Mind, the critter in question there is a Solara, one of the more dangerous forms of Fae, I went into more detail on this way back when.

To be fair, I think the shorter time frame for the switch probably has a lot to do with that, as might the sample we provide.

I saw this posed on some website as a question for just the women ie what would you do if you were a man for a day? I thought it was pretty vanilla that most of the answers were: pee standing up. Woo-hoo fun /sarcasm.

In my first martial arts school, the best fighter was a girl. I always wanted to spar with her because sparring with the best makes you better faster. I was never insulted, rather, challenged.
A video store I worked was frequented by a female professional body builder, and after knowing her a while, she decided to let me know what a girlie-man I was & defeat me (all too easily) at arm wrestling. I hit the home gym in a big way, and just two months later I beat her. She congratulated me.
A guy that gets insulted loses his already damaged calm. Go ahead, get insulted & angry & full of adrenaline while I scientifically disassemble your ligaments, hah hahaha!!

Yes, I saw some of those too, and also thought they were rather vanilla. It's really just a different form of trying out the equipment isn't it?

But still. The physical organs seem to be the difference that a lot of people focus on. Doesn't that kind of say something?

Be a powerful woman, an outspoken woman and experience the ferocity of the hatred directed at you. Now that would be an interesting experience for some of you men.

I had this car (Peugeot 206) in Need For Speed 2: Underground - Not only was it kind of cute in form, it was pink, like cotton candy pink, like barbie pink, claw-your-eyes-out pink and loaded with glitter and cutesy decals and it just abso-friggin-lutelty screamed someones-kid-sister to the very heavens.

Oh, did I mention I was really, REALLY good at NFS2U ?

And yeah, I didn't go all into equipment testing cause of the squick factor it'd have on some people, but if you were to say, clone off a second me of the opposite sex, it'd be as predictable as gravity that they'd immediately charge right at each other and engage in some violence followed by lots of tantric freaky, like law of nature reliable.
