Women who like to watch gay porn

Interesting article by Lisa Scott on Metro.co.uk even if I don't agree with her in this claim

"Watching and reading gay male porn also allows women to explore unchartered territory. When women are faced with a male and female romance or sex scene, they naturally associate with the female. When it's men-only, you can be whatever you fancy - submissive or dominant."

I have my theory, an evolution of Laura Kinsale's theory on why women read romance; Kinsale said that when a woman read a romance she identifies herself in the hero, not in the heroine, and this is the reason why some female authors have so strong male characters. So, for me, I read M/M romance since I have the chance to identify me in TWO characters and not only one; in other words, no one of the main characters in the book has a lesser role, they are both protagonist.

I am a female who enjoys watching hard core male gay porn. It excites me very much. I have never watched hetro porn and have no desire to do so, is there something wrong with me ?

I ask the same thing to myself since people continue to ask me why I read M/M romance... actually I really don't know, the simple answer for me is since I like them. But it's a too simple answer.
