The opposite sex for a week

[Nouw]

I'd explore my body and seduce guys. And have the honor of being strongest female!

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

Stand in front of a mirror the whole time and touch myself. Standard answer.
Then go lesbian.

 

[PrototypeC]

A week as a girl nobody will know what happened to her... I would make
SO
MUCH
PORN
and get the nice, fat checks sent to my 'boyfriend', hehehe. Easy money, no consequences. Oh wait, STIs... oh bugger.

A TRUE EXPERIMENT WOULD REQUIRE RANDOM ASSIGNMENT! THIS WOULD BE A CASE STUDY!

:sych Nerd, out::

SOMEONE IS A PSYCHOLOGY UNDERGRAD (or something like that).

The fact that "experiment" has a meaning as a technical term in the context of psychology does not mean that uses of "experiment" in other contexts should conform to that meaning. This is why it is almost universally a bad and confusing idea to use already-coined words as technical terms. Why nine out of ten theory builders continue to appropriate everyday words for their technical terms I will never know. Also, this could still be a psych experiment, it would just be a very, very bad one.

Im really not that much of a hardass. Being overly technical is just kinda funny.

Also, I'm pretty sure that in regards to the term "Experiment", it was a technical term that filtered into everyday usage.

I likewise enjoy being overly critical of linguistic abuse (as in actual linguistic abuse, not stupid grammar nazi nonsense).

As for "experiment", you are not only wrong by a pretty substantial margin of centuries (if by psychology we mean modern psychology where the term acquired its precise technical usage), you are also coming dangerously close to the etymological fallacy (Wikipedia that shit).

Experiment has been a technical term for a lot longer then the field of Psychology. However, I need to point out that, specifically, you said that you wanted to make it a "True Experiment". So wikipedia THIS shit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_experiment

From that page:

"The signifying characteristic of a true experiment is that it randomly allocates the subjects in order to neutralize the potential for experimenter bias"

 

[Hashime]

I would not have fun, Imagine if your female body's period was during that week.

 

[Kawatoo]

Nah to be totally honest.....Be a Lesbian....YOU WERE ALL THINKING IT!!!

STOP MAKING FUN OF ME!

It's still a technical term. The fact that you can cite a stub on Wikipedia only serves to reinforce that truth. And it may very well have been a technical term long before psychology, but it very certainly had a rather different meaning when it was introduced roughly in the 14th century. Not that that matters.

Either way, "true experiment" has plenty of uses outside of psychology. "Being the opposite sex for a week would be a true experiment" makes perfect sense outside of a laboratory context and you'd find very few people who would disagree. My point wasn't that there isn't a technical use, only that the technical use isn't somehow "more right" than other common uses. Hence correcting someone doesn't make sense outside of that particular context.

 

[Something Amyss]

Do I get to keep some of my talents from when I was male? If so, I'd like to record myself singing, as I've always preferred female singing voices to male ones..

Sing duets with yourself. Awesome.

If they could do it for a week, I'd opt for permanence. XD

 

[wizzerd229]

fuck a dude, because im secretly bi, but cant fucking tell my friends cuz i live in the deep south
EDIT: FUCK YOU PENIS!

 

[thehorror2]

Not much would change. I'm thin enough that a sex change wouldn't change my body shape much. What little facial hair I can grow would be gone, which would be nice, honestly. I'd be more flexible, which would help with my career as a dancer. (I'm starting to think that being a woman would be more beneficial for me overall. Only the fact that I'd be a nerdy girl in a room full of nerdy, antisocial guys would be a fate worse than death.)

 

[Spectre4802]

Hmm.

Apart from the obvious and inevitable... experimentation, probably not much else apart from a standard sort of week.

Oh! I might screw with some heads in MW2 by turning on voice chat.

 

[Darzen]

Have an awkward conversation with my girlfriend explaining my newly grown chesticles and explaining the benefits of lesbianism

 

[Mr Godfrey]

I'd be a total whore.

 

[Mimssy]

Sex up a bunch of women then pee my name on some surface. Maybe walk around in a trench coat and flash people. I think I'd get bored pretty quickly. I have no desire to masturbate myself into a comma like some people...

 

[Kris015]

Uhm, nothing much. My girlfriend would be a bit confused.

... or would she, i mean she would be brainwashed into thinking nothing ever changed! THINK ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES!

 

[Jonluw]

Yup, the same as everyone else. And then... uhhmm let's see... What else is there to do? I mean, there's not that much of a difference between men and women other than the physiological ones.

I guess I'd just spend the week with my hand down my pants. Probably visit a sex-toy shop at some point. I can't think of anything else. Damn my miserable, perverted teenage mind.

Also: Imagine how much it would suck if, after being turned, it turns out you're due to have your period that week.

Edit: Oh, right, I forgot: I'd find out whether I will get turned on by myself. Like, in the mirror.

 

[00slash00]

well my friends all call me a lesbian (im a guy, just so theres no confusion). and i can relate and identify with womyn better than i can with men. so honestly, i dont think it would be much different. i would still dress the same, still act the same, still go off on the same feminist rants that make my friends roll their eyes. i think it would give me better perspective about what im fighting against though. as a man i can talk to people and research all i want, but i dont imagine theres any way to fully understand the grasp or patriarchy or what womyn go through on a daily basis, unless you experience it firsthand

 

[JaredXE]

Same as most everyone above me.....not leave my room EVER. Well, MAYBE to go to the local lesbian bar, or a sorority.

Or cheer camp.

 

[boyvirgo666]

id take control of the honorary giant robot that anime says i get when that happens

 

[Cazza]

See how much free stuff I can score off men. Really I want to know.
