Random conversation with OH.

I'm a female and would love to experience what it feels to climax during sex as a male and what it feels like inside a woman.

WhT would you love to experience or do as the opposite sex?

Good news! All of this is possible now that we have miraculously discovered that sex isn't real but merely a social construct.

I'm ready for my penis now. Grin

To those of you saying safety on the streets, men are more likely to be attacked than women, and the difference is increased when you look at attacks by strangers. From the ONS:

stranger violence showed the largest difference in victimisation between men and women (1.2% compared with 0.4% respectively)

Also, men are more likely to be victims of homicide.

It's worth remembering that it's not as simple as "men are safe, women are not".

I have a mild bladder issue so the versatility of peeing would be amazing. (Within the realms of societal decency of course).

Ohsugarhoneyicetea · 31/05/2021 11:21

Benevolently smiling while I completely support trans men in my toilets, prisons and sport leagues, knowing it means absolutely fuck all to me or anyone else of my sex.

sailmeaway · 31/05/2021 11:24

Not having the dads at football talk over me like I'm not standing right there, given that I'm one of the actual coaches and not some armchair wannabe expert/pundit/manager...

TaraR2020 · 31/05/2021 12:02

Walking home at night alone

Laiste · 31/05/2021 12:04

The (apparent) complete inability to open/close a pair of curtains neatly.

OverByYer · 31/05/2021 12:09

OP apologies when you started the thread last night I thought you were a hairy handed trucker retuning from the pub looking for some dirty talk.

So I would love to be able to choose a running route that I can go on my own without having to consider if it’s safe, especially a trail route through the woods and countryside.
To be able to pee wherever and whenever you need to.
To not wear a bra or have periods.
To be able to just turn up at holidays / events because your OH has sorted all the life admin out.
To get promoted because you play rugby/ golf/ brown nose the bosses.

58StarlightLady Understanding how you can have something attached to you that grows in size and feels nice when it does!

Surely it would feel the same as the female erectile tissue that swells when you're sexually aroused. The only difference would be that you can see it swell because it's on the outside.

Getting ready for a night out. Shower ,shave , dressed. All done.

Patapouf · 31/05/2021 14:31

Not being afraid walking home, especially in the dark.
Being able to go to the gym without creeps hitting on me
Being able to bullshit my way into a senior job role I am in now way qualified for
Being spoken to without condescension when buying a car

shumway · 31/05/2021 14:38

Not being judged for being hairy.

Clarice99 · 31/05/2021 14:38

Male privilege

Male salary

To not be stared at in the breast region

To be able to safely go out for a walk at any time

To not be followed by other random men

To not be asked by a colleague if I was up for a shag

To sit idly doing nothing and not notice that things need to be put away, that the toilet needs cleaning or the washing needs to be taken out of the machine - etc etc etc

To ask ' what's for dinner' and know someone will sort this out for me

IAmADoorbell · 31/05/2021 14:40

A quick shower for me is 15-20 minutes, that’s as quick as I can wash and condition my hair and shave everything I need to.

You don't need to do any of those things tbh

DinosaurFineosaur · 31/05/2021 14:48

I want to attend a board meeting at work and present information on my area of responsibility while people listen and ask intelligent questions, not talk over me, ask me if I am sure about my information and then proceed to tell me how to do my job. If I am warning people about an upcoming problem, I would love to be taken seriously and not told that I'm being hysterical or overly defensive about the issue.

Honestly, I've seen my male counterparts give almost word for word the same presentations and receive very different reactions so I can only conclude it is the male body that makes a difference.

Oh for a day in the workplace as a man.

FiveGs · 31/05/2021 14:55

Taking my top off and walking around topless when it's hot instead of bras and boob sweat. How freeing that must feel.

Being able to put on t-shirt and shorts or whatever to go and exercise, job done. No wrestling with sports bras and uncomfortable skin tight lycra (well, perhaps that's just me).

Chanjer · 31/05/2021 15:02

Can't really think of anything tbh

Arbadacarba · 31/05/2021 15:06

Being able to pee really easily in awkward situations - e.g. into a bottle during a 5 hour traffic jam. I know you can get 'she wee' gadgets but just being able to direct your pee where you need must be fantastic.

Totally agree with this. Male dominated career and frequently by mid-20s I'd be the only woman in the room of 10-15 people. And say something important and they'd all ignore it then a male colleague - often more junior - would repeat what I'd said a couple of minutes later and everyone would fawn about how insightful it was. Many workplaces are still absolutely toxic to women - particularly if you are doing well - and it goes largely not just unchallenged but unnoticed. The young male graduates also seemed to especially hate being managed by a woman. I really hope it changes before my daughter grows up and enters the workplace.
MagentaDragon · 31/05/2021 23:32

Oh yeah, and to be able to pretend you're a great Dad because you're paying 10% of the cost of raising the kids. In a good month where you actually pay at all. Well done, you hero. 👋👋👋

Blue4YOU · 31/05/2021 23:42

I’d fucking love to persuade everyone I was wonderful by getting my other half to do EVERYTHING for my disabled DC, including their EHCP, take them to all the hideous hospitals etc m, not be sexually assaulted by her paediatric consultant and if I were, believed automatically because I’m a man. Being applauded by my parents for cooking and taking out the bins and THAT’s it apart from my 15 hours work.
Ok I’m bitter.
A funny answer would be to know how to get utterly pissed and people applaud me for it rather than think I’m pathetic (in the past).
No-one looking at my boobs.
Being able to scratch my parts in public if they get itchy (they do in the heat).
People not thinking I’m “anxious” (I’m the toughest person I know).
Not being the butt of jokes from having big muscles (from lugging DC around).
No fucking periods.
The ability to fall asleep in ten seconds

SkintSingleMother · 31/05/2021 23:46

Entitlement, constant validation, hero worship for performing unremarkable tasks, freedom, money, power, space, "ageing well", never being too fat/old/stroppy.

DentonsFringeArnottsWaistcoat · 31/05/2021 23:47

Not having to shoulder the fucking Mental Load, All.The.Fucking.Time.

Cattenberg · 31/05/2021 23:57

I’d like a deep voice that commands attention when I speak. If I raise my voice a little to emphasise a point, I will come across as passionate and authoritative, not excitable and shrill.

I’d like to go swimming without first removing most of my body hair. I know it’s not compulsory, but it feels like it.

BeeCool · 01/06/2021 00:07

To have the sudden, unassailable confidence that my opinion is the Right Opinion.

What would you love to experience as the opposite sex?
