I like how nobody here seems to realize that you CAN test-drive the opposite gender. |
|
I guess I should have worded my question a little better. |
|
Lucid dreaming, anyone? |
|
That's true for the most part, but gender is mostly a social convention, it's mostly expectations. But true that you can't really try it out or ever really be a girl even if you had surgery. |

157 is a prime number. The next prime is 163 and the previous prime is 151, which with 157 form a sexy prime triplet. Taking the arithmetic mean of those primes yields 157, thus it is a balanced prime.

I fail to see how your mind making a best-guess attempt about what it would be like equates to a 'test-drive'. You've no idea of how thought processes and experiences might differ, or the many social and physical differences that you likely have an incomplete knowledge of. It's like saying if you turn into another animal that gives you actual experience of being a different animal. It doesn't. |

Exactly, it was just another way of saying ignorance can be knowledge. |

That might be why he said "test drive". |

If it weren't for my religion, I would have a sex change and become 'lesbian'. So yeah. I hate being a guy most of the time. Just wish I was born female.. ._. |

Way to miss the point. |

I wouldn't mind experiencing a female orgasm, but I would want to switch back quickly before having a period. |

I understand where the rest of you are coming from. I'm sure your brain isn't going to do an absolutely perfect job of replicating the life of the opposite gender, but lucid dreaming is the closest one is ever going to get to experiencing the actual thing, and I'm sure that it would be realistic to such an extent that it might as well be the real thing. If you're skeptical, then try it and see for yourself. If your mind doesn't create an accurate enough representation of what being the opposite gender is like, it doesn't necessarily mean that it won't work for somebody else. |

The only thing that would give you the actual experience would be to die and be reborn as that animal. That's not my concern when it comes to gender. My point is that lucid dreaming can provide a pretty good guess at what being the opposite gender is actually like. And it's certainly more accurate than daydreaming, since you are consciously creating those scenarios as opposed to working from what your subconscious creates. Imagining that you are flying feels nowhere near as real as lucid dreaming that you are flying, and the experience itself differs in that your subconscious creates the scenario, thereby incorporating the aspects of that reality which you haven't consciously thought of. |

Explain how I amused you? And I'd be able to be myself more freely. I find it hard to express that with a male body. |

Are you dreaming?
