Why Do Women Love Gay Porn?

It’s not just about hot guys

My lover and I are not the only ones who have had this conversation. Many of my friends have similar stories.

We are cuddling in bed after making love. It’s a relatively new relationship, but things have reached the point when we’re starting to trust each other with the rough edges of ourselves.

We’re curious about each other, and it seems safe to open up about a few things. Like whether or not we enjoy porn and what kind.

When a woman tells a man she likes gay male porn, the response tends to be quizzical at best. “Is that a thing?” some ask. Others nod knowingly and tell you they like to watch lesbian stuff, too.

Sometimes they don’t take it well. “Why would you want to do that? That’s just weird,” is another reaction, often followed by a pre-emptive warning not to expect them to indulge along with you.

This new man is younger than I am, and maybe that explains his lack of shock and judgement.

He is curious, though, and wants to know why.

“It’s complicated,” I tell him.

You only have to spend a couple of hours looking at mainstream entertainment to realize that more women are into the idea of two men together than most straight guys think.
