We'll just all assume that every person who gets this would make themselves early twenties with flawless skin, perfect organs, appendages and functionality, and no excess weight.

My question is, would you change yourself from your genetic baseline, and if so, how?

I’m trying to remember what sci fi story that was, set in a future where genetic modifications were common and easy. The protagonist chose a “small” penis that was only 11-12”, as the biggest size that was fully functional and useable. It was kind of amusing the number of characters represented having vanity penises for appearance, even if they were too big to be fully functional or that a person they were attracted to might enjoy.

I suppose in that same theoretical future women could do something like having distendable hips so that they could accept the meaty girth of the average man.

It would probably make childbirth and smuggling popcorn into the movie theaters a lot easier too
