Question:
Dear Ask Daily,
Why are straight men so into lesbian porn? I mean, what’s the deal with that? Is it some kind of lesbian conversion fantasy or what?
-Inquiring Minds Want to Know
Answer:
Dear Inquiring Minds,
One of my friends, a heterosexual male, was describing the new movie Watchmen to me a few days ago. His biggest commentary on it, other than the awesome violence, was that there was waaaaaay too much male full frontal for his liking, accompanied by physical shuddering, etc. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard a comment like this. Hence, I can come up with only two hypotheses regarding the impact of the sight of the male generative organ on men: it makes them feel inadequate or it makes them gay.
So far, we’re not even talking porn here. But imagine, if straight guys get this upset about a bit of penis on the big screen, a constant barrage of it on their TV screen (or, more likely, computer screen) has got to be panic inducing. It raises all kinds of questions in the male mind, such as “Does my girlfriend want me to be that big? Cuz seriously, I’m not even half that size” or “If I get turned on watching this, does that mean I’m gay? I mean, yeah, there’s the girl, too, but I’m seeing his man parts and I’m enjoying myself!” Consequently, thoughts like these can only negatively impact the man’s performance in the bedroom. When he suddenly can’t get it up with his girlfriend, he then starts to convince himself that he IS gay and then he feels inadequate because he has no fashion sense and doesn’t know the words to any ABBA songs.
So how does all this relate to your question? Clearly, this sexual insecurity about, or even fear of, the penis expresses itself in the desire to watch girl-on-girl action, in which the only competition is a clearly fake strap on. Lesbian porn takes away the threat for straight men.
However, this doesn’t begin to explain all those lesbians who purportedly get off on guy-on-guy action.
