Anyway.... To answer the OP's question: Yes, I would switch genders for a day. Heck, I'd do it for a week, or even a month. Hell, maybe even for a year. (What's one year out of a lifetime of, say, 70 years?) I would want enough time to get the
full experience. (I'm definite I'd want to go back to being male, though. I really like being male. And I really
love women.)
This reminds me of a short sci-fi story, "Options", written by John Varley. (Never heard of him? Well, I think most of you TFP'ers would really dig reading his "mind expanding" science fiction.) In the story, a liberal mother of two in the far future undergoes a sex change, just to see what it's like. (In the far future, it's a quick and painless operation, and it's just as easily reversible.) Her children adapt fairly well to her change into a man's body, but her conservative husband does not. At night, they lie side-by-side in bed, and the wife wants the husband to hold her (him), and for them to even make love, but the husband simply can't bring himself to even touch her (him). It's a very interesting story, albeit a little sad.
BTW: You can read some of the best of Varley's short science-fiction in this collection...
