Aswad -> RE: Desire to be the opposite sex (8/24/2011 8:03:06 PM)

I would imagine the appeal is partly a sort of egotistical empathy, in the sense of having the same male drives and such, but desiring to live both physical sides of the male experience, and to heighten the male experience through how one fulfills the female role in a way a woman might not. Also, the female has a different set of sensations, the nature of which I expect most men will have wondered about at some point, if not so persistently. Plus, there are matters of how men often idealize and objectify women sexually that can play into the imagined experience, as well as the lack of a refractory period and so on.
Finally, from a male perspective, the female form is beautiful and sublime.
I'm quite happy as a man, but I wouldn't mind taking a female body for a test drive, so to speak. Or to spend a day with a female equivalent of my own mind to learn more about women (walking the proverbial mile in another person's heels). Neither is anything I would have wanted on an ongoing basis, however, much as the physical form appeals to the sense of aesthetics. See, the rest of the aesthetic is quite enamored with the male symbolism of penetration, and not on the receiving end (no aversion, just don't get a kick from it; I got a free banana at the store for swallowing it whole). In nature, there doesn't appear to be such a thing as a "best of both worlds" option.
Health,
al-Aswad.
