lol - so, let me get this right... 95% of you guys would take this opportunity to play with your boobs, masturbate, and have sex with other girls? priceless.

And if you had a cock for a week, Sprite? What would you do with it? You wouldn't touch it or want to use it with anyone else? Vote seems a little varied on who we'd want to have sex with though.

oh, yeah, i'd totally play with it and enjoy the experience, i won't lie about that. Not the first thing that popped into my head though - among my thoughts? i'd want to feel what it felt like to walk down town at night by myself or to go to the park and play pick up sports with other guys. i'd run around on a hot summers day without my shirt on. i'd walk into the comic shop and get included in conversations about Batman. i'd go to bars and have a drink and stalk sports instead of getting hit on. i'd join a band and play something besides tambourine. I'd wouldn't have to worry about being on the pill or carrying condoms with me and if i had drunk unprotected sex with someone who's name i didn't know, i wouldn't worry about being in a panic until my next period. and hell, i wouldn't have to ever WORRY about having a period. i'd pee behind tress and on walls, just cause i could! :)

I'd be able to look at people without worrying about them thinking I was 'creepy'; I could laugh, cry, giggle, and even smile freely without any form of judgement; I'd go to work in warm weather dressed in sandals and light clothes rather than dress shoes, wool pants, dress shirt and tie; I'd walk into a bar, gym, hell, just about _anywhere_ and be able to have a conversation that WASN'T about sports; I could go to a bar and NOT pay for drinks; I could be openly flirtatious or even sexual without being considered offensive; I could enjoy being the object of attention rather than the more common derision and disdain we men get when trying to talk to women who are sick of being hit on; I could speak my mind with whatever vigor I wanted without worrying about getting into a fight; I could have sex while just relaxing and enjoying it without having to even think about angles, tempo, second, third, and fourth erogenous zones all while trying to maintain steely hardness but not enjoying it "too much"; I couild play a sport or a game for its own enjoyment without needing to excel at it.

The condom thing is a wash--I think we're all responsible for this, and I'm unlikely to join a band at my age, regardless of which instrument I'm allowed to play so that's not really a factor; besides, there are lots of women who do more than play tambourine in bands.

The personal security and periods are significant downsides, no question there, although men do get into fights a lot more often than women get assaulted so it's not exactly 'carefree' as a male.

I think men know full well who has all the sexual power and realize that sex for us has a lot to do with performance and control rather than simple pleasure so you see the responses addressing these frustrations.

As always, a good post Lady Sprite.

your thoughtful reply on what i would do as a woman for a week gave me a LOT to think about. i think, obviously, both genders are well aware of the benefits of the other, sometimes forgetting the benefits of their own sex - thank you for opening my eyes a little. much of what you said is true - from my POV, as a girl, certain things are expected of me, and it's assumed that i'm a certain way because of my gender - men, as well, though - i'm really tired of hearing guys made fun of for having a 'girly' side as well as girls derided for stepping outside the box as well - for example, i wonder how many would be surprised to find that i keep a well stocked tool box and do a lot of my own repairs around the house and a little carpentry as well. i can change a tire on my car without help, i can throw a baseball as well as most men, better than some, i am the go to girl for putting together furniture from IKEA, and i know as much about comic books as a lot of guys.
