Women who like to watch gay porn

[reviews_and_ramblings]

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.

Interesting article even if it was somewhat superficial.
I find Gay porn very erotic, I'm not sure why but I suspect it's because it's between equals. Not necessarily in size but more so in enthusiasm.
I don't watch heterosexual porn very often but when I do I get the sense that the woman is just a prop for the men...a hole to be filled. But as I said I don't watch it very often so perhaps I just haven't come across any good stuff.

In a way you think like me, equality in gay romance is what makes it interesting for me. Elisa
