i am womdering if anyone has ever wished  they could trade bodies with someone of the opposite sex. on a temporary basis or long term just to try it out before going thru with any perminate changes....

Like a loaner body while mine's being fixed up?

yeah i guess you could explain it that way lol.... or even as a trial run before the repairs are started

I'll bite on this one...

No. I don't feel like it would do me much good. Changing the body I live in is means to an end for me, not the end itself.

Besides, who knows where that other person's body has been, or what they've been doing with it? Eeew 

lol never thought of it that way... but again i did say temporary

I haven't, not even temporarily. I've lived my entire life in someone else's body and I don't want to live in another, even if they have the anatomy I want.

Want to trade one late seventies boxy slighty used but still functional body. Some TLC needed but still has all OEM parts and has served me well as a work horse. Sometimes has a gas problem... still cant figure that one out.

looking for a slighty newer model, smaller and a little more sporty.

LOL, It wont work with me (for the other person) it will be mostly the same.

Haha, sounds like an ad out of a sci-fi flik.

I would have one at no second thought..

I am who I am ("Ehyeh asher ehyeh") in my soul/mind... The rest of this meat, doesn't make who I am or who I'm not.

I would however feel a lot more comfortable in a male body, and would pass *significantly* better as well.

I don't feel that I'd lose any of my "self" by swapping out for a different shell, instead I feel that I'd be able to just *be* myself instead of "a guy in a girl's body". And it would be better than what hormones and surgeries will be able to eventually give me.

So if "body transplants" were possible, I'd be the first to sign up.

That being said, life ain't perfect and I highly doubt body transplants will ever be possible. So I'm perfectly comfortable making do with what God/nature/chaos gave me.

Do I wish I could have a perfectly male body? Yes. But I would rather have a nearly-there model after many years of pain/money/struggle/risk than to be stuck in a clearly and undeniably female body for the rest of my life...

I think I would for temporary purposes for sure. But in the end I would want my body if only just because it is the skin I am used to living in.

I know we are talking about switching bodies, but anyone remember the movie Face-Off?

Oh yes. I'd probably end up keeping it.

Maybe to try it for a day. But I wouldnt want it permanetly. I just want to be me. I wouldnt want to be a 6'5 bodybuilder man because thats not who I am.

I wouldn't want to be a 6'5" bodybuilder either, but I'd like to go "body shopping" for a model that *would* suit who I am... Topher Grace would actually be a good candidate. I think I could pull off a Topher Grace body...

depends on what it looked like. 
seriously though? no, although I might trade butts with someone. 

I have definitely in the past. Now. . . still would like to try it out for a bit. It would be better than figuring out, after spending years (and of course the boatload of money) trying to get a male body, figuring out it's just not for me.

Now I don't doubt (significantly) that this is the path I should take but you can never really be certain about things like this until they're finished, now can you?

i've just come out after twenty years of wondering and trying to hide it and the chance to borrow another body would be great just so i know that im not making a mistake

I've often wondered, if god came to me and said "alright, I don't usually do this but I'm going to give you a choice, but you have to make it now, and there's no going back, I can change you into a female body, nothing else will change, nothing at all, you will have no way of proving who you used to be... OR I can <insert something positive here>", what would my answer be?

Without fail, in my mind, I have always figured I would pick the former.

So yeah, if we have the technology to swap bodies, I'd do it, temporary or permanent, in a heartbeat.

I've had this discussion with my ex before, if only we had the technology to swap bodies, we'd be right in line in a heartbeat! haha But that deal no longer stands now that she's 'ruining' that perfect body with Estrogen!

(Yes, yes, yes, I realize the estrogen is helping to FIX the body, and I'm uber happy she's taking it as she's MUCH more fun to talk to now!) Just had to clarify that it's just that I don't want her body anymore
