Most likely that was a gay porno involving the lack of condoms. Actually, I think I may have seen a porn video called "Bareback Mountain"...Originally Posted by Sergeant Hartman
I would wager that there is a significant amount of woman who if not sexually aroused by male homosexuality, at least carry a good interest. I mean there is a whole genre of manga, light novels and anime based around such a notion: Boy's Love. The genre is mostly fuelled by female authors creating stories about two (or three) guys who ultimately end up together. Their target audience is predominantly female. There is a separate genre that directed at gay men: bara. Also, I would agree with rubah that an overwhelming majority of slash-fiction authors are female.There's also the lack of men going around claiming that we're just being exploited for gratuitious gay sex scenes. Most likely because 1) guys don't really care and in many cases actually would like this to happen and 2) I imagine the number of girls that would get off to gay men is far fewer than the opposite.
Anyways, I think that in part a lesbian version of Brokeback, depending on how it was made, would be the target criticism of male objectification of women as sex objects. I'd also agree that female homosexuality is treated different from male homosexuality. As much as I would not deny what Moon Rabbits says, I still would think that lesbianism is more sociably acceptable. That is not to say that lesbians are not the target of homophobia but I believe that anyone who would commit homophobic acts of violence would most likely do so to either sex though perhaps in different ways. I would forward that the large part of society, especially heterosexual males, are more comfortable with the concept of lesbianism than gays. Then again there are most likely more powerful underlining issues at work that could be explored, such as male homosexuals would more likely be seen as a threat to a man's sexuality than a lesbian.
