What do you like/dislike about being a guy/girl?

[bobsgirl]

Thanks Yank -

Edit - hey Yank - your link is not working or I am more frustrated then I thought....

Sassy, not to worry--your frustration is not the cause of the faulty link. Yep, Yank gave you a dud link...

As to what I like about being a woman? Like Cate, I love the fact that women can get together and talk about their feelings and we all understand what we're talking about.

What I don't like is: In this society, if you don't fit the image of the "perfect female shape", whatever the hell that is, you are somehow less deserving of love and romance.

Just passing by and

There have been discussions here before about whether you'd rather be male or female. How about instead we all list the things we like and dislike about being our own sex?

saw this. The question intrigued me so much that I just had to answer it.

What I like most about being a woman? The fact that I can (and have had) children.

What I hate? The fact that in most cases I feel more like a guy inside.(except for the all important sex drive thing that everyone else mentioned.)

OK..leaving now...

Well I'm sure he did not mean to give me a dud link....did ya Yank? Or do I have to steal the trout again?

Sorry...it's that aging memory thing (forgot to actually insert the link ). The link works now, though I know you already know how to get there.

48-72 hours?

Good grief, man, enjoy it! Try 12-24 hours!

Every 12-24 hours? Good grief what the hell is wrong with me?!? I had the urge to cum three times while just pressing the "quote" icon.

As a woman you kinda have to worry about nearly every penis out there. As a guy you only have to worry about one penis out there.

Being a guy is ok. I've often commented that after this life I'd like to come back as a really hot, really wealthy lesbian. That would be the life.

Great question for pondering.

As of my age today, there are only two things about being female I don't groove on:

1) The fact that there aren't as many single men around my age as there were when I was younger. Not much more to be said than that. It just means I have to look at little bit harder.

2) The fact of my gender makes me a more desirable job candidate in my future profession, as well as consideration for grad school. I really, really hate that by the mere roll of the conceptual dice I have an edge over a male who's equally as qualified. I don't want my gender to have a damn thing to do with anything, especially since my areas of specialty are very male-dominated in the first place. "Ooooh, a metaphysics geek in a skirt!! ::drool::" Bah! What the hell does being a woman have to do with philosophy of time? Grrr...
</rant>

Other than that, I'm very comfortable in my own skin. Periods don't bother me, although cramps suck if I've been drinking too much coffee. Maybe I'll change my mind when menopause hits. :shrug:


That all said, it would be kinda fun to know what a sudden boner feels like.

Women don't worship the almighty penis. Hell we need tham a lot more than they need us. I mean think about it, two women can get together, trap on a latex cock and get the same sort of pleasure without us involved. There's probably a lot more intimacy in general, the woman with the dick knows exactly what the other woman likes, and the cuddling afterwards is probably a lot better too. Two guys can't get together and just strap on a fake pussy. Even if you could, would you really want to be on top pounding away and look down to see your buddy Fred looking up at you like "yeah buddy, that's YOUR pussy!"



WE'VE GOT THE ALMIGHTY PENIS!

Not true! As a straight woman I have to disagree with you here because from an early age I have loved men and quite often in my adult years have worshipped at the alter of the penis. Love it and it's my favorite thing about being a female. I can get alot closer to it than you men can. Score!

So please don't think that we women don't need you. We do!

The only thing I don't like about being a female is the period thing.

 

[iansearchof]

There have been several comments from women about the unfairness of the "media" image of women. Nobody seems to notice that there are some pretty outrageous stereotypes of the appropriate male image. It is presumed that somehow we either don't notice them or don't care. That is nonsense.

As for the questions, having no real option, I'm reasonably well satisfied. Howver, I'd like to experience oral sex and intercourse from the other side and one or two of those mind blowing orgasms........

(It has been suggested that "other side" was ambiguous, so, for other side read distaff side.)

What I like about being a man: Having a cock... You always have your favorite toy right there with you.

What I dislike about being a man: Nothing at the moment... I'm getting a lot of use out of my favorite toy.

See I feel the same way. I guess the best thing about being a guy is being able to worship at the altar of the vagina. In fact, I think ought to make an offering tonight!

We were too poor to afford toys, so my parents cut the pockets out of my pants!
(Yes, it is awfully hoary, but still amuses me......like other.....things........)

Funny question...

Hm, I really don't know anything that I really dislike about being male. But since I think in personalty, I'm neither male nor female, that's probably not that surprising.
Male and female bodies offer different options for sexual intercourse, but (beeing male ) I think that these level each other out.

But I prefer and androgynic look at myself and this beard is not helping! Having to shave each morning and having a slight shade the evening again, is something I could really live without.

Would be really cool if humans had a sexuality like slugs, but I think I'm one of the really few, who think that...

That could be arranged.

 

[Tazzod]

What do you like/dislike about being a guy/girl?

The fact that men can cum easily.. at a drop of a hat.

Whereas, I need to be really turned on. And the more turned on the better....
As opposed to grapping my cock and going for it.
If I do that with my pussy without stimuli.... then there are just the contractions ... and no orgasm :-(

 

[onlyerics]

I love to be able to talk with other women - we understand each other's stuff.

What Miss Cate said.

Don't get me wrong. E is my best friend and I tell him everything. But sharing and relating with females (whether she's my mom, sister, best friend, co-worker, or even the female friends I met here at the Lit) is wonderful.

What I don't like about being a woman? Hmmm...I would have to say...the mood swings when I'm on my period. I get irritated so easily, and then the following week, I'd wonder why was I made such a fuss about it.

 

[HandFan]

What I like about being a woman....

Having breasts is great! It's fun to have something at your disposal that can make a man completely lose his train of thought when he sees you bouncing by with them. I revel in the power of my boobs! Also, having my special bits tucked safely away sure is an advantage that I really appreciate.

It is really nice to know that if I broke out into tears in public, that no one would be really surprised and that I would probably get sympathy from someone near by...I'm sorry that men don't have such a luxury in our society.

I will say this, even though it is sort of a awful thing to do...as a woman if you don't want deal with some of the more complicated social issues, like getting hit on by a man you are not interested in, or not wanting to take responsiblity for your actions, you can diffuse the problem by acting really stupid, then people act like, "Oh yeah, she just some dumb girl.", and you can get away with it most of the time.....ladies I know you know what I'm talking about. If a man did the same thing people wouldn't pat him on the head so easy about his mistakes, people just don't buy this act as easily from men, although I've known a few who are good at it. I know it's bad to use a bad stero-type to our advantage, especially when we are always trying to disprove it, but I would dare any woman here to say that they have not played ,"dumb girl", at least once to either get something that they wanted or to get out of something. It's not something that I like to do, but it has come in very useful at least once or twice in my life.

And how could I leave out the wonderful array of sex toys that us ladies get to play with! I don't feel the least bit guilty that boys do not get such a varied selection at their disposal as well. Consider it, "Even Steven", for the fact that we have to be pregnant and deal with a vagina that likes to fight with us at least once a month whether we are prepaired for the battle or not.

Oh yeah, the shaving... I could go without it too, but imagine we had to shave like woman had their period. One week in the month our facial hair grows the amount it would have grown in the whole past weeks, then you have to cut it everyday back to normal.

I think this would be great, but this one week when the beard grows would be a hell of a week.

The sexuality of slugs... I'm more the "why arent't we all synchronous hermaphrodites"... now that would be cool... ok, but on the other side... maybe not

Truth be told I think that I as a male human only think about more toys in one body

 

[iansearchof]

your parents were very resourceful.

maybe you can show me how you amused yourself sometime.

My god yes!!! Especially if you show me those "silky panty thingys."

My husband said once that he wished he could have breasts and a pussy for one hour just to see what they feel like, and I told him I'd like to have a cock for 2 minutes to show him.

Now that's funny!

Believe me, it would be the most enjoyable 2 minutes of your life.
