Somebody's been spamming the submissions post with old secrets, apparently (for what actual purpose, I'm not sure). Just give me a heads up and I'll take the repeats down.

sorry i'm kinda drunk

I think that the easiest, most practical thing to do is define your orientation by who you personally want to be with, but sometimes things are more complicated? Sometimes a certain gender is super appealing by themselves, or with somebody else, but just... not for you. You can absolutely only love women in your real life, but think men in porn are hot, because sexuality is really confusing and weird. If the difference is how you feel about it when you're involved, you can like men and still be a lesbian.

But there's other reasons why lesbians might like slash. I used to like guy slash a lot when I was younger, and now not so much. My first slash ship happened a little after my first same gender crush, and since I was kind of super closeted at the time, it was great to have some distance between me and the characters, and I don't know if it could have made me feel better about being gay if there wasn't that distance? Plus, a lot of slash ships are for characters that have these big epic friendships and big epic rivalries, and when that happens with girl characters it usually doesn't get as much focus, or it's pretty much all about boyfriend stuff. And I wasn't really aware of femslash actually written by women back then, and thought it was mostly lesbian porn for and by guys. Not sure if there was as much stuff there back then? but for a while I didn't really see getting into girl/girl stories and stuff as an option.

So there's that.

That is so much like my own experience, especially getting into slash when I had my first big same sex crush. I felt better daydreaming about fictional guys than my rl friend who would be weirded out by how I felt about her.
