Gender Swap - best way to present the change

[PeggyNPumps]

I have a series of great ideas for a couple that swaps genders willingly. I just am not sure how to introduce the change. Should it be drugs? magic? accidental?

I'm just lost for an excellent way to introduce the change and have it occur. The change would be permanent. He desires to be a trophy wife and she desires to be male, in control and possibly a physician or surgeon.

Please share some ideas with me so i can get this started.

Thanks in advance, Peggy

Ah the mind wanders, the creative juices flow - time to pull on the tinfoil helmet once again... A university has a grant with DARPA (which is partially underwritten by the CIA) for experimentation on human consciousness. Your couple applies after seeing an advert - "...virtual environment where one may explore the 'other half' of humanity." Right up their alley! They contact the university and are assured this is a virtual simulation only. Intrigued, they sign up.

After signing NDA's and all the usual hold harmless papers associated with human experimentation - essentially "If things go bad don't blame us!" - the couple is led into lower levels of some nondescript university building and into the laboratory. They're led into the 'virtual reality chambers' and BZZZZZ.... APP!! Presto chango they enter a virtual realm whereby their consciousness inhabits the body of their spouse.

Except - and you know each of them are going to start out by masturbating (just testing the equipment don't you know) - it's not virtual. Oh and, well. Uhm... they haven't quite figured out how to reverse the process and gosh we're not sure how this happens but you did sign those waivers and... Here's that hundred bucks we promised, have a nice day.

Mind melt during sex.

They merged so fully, they returned to wrong bodies after their spiritual bodies orgasmed together.

They may try, but will never achieve ecstasy of that level ever again.

Is it just a gender swap? Or a complete mind/body swap?

If it's the former, you might try a surgical approach, where their genitals are transplanted onto the other person. Either by some unlicensed clinic they find on the dark web, or maybe by some mad scientist in a remote castle. Sort of like the movie Face Off, only it's Dick/Balls Off and Pussy/Boobs Off.

If it's the latter, there are a variety of techniques used in stories such as "Freaky Friday," usually based on some sort of magic. Whip up a fairy godmother, or a gypsy fortuneteller, or an ancient Chinese herbalist, or whatever fits your scenario.

I have one WIP that involves body swap using an ancient relic and reciting an incantation. The change is one way, but you can swap with a different person later (A-B swap, B (A in B's body) can then swap with C. A would end up in C's body).

Even though the swaps are one-way, there is a way for everyone to get back to their own bodies.

I once had an idea of a couple being mean to an older gypsy woman who in return curses them to swap their bodies. The only way to lift this curse: have a colossal orgasm together. From there you can go two ways: one, the situation allows them to better understand each other and thus leads to better sex; two, they engage in more and more kinky stuff in hope to finally peak stronger than they imagine was possible (or both: they try the later only to realuze the former is the way).

I like it more as an alien abduction experiment, but with a random male and female. I like that the couple has to find each other and decide how to work things out or live apart in their new lives

That could be interesting. Maybe the guy-in-girl's-body decides that he might like being a girl, so he decides to live her life, stay in her apartment, fuck her boyfriend, go to her job, etc. But the girl-in-guy's-body doesn't want to give her life up, and figures she can live it just as well in a man's body as in a woman's. So basically, they are competing for the same life.

Interestingly, I envisioned it almost the exact opposite way around. They take those two random people from different places and swap, and they get to see each other, but not much more. Then they drop them off where the bodies belonged.

He had land or at least a house and quite a life, but the girl in his body gets a handle of it all rather fast, even including his work despite being an impostor (may be interesting discussion do skills like technical drawing belong with body or mind, or partially to both, and could be rediscovered relatively easily).

She... for whatever reason the guy in her body doesn't find her life too great, and is fucking his way home across the world with a dream to at very least marry his old body if not figure a way to swap back. Yes, that probably makes him a narcissist.

Sounds like you're looking for a "McGuffin."

A McGuffin is something which isn't critical to the plot at all, and only exists for the purpose of initiating or advancing it. Basically it's a made-up reason for the plot to happen. Think of The Maltese Falcon for example: The falcon itself is basically irrelevant to the plot. It could have been a Burmese Jackelope. It could have been a Swiss Primrose. It could have been a key, or an encrypted hard drive, or Madonna's pap smear.

My point is, it barely matters! Drugs? Magic? Accidental? Pick whatever would be your favorite to write! The "how and why" doesn't seem to be the point of the story, right?

Kinky college student computer geeks are working on erotic virtual reality, coming up with better, more high resolution ways to make immersive porn by recording couples encephlograms while having sex.

They get access to new experimental quantum equipment at a university that makes the virtual experience more realistic than they ever imagined.

Out of curiosity they switch the playback between the partners and replay an amazing session where they had simultaneous mind-blowing orgasms…

When they come down, all sweaty and tired they think they’re still in the simulation, but no…

I thought about something like this for an Amorous Goods story.

They meet through some kind of ad. Personals, but not necessarily a dating type ad or website. Maybe some sort of counseling site. People having problems looking for someone to talk to. A series of phone calls as they delve into the minds of each other. One call they're both on hard wired phones, maybe in their offices. A storm develops. Lighting strikes. Instead of being electrocuted, they're electrically swapped.
