The mall was unbelievably busy today as Patrick and his girlfriend walked closer and closer to her favorite clothing store. “Everybody’s looking at me,” Patrick said glumly. He adjusted the hood over his head. He felt so embarrassed walking around as a girl. After switching bodies with his girlfriend Chantelle, he wasn’t expecting to feel this way. He was normally the confident one. But it was like his personality was adjusting the longer he stayed in his girlfriend’s Asian body.

“Don’t worry, you look great. Trust me.” Patrick smiled warmly at that. In contrast, Chantelle seemed comfortable in his Caucasian body. They went everywhere over the course of three days. After temporarily switching bodies at the Body Swap Clinic, they were looking to get to know each other a lot more intimately after dating for five years.

It was an eye opening experience. The sex was amazing, and Patrick couldn’t believe how Chantelle had always been too shy to communicate how he wasn’t satisfying her. Now, he understood everything, but he couldn’t help but wonder if she’d be willing to extend the swap.

Sure, he was feeling really shy. He didn’t have the confidence that he did in his male body. But there was a strange sense of safety he felt whenever he was around his girlfriend. He felt like things were going to be alright. He kind of liked this.

“Let’s get you some new clothes,” Chantelle said. “I want to see what you look like. I didn’t realize it until now, but my body actually looks really good through another pair of eyes.”

“I always told you so,” Patrick said happily. He squeezed his girlfriend’s big hand as they both walked into the store.
