Whoa. Back it up there, bucky. I don’t think you can call evolutionary psychology a “pseudo-science.” It’s a relatively new hypothesis, which is not yet generally accepted but which does have some evidence to support it. More importantly, it meets the criteria for a scientific hypothesis: it generates new questions, and it is falsifiable. You want to say you don’t think it is a valid theory, fine; but to call it “pseudo-science” is to lump it in with astrology and _ex nihilo_ creationism, which is nonsense.

Furthermore, as I said in my post, sexuality is a very complex phenomenon. I think reproductive strategies _underlie_ the OP’s question - not that they’re the whole story.

And if Snape is Harry’s butch, what is Ron? His little piece of fluff on the side?

I have to say, sexiness of 2 women together depends on the circumstances AND the women. Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring are not only beautiful, but charismatic and intelligent. And in the movie the relationship finally builds up to the love scene between them, and it’s hot because you’ve watching the 2 of them build this friendship/relationship together, and you can see there’s chemistry (or a spark) between them. But this isn’t ALWAYS the case with 2 women together. Most porn is boring and what’s missing is the suspense and slow tension building up to this engaging intimacy. I really love **Mulholland Drive** for the friendship and affection of the two actresses. I won’t call it porn. It’s not dirty. Not stupid, like most porn where the people are just spaced out or detached, and you’re detached watching it.

Is it hot for two zombie lesbians to do it? What about lesbian zombies (slightly different)?

It depends on how zombified they are. Just a little greenish or Gothic makeup and some scars, sure. It’d be like Twilight for zombies. True corpses would creep out most non-necrophiliacs. The difference between someone who was a lesbian before they died, and zombies that are always lesbians is irrelevant.

Oh, wait, that was a serious question, right?

It’s no joke: [_Porn of the Dead_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0846066/), an x-rated zombie movie.

I contemplated finding lesbian zombie porn and zombie lesbian porn but thought better of it. Heck, I think I’ve seen both of them in the past few years.

Twice as many women and no men. Where’s the confusion?

I’ve run across a fair amount of porn involving the undead Forsaken from World of Warcraft.
