S.J.: I've wonde...Thanks for the comments everyone. <BR/><BR/><B>S.J.:</B> I've wondered about the female attraction to M/M sex myself, where it stems from and why it endures. <BR/><BR/>I've talked to straight men who are into F/F and was given the answer that they like it because they are personally interested in all the "naughty bits" being used. *grin*<BR/><BR/>I think there's a shred of truth in that with straight women as well. When there is only the gender the reader is attracted to present, a different level of indulgence in the scene can take place without comparision to the character that reflects the reader/viewer's own gender. <BR/><BR/>With women specifically, I also think that the attraction to M/M sex is the desire to identify with the male aspect of sex, but to do so in a sexual scene in accordance with their own gender preference. In a M/M scene you get to mentally "be the guy" without having to address the idea of making love to a woman. (Which brings up all sorts of other issues). <BR/><BR/>And of course there is the idea of casting men into the "silk aggression" role. That is, something is feminized in one or both men in the scene, while still making them the sexual agressor in the scene. <BR/><BR/>It allows male characters to feel more familar and inherently available sexually and emotionally, because they are being looked at in the context of a relationship with one another rather than translating across the gender barrier.<BR/><BR/>Did that help cast any hint of light into the darkness? :)<BR/><BR/>~XAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-35068554937561336382007-10-07T18:49:00.000-05:002007-10-07T18:49:00.000-05:00X- great post!
