Transcript by OP

[fscom]

Slash makes me question my sexuality. M/M does nothing for me, and OBVIOUSLY a straight woman MUST find it hot, right? Just as all straight guys are supposed to like lesbian porn.

Re: Transcript by OP

[(Anonymous)]

Me neither. I'm straight and I find slash completely meh.

[(Anonymous)]

No, it's not obvious at all. Don't let Tumblr fool you into thinking there is any reason for a straight woman to have even the tiniest bit of interest in M/M.

If you do, you do, but it's not "obviously required."

[(Anonymous)]

Your sexuality is what your sexuality is.

[silverr]

Honestly, OP, I don't see why it should. Variation is part of what makes us human (and interesting). We aren't stamped from an unvarying mold and installed with identical operating systems.

(And fwiw, I don't think every straight woman likes M/M any more than EVERY straight man likes f/f.)

Also, many people go through phases where they do and do not like things. I started out indifferent to slash, then got into some fandoms where I saw it and wrote a lot, for a number of years. Then I lost interest, and became more interested in f/f and gen. I don't think that means my sexuality has changed, only my interests.)

[(Anonymous)]

You don't have to find it hot. Not all straight women do. And not all straight men like F/F, either.

[(Anonymous)]

As a heterosexual female I also don't get m/m slash. I really don't get why so many (self-proclaimed) lesbians in my fandom absolute adore m/m slash past the whining and far into the scary rabid "My M/M pairing better become canon or ELSE" field.

I could understand if they felt that way about F/F, being lesbians, but M/M?

[(Anonymous)]

my experience has been that a lot of queer people like queerness

[(Anonymous)]

This. I have a lot of lesbian friends who like M/M because they're in it for the queerness and M/M is a lot easier to come by in fandom than F/F.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a self-proclaimed lesbian, I guess in that I like having sex with women. And I love m/m slash. I think it's just same-sex sex that turns me on. Het stuff icks me out. But two beautiful dudes going at it is so wonderful.

[(Anonymous)]

You are what you are, OP, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm a straight female who loves m/m, but I also love f/f and m/f doesn't do anything for me. No idea why. It's just the way I am.

[(Anonymous)]

I enjoy well written het sex a lot and find it very hot. I also find m/m sex hot, and some f/f sex too.

I guess I just see hotness everywhere now, but I used to be very anti-m/m and annoyed by it. Now I'm not. *shrugs*

[(Anonymous)]

Slash was a revelation for me as a young girl - it was the biggest turn on I could possibly imagine and, 20 years later, I find dreaming about my favourite M/M ships far hotter than actual sex. It's so the opposite of this secret for me, it's crazy. But sometimes I wish I could be like you all because then I might enjoy sex with my bf more - it sadly never compares to dreams of my OTP fucking :-/

Fantasy is always better

[(Anonymous)]

Awww :( That makes me sad, anon. Kind of in that vein, this RP I used to be in that featured mostly slash had a certain m/m pairing that I didn't even like but I remember reading one of their scenes and deciding at that moment I needed to break up with my bf, because I felt like I wasn't really in love with him... and I wanted what they had. Which, of course, was just fantasy (the relationship was very flawed, but still -- not real). It actually ended up being the most mutual breakup I've ever had and I don't regret it, I just vowed that next time, I wouldn't let online fantasy stuff interfere so much with my thinking.

[nightscale]

Not all straight guys like F/F, not all straight women like M/M. Doesn't make you any less straight.

[(Anonymous)]

Straight lady who doesn't find m/m that great either.

Though I am into w/w if it's well written. Maybe because I have the parts and it's easier to imagine how it feels?

[tabaqui]

.......not sure where this 'obviously' is coming from. You do you, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

Not all straight guys like F/F and not all straight women like m/m. Like what you like OP and don't let people define you by something so trivial.

[philstar22]

There are no rules about what you like. I know some straight women who like lesbian porn but not gay porn. You do you.

[(Anonymous)]

I've seen things about it (though I can't find them now) that sort of show the whole "straight women love m/m so they can fetishize gays and two dicks are better than one" is only partly true. Sure, there are straight women fans like that, but there are also A LOT of queer, bi, ace, trans, what-the-fuck-am-I-even women who identify and get something out of the genre.

Like, the majority of readers might still be straight women just because statistically there are so many more straight people overall, but there are a lot more than the statistically likely population density of queer/questionint/other readers who find something in the genre.

A lot of us identify with it because of something we sort of feel is different about us but don't have a name for. It can be part of the whole process of figuring out what the fuck we are, in a world that mostly erases trans/gay/etc people, or it can just be something we like better than yet more stories about straight people.

Anyway, it's certainly not something all straight women like. Or all non-straight women, but there's more non-straight women as a percentage than there are straight women as a percentage, IMO. Does that make sense?

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly I'm really surprised at all the serious responses because "Woe I don't find M/M hot" is such a dumb problem.

Do you want to fuck women? I think that might give you a bigger clue

[(Anonymous)]

Most of the slashers that I've met don't at all identify is straight, and I'm reallyyyy not getting where you got the idea that "all straight women love m/m." I mean, yeah, there's been a small amount of the weird fetishists who think they're good LGBT allies because they ship Johnlock or something, but the majority of straight girls in fandom that I've met all can't stand slash and wish het was more popular.

But you know. If this is you wanting to feel all special and unique because you're the one straight woman who doesn't like m/m, go off I guess.
