You're jumping to a pretty big conclusion on 20, there... she could just be a lesbian who really gets off on thinking and roleplaying about men having sex. She never said it turned her lesbian!

You're right, I was jumping to an assumption on a vague secret/statement. I didn't really mean to do that, as I have no say in what someone's actual sexuality is. I just meet too many girls who run around calling themselves lesbians because they crush on girls they RP buttsex with. A lesbian can get off to man/man sex or het sex and still be a lesbian, I wasn't implying they couldn't if that's what it looked like. But if that is the ONLY way she can get off, and can't get off with real girls, then I have my doubts. If that's the only way she can get off, fantasy-wise, then I can understand.

I sound like such a self-righteous twat, and I apologise for that, haha.

I know a lot of lesbians who get off to yaoi and outside of fandom they're completely dykes. I have no real sexual preference myself, but a lot of yuri does nothing for me.

So much of yuri is just...well, a lot of it lacks substance and it's just plotless sex :( That's why I'm so in love with sailor moon and utena, I guess, they are fandoms and series that focus on meaningful girl relationships rather than putting them in background roles.

While I have my own opinions on RP lesbians, I think it's unfair to jump the gun and think everyone who prefers yaoi cannot be a real lesbian. Mostly because a lot of times, what you like in fiction has to do with the characters involved (such as if someone likes an incest ship or age-gap ship) and the dynamics, rather than what is between their legs.

I know a lot of yaoi fans that got converted to yuri because of Yoruichi/Soi fong, since it was a female/female relationship that was well-developed, focused on, and had very interesting power dynamics THIS IS ME BABBLING
