Would you be able to turn back after a time or is it permanent?

Would I want the experience? Sure. Would I actually try it? Hell no. It's confusing enough being a woman, then to suddenly become a dude? I've had my fill of shit, thanks but no thanks.

Huh...interesting how the girl and guy answers are reversed. I guess people just like being male in general?

Looks like someone wants this to become a reality *coughlambchopsilcough*

I chose "I'm a guy, yes".

Why: Well curiosity and I have never been manly so I think It would probably be more fitting if I was female. At least becoming one would let me know if I was right or not.

What would I do: I'm not really sure. I would probably check out my new equipment and dress up in different outfits or something. Mostly just experience how the other half lives.

Being a guy looks more popular (If you believe what the poll gives now).
Maybe it has something to do with the monthly problem that girls have.

I think it'd be fun to see what it's like, so yeah, out of curiosity I probably would XD

Never. Not even for a few minutes. I'm perfectly happy with the gender I was born into. Obviously, I'm fine with my originally having being born as a guy, but to become male after being female first (or vice versa)? No way. I can see why some people might consider it a thrilling (and enlightening?) experience - and I like unusual adventures as much as the next person - but that kind of adventure can remain firmly in fictionland as far as I'm concerned.

Tl; dr: I am a girl. I choose 'no.'

i chose 'I'm a girl, yes'

well, i'm pretty curious what my looks as guy is so i chose that. besides that, i'm constantly told that i'm not girly at all, becoz of my habits that are similar to guys (gaming, gore things, insensitive, mystery, actions, never bothered with make up, etc). hell, i'm also constantly mistaken as a guy in online forums, people are always shocked when i say that i'm a girl. though fortunately, it never happens in the real life.
if it's temporary i think it'll be fine, but if it's permanent.......it'll cause problems. as far i know, i like guys and i don't intend to change my preference. if i'm a guy, i'll be a gay one. and that's a huge problem.

As a transgender individual I find myself highly uncertain of how exactly I should vote, if any of the options even fit.

by gender swap do you mean only dressing up as the opposite sex or actual physical swapping?

I'm a guy and NO. I like girls, but not so much that I'd want to be one, even temporarily. There could only be for a few reasons for wanting something like that, like if you're gay or desperately want to grope some tits. Any guy who says they'd do it purely for the experience just wants to feel up a woman's body, the lying, desperate bastards. Masturbating would just be weird and I probably wouldn't do it... ok, maybe a finger. And I'd never get laid. As a man in a woman's body, I wouldn't want anything inside me... aside from a finger or two. Then menstruating... fuck that.
The only thing worth while that I can think of would be to pose naked for money (in magazines, not titty bars). If it were to happen to me, that's all I'd do. That and hide from prying eyes. Being a lesbian seems bland (sorry lesbians). Only so much can be done and none of it interests me.

"I'm a girl, yes"

I've always wondered how is it like to be friends and make friends without all sorts of backstabbing, spreading of malicious rumors and bullying/snubbing. Apparently. Since that was what one of my guy friends pointed out to me while we were discussing the differences between how different genders view/treat their friendships.

Secondly... Females have to walk in heels/pretty looking shoes that kills our toes and have to up early just to put on make-up and do our hair... It'll be nice to just not do these sort of things for once, and just walk out in comfortable clothes and shoes.

Only problem I can foresee is that if I turn into a guy...Which gender would I like??

i want to change into a guy every time my time of the month is near so i dont have to deal with that shitty pain. and being a guy seems awesome, i dont have to shave to wear shorts and nobody will bat an eyelid. and of course i would love to travel around with just a backpack and a bike without fearing for my safety.

i hear period sucks lol

I'm a girl and yes. It would be a worthwhile experience. Though I'm sure I want all the awkward situations that come from it.

More than that, I'm amused how most girls would want to do it but most guys wouldn't! If I was a psychology/sociology major, I could probably write a paper on that.

"I'm a girl, yes" If its reversible.

I wouldn't mind seeing how the other half lives. My job would probably be easier too. But I don't know what I'd honk if I didn't know what was going on. Or if it was permanent.

As to why there are more male->females in manga... More mangaka are male. It's easier for them to imagine.

I'm a guy, yes.

I always wondered what being female is like and being a girly guy anyway (personality, not looks) it would kind of suit me I guess lol

I guess most guys vote no because they fear of losing their "masculinity"

Well I'm a guy, and yes I would like to experience gender-swap. But one condition, I must become genuine female. If I won't be able to have kids there is no point...

And this is optional but would be really nice to have. Marry a prince and become a princess...

No, I'm happy being a male.
Maybe next life...

I'd like to try it for the experience. The same as trying zero-g or playing in a perfectly simulated virtual world, though true gender bender does look impossible (brains and memories don't work as in Kaiba after all). It's always interesting to see other points of view. Permanent? If you can go one direction, you can also go the other, so I assume it would be temporal always or could depend of your will. I'm a guy and I don't have a problem with it, but trying the other side would be interesting and enriching in any case.

"I'm a guy, yes"

Although becoming permanently female would kind of bother me, but I would get over it. Just to experience how things "feel" would be something I wouldn't forget. Then I could also empathize with women more since you would know the feeling of having breast and... other things. I probably wouldn't change that much however, probably just be a female version of myself.

yes, for a day at least. for unholly dirty reasons. If you know what I mean. also, I want to get a kick in the balls, so then when I happen to give a birth to something, I can at last solve the "what hurts more" argument.

Only if it is reversible (as in at will) though taking attactiveness into account, would the gender swap be roughly at the same level of attactiveness as their original gender or at a higher/lower level as depicted in Manga/Anime?

guy here,

shorter
weaker
periods
everyone staring at my ass/boobs all day long
having to spend 1 hour to get ready
sitting down to pee

am I missing anything else?

love you ladies, but no tks

Sure, if I made a convincing young woman.

Short answer yes.

Long answer...
Well, as it seems I would change back (according to the third comment I believe?) it's a lower risk, so consider risk vs reward I deemed it would be worth it. I think I would probably enjoy it at least 2/3 of the month.. >.>;; Hopefully..

But yes, allow for me to explain by "reward.." First off, I've always been a curious person. I love getting to know people, learning about people, understanding different point of views, having my opinions changed and just learning what someone may think and being able to think as another person who is different from myself.

Also, besides that side of myself, my personality also shares qualities of a massive pervert, and a sadist, and many other things which I wishn't (yes, yes, I know.. It should be "wish not" but I like how it sounds, so please excuse my literary license. >.>) share publicly.

As for looks and other such things, I can see various problems which would arise regardless of how I looked so as long as I wasn't horribly deformed I guess I'd learn to deal. Dx And if I was, I'd hope I had the mental strength to get through that too.. I'm rather weak spirited. <.<;

P.S. I'm a guy.. I think. *Checks* Yep, physically a guy. At times (without intending so) I can be some what feminine though. >.<;

I'm a guy and yes

But only if I can change back! I love being a guy and I'd only want to be a girl for a short time.

And for all the guys who are like, "only desperate or gay guys would be to turn into girls"

It's called lesbian sex. The only thing better than me being with a girl is me being with a girl as a girl (at least, I'd want to try it once if I could.)

Interesting that most guys wouldn't want to change but a vast majority of girls would. Does it suck being a girl or is it just for the experience? I can't speak from experience but (periods and stuff excluded) it doesn't seem bad at all!

Looking at the poll, while us guys are almost split on the subject, twice as many girls want to figure out what it means to be a manly man.

The results to this poll seemed weird, then I realized this is a manga site. Then I realized probably half of the yes guys are thinking dirty thoughts

I'm female and I'm gay, I find the male body repulsive so I would be horrified if I ever found myself to be a male. Sorry guys out there, I don't mean to be rude.

So far the results for this poll are kind of scary it seems a lot of girls want to experience it but not all guys then again... using % may not give a real number as somehow it seems like we have more girls than guys.

51.2% girls 48.8% guys

What surprises me most is that there are so many girls in this website.

Completely offtopic but I've heard that women feel the same pain as men who get kicked in the balls when they get hit in the ovaries. So it doesn't necessarily have to be labor for comparison xD

I am less sexist and more anti-human. It was also a joke, and also true enough and you know it

What happens when I'm on a horrible sleep cycle.

For this new poll, I am a girl and yes I'd like to have a gender bender EXPERIENCE. not a lifetime thing but an experience in which I know will end at some point b/c in swapping genders, I can experience the different lifestyle of a man in society.

Each gender is restricted in some way b/c of society's cultural constructions of gender (what is feminine, what is masculine) so it'd be interesting to see first hand at what the other sex has to offer--the hardships, the opportunities, etc.

This is based on a more analytic approach i suppose

I am a female and yes, I would only if it was a temporary experience and not permanent. I have gender disorders as it is but am more gender fluid, so I could never choose to stay as just one gender. The only reason I choose to stay female is because it's what I've grown accustomed to and can't see it happening.

It'd be so interesting! I'd definitely do it! I wonder if the response is also due to social conditioning in that's it's seen as more okay for girls to appropriate traditionally masculine behavior than it is for guys? Wearing skirts vs pants, make-up vs football, menswear trend, etc. I think it'd be interesting to try, but I'm pretty happy I was born a girl. While there is a chance I'd be better adjusted/more attractive, the line between introversion and creepiness is pretty thin, it's quite likely I'd be closer to the latter as a guy.
