It really depends on what you mean by guys being interested in it; there’s historical documentation of what we’d call ‘hot lesbian action’ going back to ancient harems, but it doesn’t appear to be something that the average man on the street would be exposed to. I’ve seen vintage porn (old B&W film that would probably have been passed around on reel tape) that involves FF scenes, so it’s definitely not a modern invention. From what I remember it was a niche thing on VHS tapes in the 80s, but by the 90s started being a significant part of the standard package targeted at straight guys. The appeal of it seems pretty obvious; you get to see women without some guy’s junk on the screen and don’t have to feel inadequate comparing yourself to the male actor. > [@nearwildheaven](#): > > BTW, from what little I’ve seen of it, girl-girl porn is made with straight women. Conventional FF porn is made with female porn stars who may or may not be interested in other women but are willing to act like they are for money. For that matter, a lot of MM porn is made with actors who aren’t actually interested in other men, but Viagra and the prospect of cash can be much more effective than actual interest. There is a genre of FF porn targeted at (primarily non-straight) women that uses actual female-attracted women and films the action without the ‘male gaze’ shots that conventional porn is filled with, but it’s a niche market that ---

> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > I think another big part of it is that there isn’t another guy. We don’t have to compare ourselves to him or be taken out of the fantasy by recognizing it’s not us. If the girls are doing each other, we can quickly switch the fantasy of being one to the other without worrying about another guy There’s also the fact that some guys just aren’t into looking at another guy’s dick. I don’t go out of my way to look at penises in real life, so why would I do that for porn? ---

> [@GuanoLad](#): > > However, frustratingly I am more attracted to tomboy-types who are more likely to be lesbian. This has led to much dashing of hopes. 🙂 I’ve joked that “my type of woman” (whatever) may lie somewhere between Hope Solo and Leslie Feinberg. There has been _one time_ that I let my feelings show on my face at work to someone. One glance, little more, and over the next week the whole freaking family turned in revulsion! ---

> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > What niche is this? It would be interesting to watch these videos and compare/contrast the different styles I’m not really sure what you’re asking, ‘porn made for women’ is the niche I’m talking about but it seems like you’re looking for a different answer. If you google ‘ff porn targeted at women’ you’ll get links to articles about it and some sites to look at. The crash pad (search for ‘crash pad porn’) was the first one of these sites that I heard of. ---

The novel “Fanny Hill” (written in 1748) has a girl-girl scene, for what it’s worth. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-long-have-guys-been-interested-in-hot-lesbian-action/783762.md?page=1)
