Out of Curiosity

How do you feel about body-play with temporarily transformed people?

Let’s be a bit more specific. For this question, let’s say
you’re sharp if you’re transaffectionate, or cisaffectionate, or
mostly straight, or mostly gay, or such things as that. If you have some
specific, physical, overriding reason for rejecting people, and a reason that
can be changed with moderate magic. If you’re not sharp, we’ll call
you generous: so, a libertine who plays with all species, or a
bisexual. [Sythyry and Bard worked together on this question; Sythyry
doesn't believe that any primes are neither traff nor cis, and doesn't have a
short phrase for "straight" or "gay". -bb]

This definition isn’t intended to cover topics like primality, intelligence,
social status, and other things which are not easily subject to mere magic.
Unless, of course, you are in a world in which they are.

The intent is that “sharp” and “generous” both be pleasing terms, not the
least bit offensive.

So, sharp people might or might not care to indulge in body-play with
someone transformed into their preferred sort. If you only play with males,
what do you think of a female or hermaphrodite or co-lover who has,
temporarily, become male?

A generous person in principle shouldn’t care — but I can imagine someone who
likes their men male and their women female, so even that isn’t decided.

For the sake of this poll, pretend that the circumstances of the potential
encounter were such that you could and otherwise would take advantage of
it; e.g., a hypothetical alternate self who was not under that pesky
vow of chastity.
