Seconded. (Sorry, had to reduce the count by one to reflect my own tastes.)
Twice the boobies, twice the butt cheeks, etc. Plus, there is often a tenderness and sensuality that is often missing from hetero porn. And the screen is overflowing with feminity. What’s not to love?
I’m about equally turned on by hard core lesbian porn, hetero porn and gay porn. (Which is to say, generally I’m squicked out by it, but once in a while my monkey brain takes over and it makes me get a tingle in my bottom.) I’m *very *turned on by soft-core or romantic sex scenes involving any number of any gender. I guess I just like suggestion more than acrobatics and bad acting. (I’m an 80% hetero female, by the way.)
But as for the question about men and viewing lesbians, I think the best explanation I’ve heard is this:
Beer good. Two beers better. :: Hot naked horny chick good. Two hot naked horny chicks better.
Aside from my teeth hurting at the aol-ness of the OP, my suspicions are thus:
Women are nice to look at in general. The female form is beautiful (whether it is because we have always been told this or if it really is just aesthetically pleasing is another debate) and men (and many women, including myself) just like to look at it. What could be better than looking at one naked woman? <not really spoiler>Looking at two naked women!</nrs> What could be nicer than that? Why, two turned on, having sexual relations naked women! This is why men (in general, and some women, including me!) like to watch lesbians go at it. Does that make them pervs? Not IM(notvery)HO, but hey, whatever.
As to why don’t people (male or female) enjoy watching two men go at it? Well, that’s just an ignorant question – many people do enjoy that. The proof is in the puddin…er, intarwebs. If no one enjoyed watching two men go at it, there wouldn’t be so many gay porn websites. Personally, I find the male form to be aesthetically pleasing so I enjoy watching two (in shape) men go at it.
By the way, just because something grosses you out, doesn’t make it wrong. I mean, apples gross me out – in any form – does that mean that people who eat them or drink juice made from them are perverts? No, it means that I lack the ability to appreciate their appeal. Get over yourself, you are not the morality dictator this week, not yours
Perversion is a wonderful thing, and a byproduct of imagination and creativity.
Personally, I’m only turned on by a sexual scene if it communicates a feeling of excitement and intimacy. A typical, fake obligatory girl-girl scene between two women who look like plastic dolls does nothing for me; a documentary scene of genuine, passionate sex between women does.
This thread reminds me of one from a while back, in which the OP was complaining that the guys in the mail room (or something like that) were perverts because they had magazines of nude women. She actually regarded simple nudity – not porn – as perversion.
For porn purposes, I generally require penile penetration of some sort. Lesbians don’t have the ability to do this, so they really don’t do much for me. I think, to answer your question, that it would be a shame to discount people liking some things purely because they’re sexy. I had a friend who asked me one time why guys liked to manually/orally stimulate girls. Her logic was that the guy’s not getting anything out of it, so why would he want to do it? My answer: because its sexy and it gives my partner pleasure, which is always a good thing. But perhaps when guys watch lesbians, even though the guys themselves aren’t pleasuring any partners, they derive some excitement from the sheer sexiness of it?
But why is it so sexy (to some)? Because girls are attractive and have all sorts of fun parts! But you must have known that, right, funny? Some women do like to see gay men kiss. But it’s probably less common because in general, the male body is not thought of as sexy so much as… functional. I think that might be the general idea here.
At any rate, I agree that everyone is so perverted. If I weren’t in this bondage gear, covered in whipped cream and honey, with this bag full of pinwheels, I would say more. Also, the new issue of “Naked Grandmothers In Churches” just came and my master and I need to spend some time with that.
I see that every now and then, almost always from really young women. I have a niece who was like that a few years back. Anything that even remotely hinted at anything mildly sexual was “Eww, gross!” I think she’s outgrown that now. (But hopefully she’s not into a “Bring it on, big boy!” phase yet.)
