I was going to do this in a poll but decided to see who would step up and be public.


The Fairy Goddess tells you that she will totally remake you into just an average looking woman, not beautiful nor horrid, just another everyday female.  You will be given a new job and location to start over.  Making the same average wage at an average job.  What you do from then on is your choice.

One catch, you would have no sexual sensation, ever.  Mental or physical!

Would you?

The catch for me is the "You will be given a new job and location to start over." bit; Sex is a hinderance to me, I honestly would not miss anything to do with it, I think.


However, that forced relocation bit... lets just say it rubs my fur the wrong way.

I know this question is directed at the ladies, but
Hell NO!

Not a chance, dosen't sound like living

Hmmm, you'd have to define, "sexual sensation?"

If I can still feel passionate and affectionate and loving (giving up only physical orgasm)... then yes, in a faerie's heartbeat. Though I'll admit that I'll miss it. But it's a matter of priorities.

While it is a tempting offer at first read, I declined.  I'm the mistress of this vessel and I prefer to chart her course.

I'm very happy and content with my life as it is. Sure I would love to be thinner, but to lose my history, no I would not. I have history, though it was really not condusive to what I would have chosen, it is my history. So I would have to say no. As far as my sex life goes, well it doesn't exist anyway so it was already taken away from me. I really never had a sex life before being married and just a oh well sex life after. So I would say no.

Leigh,

This is a very interesting question and I agree, at first it seemed like an easy decision to me. I am basically estranged from my parents and siblings.  Sexual gratification certainly has not been enough to counter the depression, anger and self-loathing that I have experienced as a result of being in the wrong body.  The  sense of releif that I would certainly feel from being a real woman would be enormous. And of course, lots of women, about 20% never experience orgasms thier entire life, it is part of the female experience for many women.  So I would not be out of the norm in that regard.

The other side of this coin is that having spent such a large amount of time not liking myself, sexual gratification has been one of the few gratifying things in my life, that no one can take from me.  Why would I want to give up one of the best things in my life?

To be honest, I kinda always planned on giving it up.  Before I ever researched SRS, which was just about a year and a half ago, I always assumed I would be giving up sexual sensation.  I have been conditioning myself for that since I was 11 years old.  I have since found out that SRS does not mean giving up sexual sensation and that some post-op TS's can actually acheive orgams.  That seems absolutely remarkable to me.

To a large degree, pain makes us who we are.  The pain we suffer as human beings change who we are, how we act and react.  I think I want to get to where I am going under my own power.  I can endure the challenges and the pain, I always have.  In many ways it defines who I am.  My struggle to become the woman I am, on the outside too.

It's a great offer, but I think I will pass.

Love always,
Elizabeth

Why would she give me something I already have?

Sex?  What is that?  Sensation does not matter if you are not active anyway.

From the opposite side of the fence, since the only bit I'm missing is the bit related to sexual performance and I'm already happy with my presentation in the community and appearance, I'd say no.

After sitting on this for a while, I came to conclusion that I would say yes, on one condition: 'mental sensation' (which is a confusing term to me) does not include love or mental attraction.

I believe she meant the mental component of sexual stimulation.  Not love or attraction.

Would you?

So is there a problem with this?

Yea, but I don't think I could ever make a clear enough distinction. *Everything* is sexual to me, in a sense... or at least sensual, which is really the same thing - which is why I think I'm not particularly sexual physically. Eating ice cream, listening to my kind of music, watching particular movies...  heck, I've honesly become physically aroused when driving my car. Yea, I know, ewwww!, but I'm just sayin'... life turns me on.

So if I have to give up THAT, then there's no point in going on in ANY body.

But if I just have to give up the physical reaction... orgasm... then yes, make me female. Please.

Kate, nothing would be erotic to you.  It would just be as it is.  All activities would be taken at face value and not some underlying sexual motivation.

That's how it is for me both before and after hormones.  When I was much younger and more full of testosterone, I used to get turned on quite easily, but that has slowly died off since I was about 20 and had died off so much that hormones actually didn't do anything to my libido.

Melissa

Thus far, I've liked Steph's answer best because I too would prefer to be in control of my own destiny.  As it happens, I had a fairy prince and princess who have given me what you describe (Drs Zukowski and Bowers) without the need to relocate.  I did take that chance that I would be left without sensation but I've been thrilled to discover that the "electricity" works just fine and my libido is far from dead

I'm not sure I understand what "control" or destiny is lost by accepting the offer? You'd still be you, making decisions freely - only now as a genetic female, living an ordinary woman's life?

Well... you wouldn't be the 'you' that you made. The life, the history (unless the new GG you came out of thin air with no background? who are your parents? who are your children... are they the same, are you the mother, who is the father? who are the people that know the new you? where did the new you grow up? - when dealing with magic, things get complicated quick), and appearance of the new you would be creation of someone else. That said, even in 'our own' lives, there are life changing events that occur completely outside our control.

And even having to deal with all those changes... I think my answer is still a firm yes (as long as I can still enjoy cuddling!)

NEVER!!!!!!  Give up the the place where the people who mean most to me live..... not happening.... I am a nympho sothe no sex thing kills it..... and to be avrage.... that in itsself would be more hell than the last 2 months have been.  Id never give up what I have to be just avrage.

I have to agree with these answers here.  I would rather follow the path I am currently going down than to have somebody else put me in a situation that I wouldn't have control over.  Plus I know the potential of being a better than average looking woman is achievable for me.  I have a better than average job now and I know the potential of having feeling "down there" is also a possibility.
