Admitting What We Like

Genia of SistersTalk has written about lesbians who love gay male porn. She has an awesome quote from Felice Newman that I just have to pass along:

Fact is, many people – lesbian, gay, heterosexual, bisexual - get off on porn that doesn’t reflect their actual sexual practices (or don’t get off on porn that does match their stated sexual orientation). One woman told me: “I have no doubt that I am a lesbian and have no desire to have sex with a man, but the thought of two guys doing it really makes my clit throb.” Why? Well, to some of us, cocks are hot. Just because we like to look at them doesn’t mean we need to marry one. (Although we might fantasize having one.) And some self-identified lesbians like having sex with men - straight men, bi men, gay men, and transmen. Plus gay male porn has the added benefit of being more accessible than lesbian porn - finding it just isn’t that hard (pardon the pun).

I totally love this discussion. A few months ago I participated in a survey for The Stranger about women who like gay male porn. I wasn't too surprised that there are women who do, though, because I have loved all kinds of porn for years. That's also why the story I have posted on Literotica is a heterosexual story. I get messages all the time asking why a lesbian would write straight porn. Part of the answer is that the mainstream audience doesn't want to see butch-on-femme porn...they expect femme-on-femme in the lesbian story section. But additionally, I get off on straight porn too. People should be more free in their fantasies - it's okay to fantasize about the taboo, I promise...and even about things you don't want in real life. Really!
