the first place...]

I'd pick my nose and rub it along the side of my pick up seat. After milking those cows, I'd head for the local tavern all by myself. I would sit at the bar and leer at women, and be real friendly. I'd play a song for them on the juke box and ask them to dance. Later, after getting them drunk, I would go parking with them at the local cemetary. To finish off my day, I'd chew snuff, spit, cuss and scratch my balls in public.

Also I'd go shopping and see if it gave me the thrill of my life to spends hours of time and hundreds of dollars doing so. If not, it would prove that it is a learned behavior and not a genetic trait of all women, as my ex-wife insisted.

What would you do? Let me start by saying your web site is well thought out and creative. Now if I were a women? Hmmm... Let's see first I would grab a huge piece of chocolate and eat it. You see personally as a male Chocolate does nothing for me. My mom however and every girl I dated has had a fixation for it. Next I would smell some flowers because once again, I don't see the point. Maybe the flowers smell better from a females nose. The whole breast thing, wellll.... we won't even go there :-). I would go to a bar and watch how drunkin men stumble over themselves trying to take me home. You see my whole theory is women can choose anyone in the bar, men, on the other hand, are defenseless and un-confident in the bars. Because they think, "What happens if a slur my words or barf on her." Well not really but it sounded funny. Ok next, I would hope to understand PMS because I'll tell ya something right now, I just don't get it! Chemical change? What? Can a female understand a guy's need for sex? No, I don't think so, but it's some chemical we have called Testosterone. Maybe with a little new chemical in my body, I'd be able to understand why my sister used to throw things at me on certain days when I was younger and certain days she didn't. Plus I would know when not to piss off my girlfriends. But the main thing I would like to do if I were a female and unfortunately this would take more then one day. But I would like to fall in love to see what females see in love that maybe these eyes don't see. Then I can see. Well I'm having to much fun, I could go on forever on this question. But in order to conserve space I won't. I hope you liked my little shall we call it manifesto? Maybe I'll enlighten you next mon the with your new question.

What would you do? Upon waking I'd do that incredible "cat stretch" thing you females do. Why does it look like ecstasy for a woman? Then I'd probably masturbate for about two hours or so, attempting that multiple thang. Then maybe I'd shave all the places women shave -- just to see what it's like to be hairless. I'd go to Victoria's Secret and try on all the stuff that turns me on from the catalogs. Now it gets complicated -- I would definitely try out the power women have over men. Let's face it -- we're drooling dogs. It's pitiful, but... So I'd go to a bar, club -- whatever, and try to turn on every guy I can, but then what? Do I go home with the biggest, dumbest, loudest cro-mag I can find, or do I pick the shy guy who thought he had no chance -- just to piss off the confident cro-mags. Or do I diss all of 'em and go home with the scorching female who's been giving me eyes? As a hetero it's hard to imagine ever wanting to experience, ahem, penetration, but maybe as a woman it wouldn't be so bad. But then again, I always wonder what lesbians say to each other when nobody's around. To wrap it all up I'd probably try and get an job of equal responsibility, yet less money, then get a slap on the ass from my boss -- just to see how pissed I'd get. Maybe then I'd understand the pure hatred some women have for men. I wouldn't want to give birth. That I know. Ouch.

What would you do? What would it be like to think illogically ? To follow only my emotions, or see that pair of shoes and feel like I won't ever be happy again until I have them. Perhaps wake up next to me and take a really good look at myself from someone else's point of view. But above all, what would it be like to have breasts, wear short and tight fitting clothes, flirt to my hearts content, make every man wild and then slap the first guy that said anything about it in the face and make a scene ! That would be grand, although I not saying that all women do that, just that it is more acceptable for a woman to do that ! Great web site,by the way.

Then I write all of the answers and thoughts that I have collected into book form.

What would you do? This is actually an interesting question, since I'm in training to become a Druidic priest, and in the middle of an effort to "understand the female perspective" which is part of that process. I suppose that most of what I would do is *comparison*. How does a male orgasm compare to a female one? You occasionally read this author or that saying that women can have multiples because (in male terms) they never really reach orgasm; or, that a female orgasm is infinitely better because it hovers on "the peak" for more than a few seconds. But no one really knows, do they? That's just one aspect of feminine life and behavior that I don't think men can ever truly understand, and I'd like to. The old "power and control" myth, why women seem to **ENJOY** shopping, and pregnancy. (I guess I'd need more than a day for that last...)

As a women, not only could I get the attention, but I could make them do virtually anything just because they think they got a shot at nailing me. I wouldn't care about breasts or playing with myself, but sex would be on the agenda. If I'm gonna be a guy again in a day, the knowledge gained from actually experiencing different things (as opposed to trying to judge how things are going from her body language/facial expression) would be priceless. But honestly, what can you really learn in a day?

What would you do? Ok, I'm woman for a day. To be more specific, I'm the woman of my dreams for a day, feeling more refreshed and better than any other day, on an incredible Spring day. All criteria met I suppose I would start by looking at my self in the mirror for about 2 or three hours, then I would masturbate for another 2 or three hours, and that leaves around 18 hours left. Since I am unbelievably attractive I would put on something that I know would get alot of male gazing. Then I'd romp around somewhere and toss my long beautiful hair and laugh at the poor miserable slobs who couldn't touch me if they wanted to. Then I would find my best friend from high school and try to convince him that it's really me inside this beautiful girl. Then I would probably have to get away from him pretty quick, because we were both kinda perverted in high school. I would eventually locate someone to have sex with for the experience, male or female. This would have no bearing at the moment it occured, but it might have a giant impact the following day. So I might have to get really drunk too. Ok? Did I win? I would prefer to have medium sized breasts, please.

What would you do? Really? Does everybody want to A). Play with their breasts all day. or B). Pee standing up? I admit I'm sure I'd fondle for a few but I would imagine it become more like male masturbation after you've passed puberty on by.. Not as enjoyable as you remember but something you just have to do anyway... And peeing standing up.. Hell, I PREFER to sit down. Read the paper, solve the world's problems in a day, that sort of thing... Only men usually can't. The reason for this REALLY baffles me as to why women have a problem in the first place. You know.. It's not always that great of an aiming tool, gals... At least mine didn't come with a laser scope on it... The biggest problem is the dreaded "sprinkler shoot". Perhaps, it's just me and I need to send mine back to the manufacturer.... So what would I do, you ask? First and foremost.. I'd have to discover whether women purposely make themselves hard to approach by men or if it really is all men's minds... Secondly, I'd have to discover what the knick-knack thing is all about. Thirdly, How can you talk on the phone SOOOO long... Actually, truth be told. I can ONLY talk like that in the company of the people I'm talking to. I think a conversation misses a whole lot without facial expressions, gestures and general body language. Which is why I get so bored on the phone...
