[SFW] If you could be the opposite gender for one day, what would you want to do that your current gender stops you from doing?

Pee pretty much anywhere. If my boyfriend needs the toilet when on a long car journey we just stop and he goes in the nearest bush. I have to wait until we get to the nearest service station as I don’t feel comfortable just squatting anywhere! It’s something that I often feel jealous of!!

Slap on some make-up & figure hugging little black dress.

Pee off the bow of a sailboat.

Not easy to do if you’re a chick.

Like @Leanne1986 and @Mama_Cakes, I want to be able to pee anywhere I might need to. Otherwise, I can’t think of anything.

Go shirtless, that makes me so jealous! :)

It’s also not easy to do (or advisable) if you’re sailing into the wind, @Mama_Cakes, or in rough seas at any time.

For all the women who would like to pee standing up, you should know that you already can, and you can do it in public in ways that most men can’t: Go-Girl. I’m sure there are other FUDs available; this is the only one I know of, and it’s got a catchy and memorable name.

But to answer the question, I’d like to enjoy shopping for shoes a lot more than I do.

The stern then? When I’m out sailing with a racing team, the guys pee off of the stern.

@CWOTUS I was going to say one of my clients sells the go-girl on his site, and it seems like an imminently useful device to me. Why didn’t I think of that?

And @KNOWITALL you can go shirtless anytime you like as far as I’m concerned. No need for a sex change to play some shirts vs. skins flag football.

For technical reference only, @Mama_Cakes (in case you’re ever writing a story, for example, or advising a child), my own preferred technique is to stand on the leeward deck (as long as that’s not underwater or about to be so), wrap one arm around a side shroud, and aim with the other. On a calm day or while running downwind, the stern can work.

In other words, it’s the sailor’s ancient “one hand for you, one hand for the ship” dictum, applied to something other than furling or unfurling sails at a yardarm. (Pissing from the yardarm apparently never did catch on, owing partly to the fact that it’s psychologically difficult to piss under any kind of control while swaying through 90° swings, but also because it’s not good form to piss on the sail, and not at all safe to piss on the officers or petty officers who may be standing on the deck and watching you nominally work.)

Sorry, but the Go-Girl is just one more damn thing to carry around. I just want to be able to find a tree and go without having to deal with some contraption! It’s a great idea, but not the same as pee and move on.

Obviously, see what fucking is like from the other side.
Also, go to any interesting all-male hangouts like the Metropolitan Club in DC and perhaps the upper levels of the Mormon Temple that are exclusively the prerogative of male church elders. And perhaps visit with sheikhs and smoke hookah while the women languish in the seraglio.

@Leanne1986 there was a very thick sci-fi book I read many years ago that gave a very precise graphic description of how a woman could pee standing up ejecting her stream at a distance like a man. If I remember it involved manipulating the clitoris into a particular position. Then all you need is the proper apparel to let loose anywhere. :-)

I am still trying to find this book. I thought it was Dhalgren but that didn’t seem to turn anything up.

Would love to know if anyone else does.

@CWOTUS They’re also called she-wees. I love that!

@anartist Interesting!

I thought you were talking about shoo-ees, @Leanne1986.

If I was a man for a day, I’d like to see if I could pick up a girl I found attractive. I’d know what NOT to say, but I wonder if I could score knowing what I know.
Probably, because I was still me inside, I’d be scared to say anything. Still, I’d make an effort.

I. Wear a nice slick suit and go clubbing. (I love mens suits) Though I may dance funny for a guy. LOL
2. Go shirtless on a hot day on the beach.
3. Go jogging as fast as I can. No boobs to get in the way.

@ucme The go out clubbing and… [redacted—See NSFW]

@tedibear Till matter-energy scramblers come along the Go-Girl I can offer and remain SFW.

@anartist Getting mighty close to NSFW there.

@Leanne1986 I like She-wees too.

@Sunny2 Even when I was still young and good looking, it wasn’t a project to give yourself just one day for.

@Pandora Great package of ideas.

~ Get higher grades in university. Have someone give me free drinks and finance my lifestyle of Bon Bon’s and TV.~
I would like to join a quilters circle.

@talljasperman For real? What’s stopping you from quilting?

@ETpro In Jasper it was women only. A place for wine, quilting and gossip. Now the whole store closed down. I can weave on a portable loom when I have the money. I just need some nails and four planks of wood for the frame, and some cotton or wool string. I have the free time I just need to purchase and assemble the parts together.

I haven’t done the makeover, so the store isn’t beautiful. But one of my other clients, AceSewVac.com has a thriving business in deep throat quiting machines. If you are interested they do have refurbs that are reasonably priced. See Long Arm Quilters and Quilting Frames

@KNOWITALL You can go shirtless in NYC, baring one’s chest in public for non-commercial activity is perfectly legal, and NSFW

Personally I think it would be fun to wear flirty clothing and have people like it. Guys really just can’t do that.

@dabbler I’d love to be able to do it if I could, but as a male, that lure has never landed a fish for me.

@ETpro I know, it can be fun, but more likely to get all the wrong kinds of attention.

Halloween is a good opportunity to give it a go. On the day before halloween a few years ago, to go with my outfit I was at a Payless shoe store with a pair of size 12 pumps and the other two people in line were men with women’s shoes, too. There is some pent-up appetite to play on the other side.

Wear a thong to the beach.
Have my boobs sucked.
Play with my hair.
Shake my butt on the wall upside down.

@dabbler I’ve more than been there. I spent a year living and working as a woman back in my youth. I know how much heels hurt, and how clip-on earrings leave your ear lobes feeling if you tighten them enough to keep them from falling off.

@Eggie Sounds like you’re ready for your day of fun in the sun.

@ETpro Now there’s a story !! (so many questions…)

@dabbler Here’s more of the story.

@ETpro living and working as the opposite sex? Why? Where? How? [you already answered “who, when, what”]
I am fascinated. Historically it is usually the other way around. All that spring to mind for your direction are movies like “some like it Hot” and “Mrs Doubtfire”

I had felt like I should have been a girl since my earliest memories. At 3, I asked my mom for a nightgown to sleep in. She must have figured it would shame me out of the idea, because she gave me a beautiful blue floor-length nylon gown with white lace around the collar and a pink ribbon bow mid collar. I loved it and slept in it constantly, much to my dad’s horror. This was 1947, mind you.

I struggled with gender identity all through my teens. I found females attractive. That’s why I wanted to be one. And so I ended up marrying and fathering two children before my wife sensed something strange in me and left me, taking the kids with her.

In the depression that followed that, I started exploring gender reassignment surgery. I got hormone therapy and started growing breasts. One requirement was that, while in the care of a psychologist, I spend a year living and working as a female, which I did. But as the time drew close, I had second thoughts. I wanted to be a female, which I knew meant having X-X chromosomes. I despised the idea of being a female impersonator, and I felt that all sex reassignment surgery really amounted to was being a more convincing female impersonator. Not that there is anything inherently wrong with being a female impersonator if that’s what you want to be. It just wasn’t my cup of tea. So at the moment of truth, I backed out. I started working out. I’ve grown a full beard. I actually like being a male. But I know what it is to be female and to give yourself to a man, and I think I am richer for that knowledge.

@ETpro Bravo, sir. Must have taken some courage, and a mighty bit of internal integrity to explore that within yourself.

@dabbler Thank you.
