I'm not sure that's exactly why I pretty exclusively read m/m (despite being a lesbian) but the escapism is almost definitely part of it. I also like not having to "relate" to one of the bodies involved.

[(Anonymous)]

... I'm confused. Since when has "relating" to a body involved been part of porn enjoyment? I mean, when I read smut or watch porn, I'm there for hot people doing the do with each other. It has nothing to do with me whatsoever.

[greghousesgf]

I know what you mean.

[(Anonymous)]

I think that's pretty common.

I like to imagine BEING the hot woman, especially if she's very young, which I have no shot at ever being again. That's my escape.

I also kinda perv out on descriptions of hot women. Or at least the descriptions written by other women. Male writers can sometimes get too cold and mechanical in their descriptions.

[(Anonymous)]

I prefer m/m for reasons that are generally kind of escapist. However, I also completely agree with your comment.

[(Anonymous)]

Ditto everything you said, anon.

And oh god yeah, male writers can be so awful at describing women physically. It's a little sad and frightening, actually.

[(Anonymous)]

This is why I exclusively read f/f. At least, it's one of the big reasons.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the same, OP. Reading about a hot woman who the hot men drool over does nothing for me.

[(Anonymous)]

I would like to see some more romances about fucking weirdos and not conventionally attractive people. IMO.

[wannabe_influential]

Same

[(Anonymous)]

That's kind of the case for me, but really I just want a male character to be the object of desire that everyone lusts over. And not in that gross "oh, he's such an Alpha Chad, all the girls want Mr. Christian Grey but he's too cool for anyone but the special self-insert main character" way that pollutes m/f romance, nor in the typical anime harem way. m/m is the closest thing I can get to scratching that itch.

[philstar22]

Yes. This is one reason I read a lot of M/M.

[(Anonymous)]

God, I know exactly what you mean. Why do so many romance storylines have to be so fucking weird and bad??? It's baffling. I love romance, I love romantic storylines, but so much of it is one or another of these things. I don't get it. Is this just one of those things where I'm the weirdo and everyone else in society really does want this or what?

[philstar22]

I read either M/M or F/F erotica because a lot of M/F sex in erotica is boring. And also, there is more likely to be gendered assumptions that irritate me and throw me out of fics. Like, all girls are this, all guys are that. Just, no.

[(Anonymous)]

For me it's because I'm asexual, but I do have a libido... so when I read sex scenes it's a lot easier to enjoy when there are no ladyparts in there (when it comes purely to ships, I do ship m/m, m/f and f/f).

[(Anonymous)]

Despite being Ace, I managed to enjoy het ships just fine for my first ten years in fandom. But eventually I did get into slash fandom, and now, I must admit that going back to sex involving a vagina is just not super attractive to me. For the reasons you described.

Can you elaborate on this? I don't think I understand what you mean and I'm interested.

[tabaqui]

I think this is probably me, too; i like to read m/m because a) it's hot, and b) i don't have to think about parts that are like *my* parts, because I really do not want anyone touching any 'part' of me at all. Ever. No thank you.

(But I still get hot and bothered, and so m/m it is.)

[philstar22]

I sometimes wonder if I'm aromantic. Definately not asexual. But honestly, my ideal thing is friends with benefits or just purely sexual relationships. Romance doesn't really interest me.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, I love this thread! I never knew other people felt the same way! Thank you for this - I honestly feel more validated than I have in years.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I feel like m/m allows me to relate in all the ways I want to relate, without forcing me to relate in some of the ways I maybe don't want to relate.

And with m/m I just feel a lot freer in terms of what sorts of dynamics I can enjoy. Not that I police myself on what I am allowed to like - I don't. But once a female character that I love and admire becomes involved, I tend to feel quite...protective(?) of her, and there's a lot of stuff I don't enjoy seeing done to, or with, her character. And a lot of that stuff has to do with gender rolls and gender dynamics.

On the other hand, for me it has nothing to do with feeling unattractive or whatever. One, because I already get way more attention from men than I want, and two, because the fact that a female character is greatly superior to me is usually one of the things that makes me love her so intensely.

[(Anonymous)]

I wonder if there are men who prefer F/F erotic fiction?

[wannabe_influential]

This art looks familiar...

[(Anonymous)]

I started out this way, but found myself wishing I could relate, and when I realized I was bisexual, and started liking female characters too, I wanted to ship them as well and now half my fantasies are about that, where trying to imagine how it works out for them let me explore what I wanted. To me the escapism is in that it's two characters that are not me, but ironically it led to me being okay with my body and just wanting even more to experience (or at least pretend to experience) the same things. It's strange, lol. And I still ship a ton of m/m.
