Have you ever envisioned living life as the opposite sex? In that life, what would you do differently from what we observe and live with on a daily basis? What would you change if you were in that body? Family or no family? What would you do for recreation? Would you enjoy sports? Your love life, working habits and especially sexual attitudes would most likely change dramatically. Would you be more or less controlling? What kind of a leader would you be? As a female, if you became a male, would you be much more active sexually? Would you have many sexual partners or few? How would you live your life as the opposite sex? I suppose we each would have our own individual ideas, I certainly have mine. Many times I have made the statement to beautiful women, some young, some not so young, that were struggling with life: "If I had your looks, your body, your personality and smile, I would control the world, or at least my immediate world." I sometimes ask myself in that position blessed with what they have, which of course, would also include some reasonable degree of intelligence, what would I do differently with my life? The first on my list would be control. I would never, under any circumstance, let men control my little world, let alone my life. Loving them, fine, I would always be positive this man deserved my love, and that I knew him well enough and was positive he would be a success in whatever he chooses to do. No lazy bastards in my little life. If I choose to have sex with whomever, for whatever reason, fine. I will be controlling the mood, not them. I would own the world of men In my observation, many of these women have no concept of what they possess or how it could be used to benefit them. This female could live the good life, new cars, beautiful homes, and travel. Many will find my vision in this story disgusting, who cares I don't intend to please everyone. It's impossible. This is my vision and how I would handle life as the opposite sex, from very young to growing older. My experiences and personality have been projected to several of the characters in my story. Are some women simply born with a sexual desire that most men simply take for granted? Is it always a matter of self-esteem? Is it possible some females are just simply born with an abnormally strong desire for sex? It happens with many men and no one questions it. Is it a matter of genes or chromosomes or maybe a hormone imbalance? Are one in a million females born with an abnormally strong desire, or are there many? I don't know if anyone really knows. Most women who fall into this category, I'm certain, don't begin to understand. Certainly Amanda doesn't know where it comes from. As I move on with my story you will understand what it has done to her and how she lives and learns to control her little world with what God given gifts she was born with. What she chooses to do with her gifts will shock some and repulse others. Follow Amanda through her journey as she begins learning how to put her gifts to use to benefit her life all while dealing with high school, family and her budding sexuality. Perhaps she has been given the soul of a male. But, why - How? Come along for the ride in Growing Up Amanda. I guarantee many shocking surprises as you laugh and cry while you get a glimpse inside Amanda's world in this coming-of-age tale.
