Body-swapping in movies, jealous?

[Alice_2014_B]

Anybody else ever get jealous when a guy happens to switch bodies with an attractive woman in a movie?
Granted that it's fiction, but jeeze!
One example is in the first Scooby-Doo movie.

Yes, yes, yes! A thousand times yes! There are days I want to be a guy and days I want to be a girl but on those days I don't want to just present as a girl. I want to be her. I want to see what it's like with a smaller frame, long hair that's actually mine, a higher and softer voice, and all the parts that go with it. I want men to pay attention to me and even take me home. Is that too much to ask?! Someone needs to get on this technology!

[Joni T]

No. Not at all.

Alice,

What a great question and topic. By asking this you've helped pave another brick into my YellowBrick Road to understanding my past and motivations for "how I got here".

I almost forgot about it. I recall long ago when I was a kid there was a Tony Curtis movie called "Goodbye Charlie" (or something like that). Tony Curtis was already known for a great en femme movie role in "Some Like It Hot". He was so great. I loved that movie too, when I was young.

The premise of "Goodbye Charlie" was that Charlie was a womanizing man who fell off a boat at sea only to wash up on shore AS A WOMAN. The man, Charlie, in his death (or supernatural act), was re-born as a lovely blonde woman. The rest of the plot is the antics of a man coming to grips with having and using a woman's body WITH A MAN'S MIND. Comedy.

I seem to recall the movie coming out about the time my body SHOULD HAVE been thinking about puberty, around age 11 or 12. I was always a very late bloomer, and very effeminate in look, build and personality at the time. For some reason (that I could not fathom at the time), the movie fascinated me. I was absolutely fetched for a long time with the idea of finding myself in a girl's body. All I could think of was what I could do with such a body. I wanted THAT! I could be pretty. Boys would like me. Things would be more normal for me. I would not feel so out of place and "different from the other boys". I wouldn't be the target of Dad, because girls didn't get beaten [at least my sister didn't]. Life would be good, and I could be beautiful and loved.

Such memories get parked way in the back of the mind. Thanks for the reminder. This actually adds another small piece to my puzzle.

I recall a film called Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde, where the Doctor transformed not into a monster but a beautiful woman. I really wanted that potion he took..(and yes, I know it was only temporary and there were some side effects.....)

[rockerreds]

Yes- in Stardust Michelle P turns man into beautiful woman, I found myself wishing that could happen to me.

[Melanie Moxon]

In terms of the actual physical swap yes (i.e. my life remains the same but I get a hot new body), but I wouldn't want to have to live somebody else's life; I'd go nuts.

[docrobbysherry]

Yes. A few movies with that theme blew my hair back!:daydreaming:

I've used that theme in a number of my picto stories. I just finished my latest story which has sex AND gender switching elements in it!:devil:

I'll post pix from it next Halloween!:tongueout

[Krisi]

Yes, jealous. My fantasy is switching bodies with my wife for a week or two.

I remember one British movie that was on youtube in segments where a man and woman were on some sort of metal grate when a flash of lightning swapped their bodies. The par that stands out in my mind was where the man (now woman) had to sleep with her husband.

I think in the end they met and switched back.

[LilSissyStevie]

The body swap/magical transformation theme doesn't really do anything for me but "Zerophilia" was an interesting take on the subject.

[Melanie Moxon]

Yep, I quite liked Zerophilia myself :)

[Jen60]

Ilene, I remember “Goodbye Charlie” with great clarity. Charlie was played by Debbie Reynolds to perfection, and I remember feeling exactly as you did after seeing the movie. It stuck with me for many months!

[Asew]

Depending on the circumstances, it might be fun for a quiet weekend.

[ShelbyDawn]

My favorite fantasy. I wish I could switch back and forth.

[BrandiDoll]

Yes, one of my fantasies as well. The thought of being an actual woman and treated like a woman..... to know what it was like to be around town and know that men were looking at me and my body, and I could have my pick of practically any of them! This is usually when I'm feeling particularly ****ty.

[GracieRose]

Yes, yes, yes!

[IleneD]

Jen60,

It's good to be in your mature years, and able to remember The Olden Days. I almost didn't recall the name of the movie. I initially thought it was "Something About Charlie". And thanks for the reminder of who played the female lead. Debbie Reynolds (rest her soul, and mother of Princess Leia), was always so cute in everything she did.
You must be about my age in years to recall that movie.
But this topic actually sprang that memory back to my mind; like I tucked important data into the recesses of my psyche. The subject and the POSSIBILITIES were riveting.

[Sometimes Steffi]

I remember the movie Switch (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103016/?ref_=nv_sr_4)

It had a similar premise to "goodbye Charlie". The guy was a womanizer, and 3 of his ex-girlfriends invite him to what he thinks will be a foursome hot tub party. Instead, the 3 girls drown him in the hot tub. My favorite scene is when he wakes up in a hangover the next morning and goes to the bathroom. He reaches into his shorts to grab his tool and go, but he finds out his tool has been replaced for hers. He lets out a blood curdling scream. The rest of the movie is she going to his job, etc.

[Judy-Somthing]

When I was younger I saw "Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde" I was so envious!

Of course in the movie when Dr Jekyll turns into Sister Hyde, she a very attractive woman and doesn't want to turn back into Dr Jackal!

[lingerieLiz]

Yes, wished I could be a hot young thing. I was considered pretty and had a decent figure, but the years erased that. I wanted to change at some point to a man and skip the old woman phase. Now I'm happy to blend in with the other "old women". lol

[Christina Page]

I thought the body swap in Farscape was funny. The first thing he did was feel the boobs. I'd do the same.

[Kendalli]

Totally! Any movie that I heard had body swapping I would watch, then fantasize for months after what that would be like and what I would do.

[Richelle423]

Oh yes!!!!!! The movie. The Hot Chick comes to mind

[Jamie Lynn]

Absolutely!! If only........:daydreaming::battingeyelashes::c9:

[CarlaWestin]

I've seen a number of switch movies but, being the youngest, my mom would always take me to the movies with her.
I was fascinated with Goodbye Charlie. Maybe too much.

[DIANEF]

Not forgetting the Star Trek episode Turnabout Intruder, where loopy Dr Janice Lester swaps bodies with Kirk.

[Jillian Faith]

My favorite fantasy. I wish I could switch back and forth.

Shelby have you been reading my mind or great minds think a like...take your pick

[Krisi]

In one episode of "Family Guy", Perter and Lois go into one of Stewie's hidden rooms and it causes them to switch bodies. Peter plays with his boobs. Then, somehow they switch back.

[Ressie]

The thought first occurred to me (teenage years) before I ever saw it in a movie. Yes where is that magic genie or is it Jeanie?

I wanna see Goodby Charlie since it's one I never saw.

[DaisyLawrence]

Not forgetting the Star Trek episode Turnabout Intruder, where loopy Dr Janice Lester swaps bodies with Kirk.

Diane, a classic indeed. And lets not forget that we Brits have the upcoming new Dr Who with its first ever gender swap later this year. That is going to be a real funny first episode I assure you.

[Julia1984]

In Iain M Banks' sci fi books about The Culture (basically super evolved humans) the characters can change at will. It takes a while but its just normal and considered healthy. You're a bit odd if you don't, come to think of it.
Well worth a read, but not mainly for that.

[BrendaPDX]

There are obviously several of these movies, I remember "Switch" the most but also "Good Bye Charley" and of course Star Trek. The assumption is that we would swap with a beautiful woman, what about not so pretty? I smiled so many times reading these posts. Thank you! Brenda
