Swedish researchers, speaking at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting, said they know how to induce "body-swap illusion," where they can get you to touch someone else's body, only it would feel like someone else is touching you. So, does that mean that if I could get Alba Man to be my headset mate for the researchers, and if he then started, y'know, conjugaling up, then would I feel what he's feeling? Why, I think it might mean that! Science News

I do not care for this experiment. I would be worried that my wife would see what I "see" when I am angry with her. That would lead to no end of nights spent sleeping on the couch.

Well, of course you'd be first, BG. But then I'll take whomever is with Greg or Shemar.

I'd like to be swapped with KW's husband.

...Vincent D'Onofrio? REALLY??

Wait a minute, guys. "where they can get you to touch someone else's body, only it would feel like someone else is touching you" means that, for example, if we swap then I punch you in the face, I would feel the pain, too.
I mean, this would still be awesome during sex.

Why kingmonkey, do you like being punched in the face during sex?

Ryan: Heck yes Vincent D'Onofrio! I swear that the older he gets the better looking he gets. He makes my poor little heart pitty-pat.

AGFH - I compltely agree! There is SOMETHING about him. Him AND Vince Vaughn. Or both TOGETHER! Yummmmm....

KW - In that case...I'll be by this weekend.

MM - c'mon by. We're not doing anything.

You misunderstand him, I think. He is saying that if his wife wore the helmet, she would be loath to knock him flat, as she too would feel the pain.

"Gender had no affect on the illusion. Men had no difficulty experiencing a body-swap with a female experimenter, Petkova notes. Women readily experienced the illusion of being in a male mannequin’s body."
So does that mean I could experience a female orgasm?
According to Tiriesas, they're nine times better.
