I would not want to alter my sex to be in a female body. One important reason is I am too lazy to be a woman. In my world, women have many more expectations than I have for grooming (shaving legs, make-up, nails, uncomfortable shoes, etc.) for social graces, and for incredible responsibilities like birthing children. [Recognizing that many men also opt for such grooming styles, there are none of these expectations on me.] I am just a guy enjoying, rather au natural, my body.
I do want to know what my lover's experiences through her -- to be excited by watching her, listening to her, and learning what thrills her. I want to be an extension of her, fulfilling her needs as I anticipate them or as she presents them to me.
I am comfortable with the feminine and masculine, the yin and yang, within me. I enjoy being able to arrange flowers or lumber with equal comfort and equal pride. It's a given that my body is not the most attractive, but it is mine, serves me well, and brings me pleasure.
Thanks, I do not want to trade my gender, even for a few hours.
