An interesting poll result

[pamela_a]

I'm a member of several on-line survey groups. One of them, after you answer the survey, have a page where you get bonus points for predicting the answer to a poll. I just did one where the poll question was:

What percentage of men would trade bodies with a woman for 24 hours? Their answer was 34%.

I'm sure there were a lot of varying reasons for those that answered they would but I was somewhat surprised the number was that high.

I surely would. I have always fantisied about magically switching from a male to female body and back.

I'll bet the cd's on here would be 100% LOL :)

[Shikyo]

I'll bet the cd's on here would be 100% LOL :)

But there would have to be one extra condition: They could do that as many times as they'd want to, but always with a time limit of 24 hours.

I could live with that if I had to. :)

It may seem to be a high number, yet given the chance for twenty-four hours, I think it might be a little lower than I would have expected. But for me, of course, I would be jumping at the opportunity--if I could choose the type of body.

[SherriePall]

And they didn't even ask me. Can you guess what my answer would have been?

[Mistybtm]

I would like to do that for a whole weekend :D

Tiresias, the Greek soothsayer who tried to save Oedipus' bacon, gained much wisdom from having been both a man and a woman during his life.

So yes, I'd like to gain wisdom. Sign me up for the semi-weekly plan.

I wouldn't even care what type of body but I doubt they would want it back when I was finished ;)

24 hours on, 5 minutes off.

24 hours on, 5 minutes off.

24 hours on, 5 minutes off.

:lol:

[docrobbysherry]

I find that % surprising! I would LOVE to read some of the guy's explanations for their answers!:devil:

[LadyMirabai]

I'd do it in a heartbeat...although I'm not sure I'd want to go back!

[ChibiKaiju]

But there would have to be one extra condition: They could do that as many times as they'd want to, but always with a time limit of 24 hours.So we'd all get to play Cinderella as many times as wanted?:heehee:

[Cassiecd]

I think most men are sensitive enough to want to know what that is like in order to relate better to the ladies...the question is how many of them would go longer.....or more often like us!?

[amy canada]

Knowing my luck, if I switched to a woman's body for an entire day, I'm sure I'd be on my period. LOL

[MssHyde]

it would be the quickest decision I ever made.

[Dalece]

If i could switch i hope the button would break and have to stay a woman. Love the period part.

[Angie G]

I'm in. I'd love it But wouldn't wanna stop at 24 hours. How about 2 weeks.:hugs:

Why surprised? Do you really believe CDs are the only men who have feminine desires? CDs are men who have bypassed the taboo and we have developed a closet-induced, compulsive behavior as a result. But we are all normal guys otherwise so we should expect many men to have similar thoughts except they do not pursue them because the male gender conditioning was successfully completed. Get rid of the taboo and the percentage would have been even higher.

Or look at it this way. The majority of women now incorporate masculine behavior, pastimes and clothing into their everyday lives. The same would be true for men in reverse IF the taboo would disappear. CDs are like an iceberg - we are the visible 10% above the surface, you cannot see the other 90% because it is hidden from view but it is there I assure you.

24 hours on, 5 minutes off.

24 hours on, 5 minutes off.

24 hours on, 5 minutes off.

:lol:

I'm shocked, you really would have a break of as long as 5 minutes?


So we'd all get to play Cinderella as many times as wanted?:heehee:

Yep. As many as you can through out your life time, sooner or later you have to give up for death though.

[JenJenNumber9]

How can someone be so lacking in curiosity to not want to experience 24 hours as the opposite gender ?

[Shari]

I'm there.
Where do I sign up?

Actually, I was surprised the number was so low.

Isn't just normal human curiosity enough for the majority to vote yes?

I'd have guessed somewhere in the 60 to 70 percentile range.

[Elaine Lynn]

24 hours once a week would be excellent!!!

[Shikyo]

How can someone be so lacking in curiosity to not want to experience 24 hours as the opposite gender ?

Those who are afraid of actually loving it. They are still in denial.

[Sharon]

An online poll? The 34% probably consisted of two or three 12-year olds voting over and over and over and....

:heehee:

[Kate's at home]

I agree with the curiousity question of who would not want to know if they could?!?

I have, over my years, found many men who genuinely do not like, trust, respect, or are even appreciative of women. And I have found the same with many women of men. And for so many different reasons, some conscious, more frequently not. The power of past experience and conditioning can not be underestimated, or trauma of whatever degree.

I also wonder how many men are afraid of women.

I have discussed this with the couple of loves in my life and many of female friends over the years tho, and everyone has said the same thing immediately w/o question, they like being female and would not be interested in trading, even briefly. And they seem to intuitively understand my interest in knowing or trading. And all have taken as a compliment my curiousity.

For me, trading bodies would be an interesting brief experiment, with a loved one only at that, but ultimately and I think quickly, would be beside the point.
The whole goal is to BE FEMININE, and in a female body and the accompanying socialization experiences, thinking, points of view, and emotion, which is a very different existential destination - life as a woman.

[JoAnne Wheeler]

I would, but I'd rather do it for a week or a month - maybe even a year

Sharon, It's not really an on-line poll. It's a larger national survey group that sends invitations via email and the surveys are completed online.

Satrana. What surprised me was the number that really admitted it given the "gotta be a macho guy" attitude drilled into males from birth. I agree there is the curiosity factor to include too that I didn't think of when I originally posted this.

[Sammy777]

Hmmm 34% would do it, but why?

10% wanted to be women
10% wanted to know what it feels like to be women
14% wanted to play with a set of boobs for 24hrs

Sorry, just had to because part of that is probably true. :lol2:

[Barbie1970]

I'll bet the cd's on here would be 100% LOL :)

You got my vote:daydreaming:

[sometimes_miss]

I'm surprised the numbers aren't higher. After all, we're talking about fantasy here. There are lots of things I'd like to 'try' for 24 hours. Doesn't mean it'll ever happen, or that I want everyone to know I'd like to try them. Sure, I'd like to be a GG for 24 hours. I'd also like to be an eagle, shark, giraffe, or elephant. Heck, when I was a kid, I even wanted to be a dog, looked like a lot of fun. Until I thought about what he ate.
