History's most preeminent philosophers and the world's top scientists remain baffled by the complex interaction of mind, body and soul. The idea that the breakthrough could come on a porn forum has a very Hitchhiker's Guide feel to it.
How would a fully developed brain be able to rewire a lifetime of implanted memories? That sounds like it goes way beyond the limits of neural plasticity in adulthood, in addition it also sounds like a recipe for making someone schizophrenic.Again, that's kinda my point, putting yourself into a different brain would probably cause changes in both yourself and that brain.
Memories are connections between neurons, but not all of the brain is used for memories. So no, implanting memories into a different brain shouldn't automatically remove them nor change that brain to be identical to the previous one but would arguably rewire those connections that store the memories, and then the interaction between the changed and unchanged sections would begin and cause all sorts of confusion. Ergo, change of preferences.
Besides, we *are* working with a lot of fuzzy logic when discussing body swapping so you gotta have *some* leeway.
We're not talking about whether you *want* to keep your preferences, we're talking about what could induce a change in those preferences in the scope of the body-swapping games. Sure, it could be magic, or it could be explained by the brain chemistry changes. I'm just looking at possible explanations on why and how the latter might happen.If you're relying on "fuzzy logic", then you get back into the handwaving stuff, basically just relying on magic, in which case, why couldn't you just keep the preferences intact? Why bother with the change in preferences if its just magic changes?
For years I've been fascinated by the passion and depth of conversations that can happen on this porn forum. That feeling is somewhat tempered by the frequency of the less intelligent comments which makes it all more chaotic.History's most preeminent philosophers and the world's top scientists remain baffled by the complex interaction of mind, body and soul.

Brain chemistry alone wouldn't be enough, as it takes decades of brain chemistry and development to set our personality, just changing it randomly one day won't alter that (at least not enough to change preferences to any significant amount)We're not talking about whether you *want* to keep your preferences, we're talking about what could induce a change in those preferences in the scope of the body-swapping games.

Something we can both agree on*EDIT* And I just realised we're derailing the thread into a somewhat tangentially relevant discussion, so I'm stopping here, and letting it get back to suggesting games of the lesbian persuasion.
It's from stuff like this that I get the ideas for the history lessons in my gameFor years I've been fascinated by the passion and depth of conversations that can happen on this porn forum.

Right now I'm a little concerned we might be way off topic for this thread. But neither OP nor any mods have stopped us so...
At Your Feet which I'm only now realizing is a Winter Wolves game.Is there any good Yuri foot fetish game?
I have mixed feelings about Winter Wolves, they do pure lesbian content with good artwork, but "Summer In Trigue" left me triggered (since most of the potential love interests are horrible people)At Your Feet which I'm only now realizing is a Winter Wolves game.
I know this one. It's some kind of classic. Also Princess vs Slave have foot fetish but it's borning as fuck. Any other games you know?At Your Feet which I'm only now realizing is a Winter Wolves game.
I'm also going to take the chance to broadly recommend it regardless of if you're into that (I'm not) because its complete sincerity and self-awareness carry it regardless.

Okay, good, would hate to download a game and find out it doesn't have stuff I likeDoesn't have the tag, but so far its has a full lesbian route
Correct me if I am wrong, but it sounds less like your sexuality changed, and more like you were able to truly embrace your sexuality only after you were in the gender identity you felt was right. As you say, your dysphoria held you back from embracing your desires.Hey, I'm usually a lurker, but I saw there was a big discussion here about sexuality changes after transition and the like, so I thought I would offer some field research and my own personal experience.
Friends and many other trans women I asked say that for them it's not really that their sexuality changed. It's more so that they finally allowed themself to experience heavily repressed attractions that were buried deep under a lot of internalized homophobia/transphobia.
I think that in my own experience, my sexuality hasn't really changed either. I used to define myslef as a bisexual and now, for the most part, I tell people I'm a lesbian. Though I still find some men attractive, I think that the power dynamic between a man and a woman (especially a trans one) in a straight relationship is somewhat offputting to me.
It is also important to note that attraction is not only about what gender you want to sleep with but also how you want to be treated in a potential relationship. For example, I didn't date any women before my transition. I would always lose interest once they would show interest in me. I think it was because the moment I let myself imagine what that relationship could look like, the thought of being 'the man' in the relationship always left me with a feeling of dysphoria.
So yeah... to summarize, sexual and romantic attractions are complicated, deeply individual, and fluid things, and with the mental task that is accepting who you truly are, they are pretty liable to change/unveil even if just a little.
Exactly, I think that in most cases a change in attraction after transition is more psychological than an actual change in your brain chemistry. But it's also important to remember that transgender experiences are not monolithic. Everybody has their own unique relationships with their sexuality and their experiences might contradict and be completely different from anything I've told you.Correct me if I am wrong, but it sounds less like your sexuality changed, and more like you were able to truly embrace your sexuality only after you were in the gender identity you felt was right.
