*ducks rotten fruit from the poll-haters*

I was going to stop with the last one. I really was. But this question is just so interesting (to me anyway)

Imagine that your brain has been transplanted into a body of the opposite gender.

What would happen, sexually speaking?

Would you switch teams in accordance with your new body?

Or would you still be attracted to the same gender you are attracted to now?

Myself, I'd become a gay man

The first thing I'd do is masturbate.

Go read "I Will Fear No Evil" by Robert Heinlein. Great discussion of this very subject.

hmmm well I have never been sexually attracted to another female so I think I'd be a gay man

And once I've recovered from this, the next order of business would be to figure out how to go to the bathroom without peeing all over my leg.

Thanks. My school's library doesn't have it, but I'll check the public library.

Granted, I have no idea what effect exchanging testosterone for estrogen would have on my brain, but it seems likely that I would remain attracted to women. In any case I would definitely be doing a lot of "personal exploration" and buying a lot of toys (maybe a Sybian).

My porn collection is 90%+ lesbian. Take a wild guess as to where I'd be going.
