So let's say you wake up tomorrow, but you suddenly discover your body is that of the opposite gender. What would you do and how would you react? Would you try to make the best of it, correct it with surgery, or would you even go so far as to commit suicide? Would you even be secretly happy about it?

This goes out to males and females alike. I'll post a poll so you can vote anonymously.

Sorry for the typo, option #3 should read:

"Make the best of it, but not be happy at all"

I would embrace it, but not be 100% happy long-term.

Part of me would embrace it, because as a female, I adore the male body and it's wonderful parts. I would love to be able to experience how a man works and feels. And well, I think having a penis to play with would be pretty much awesome!

Another part of me would hate losing my femininity. In my mind, I am 100% hetero woman, so I would be lost in a man's body and have no use for it, especially when it comes to sex with another person. I suppose it would be interesting to try out sex, but mentally I have zero attraction to other women and no biological desire to be gay.

I would probably finger myself for a good hour or two to see what that's all about. Then I'd probably get involved in some hot lesbian sex.

After the fun is over, I'd probably want to find a way back. Preferably before the period cycle starts.

I wouldn't be at all happy about it, but there wouldn't be much I could do about it other than accept it. I'd probably want to have sex soon and see what it is like to have sex as a man.

I only wish it were possible. It's interesting than those who've voted so far would generally accept it. Does this mean that perhaps gender isn't as important to us on an individual level as we may think?

It would be a fun novelty for maybe the first week, but then I'd want to switch back. I'd make the best of it though.
