(Anonymous) 2023-08-22 12:19 am (UTC)(link)I guess that could be true. On the other hand, it could just be that you're straight - the male side is more interesting because you're attracted to men, not women.
I know I personally like reading about women's pleasure in part because, well, I'm attracted to women! It's hot because I'm imagining being the source of their pleasure, not because I'm imagining that it's me. If I were only attracted to men, I figure the female side probably wouldn't appeal to me as much.
I guess what I'm trying to say is don't be too rough on yourself, anon. It's probably just your orientation, and it's normal.

Got nothing to do with prioritizing men's pleasure over mine; the m/m smut I write (and read) is a puppet show, all there for my enjoyment and titillation.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-22 08:03 am (UTC)(link)(Oddly I don't get into F/F at all. I'm honestly not totally sure why. Some kind of vestigial hetero leanings, possibly? *shrugs*)

(Anonymous) 2023-08-22 12:18 am (UTC)(link)There’s already enough of that garbage drilled into us socially, I am not interested in reading fanfic that regurgitates the same bullshit.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-22 03:39 am (UTC)(link)*Except in those kinds of fics where a male character goes and fucks women from all different shows, but they're easy to avoid.

Mostly because there's so much r34 and smut art that focuses on guys. Or a girl's pov that's so obviously written by a guy in horny mode . I guess I'm just here to put the gal POV /focus out there.
Which is to say . I getchu OP

(Anonymous) 2023-08-22 12:21 am (UTC)(link)Most het stuff is receiver-focused too, even if it's the guy's POV.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-22 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)I hate feeling like a passive object that's being acted on by an active partner. I hate feeling submissive. I hate feeling needy/bratty/childlike/emotional but paired with a Stoic and Manly partner. I hate having to have a partner who is masculine, stoic, cocky, teasing, the Subject instead of the object.
But those are all thing people have applied to 'person who isn't penetrating someone' and unless you have a penis, you're not getting physical pleasure from penetrating someone, so physical pleasure has to come with an interpersonal role that makes me want to be sick if the character has a female body. And this is why I'm sure I would hate actual sex too.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-22 06:51 am (UTC)(link)I think we need to in general remember that personal preferences are OK and it's cool not everyone likes the same things.
I never took into consideration that female readers would want things solely from the male POV until I began writing RPF with self-inserts and the fandom I wrote for had so many 2nd and 3rd person narratives that had zero to little focus on how the self-insert/reader felt or thought.
I thought it was really weird because I'm AFAB and lean towards being attracted towards men and both printed smut and fanfics that appealed to me were more from the POV/focus of female pleasure.
I began changing up the POVs in my writings because I do want to expand my writing skills and I want to be more mindful of how there are two people in a relationship, not just the POV character or the protagonist.
But I do tend to not like solely Male POV fics (for M/F fics) because there's usually a voice at the back of head saying, "God I'm so fucking sick of everything being fucking centered around men."
It's a personal thing, I know!!
Everyone enjoys their smut for whatever reasons, I know! What I think is just about me and my POV and preferences.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-22 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)Whereas with m/m it felt like a weird compromise for myself so I got to read about queer characters without thinking too much about my own situation. IDK if that makes any sense, but my main excuse for that was being an angsty teenager that loved romance - but didn't relate to the at-the-time mainly hetro romances in mainstream media, but didn't want to be reminded what I couldn't have/be apart of via women's romance.
That being said, I grew out of that kind of thinking (although still in the closet due to living circumstances and probably not gonna date anyone for mental health reasons lol). I read almost anything now because I'm still a sucker for romance and enjoy re-imagining fave characters in different scenarios. Admittedly I still read more m/m than f/f, but that's mostly down to the fandom's I've landed in recent years.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-22 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)I still remember when it was hard to find a lot of good ANYTHING that wasn't just m/f... though the m/f I did read back then usually did focus more on the woman's experience/pleasure! I don't know what the m/f landscape is like nowadays, because... well, now I know I'm a gay man. There are m/f ships I love, but I don't tend to want to focus on the sex they have. Same tends to be the case with f/f ships, I know that's not what I'm into if it's smut, but when it's not smut, I like to see the girls I like together get together! (or, I'll skim past the smutty parts and focus on the other parts of the romance, it's all good-- I mean with some f/f ships you really take what you can get! I keep falling for the rarepairs...)
