Women who like to watch gay porn
Posted by Administrator
Watching Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal rolling around in a tent in Ang Lee's groundbreaking Brokeback Mountain had knees trembling all over the world. Many of those lustily quivering weren't gay romantics but women. 'Who knew man-on-man action could be so beautiful?' they cried.
Although some women have been in on the secret for a while (Japan's female population lap up boy-love comics while slash fiction, which turns two male characters from cult TV shows into lovers, is mainly for women), us British girls have been lagging behind. Until now.
Leading gay fiction author James Lear, recently named Writer of the Year at the prestigious Erotic Awards, has seen a sharp rise in British women getting to grips with boy-only sex. His first book, The Back Passage (ahem) was more popular with women than men and his new novel, The Secret Tunnel, looks like it will repeat the same success.
'As one female fan put it: "One penis is good, two even better,"' he explains. 'They fancy men, they're turned on by men and so they're even more turned on by men with men - it's like "man squared".'
He's got the look
Of course, it's not just about being surrounded by manhood, quality is an issue. In most cases, hetero porn is made by men for men and as long as the leading actor is well endowed and can perform on cue, he gets the part. Although female directors such as Anna Span promise to cast attractive men in their films, mainstream porn is often full of portly stomachs and ugly faces.
They fancy men, they're turned on by men and so they're even more turned on by men with men - it's like "man squared"
Which is where male gay porn comes in, says Prof Clarissa Smith, author of One For The Girls!, a book about women's fascination with porn. 'In most cases, the actors in gay porn films are more attractive and have the athletic bodies women fancy.'
Watching and reading gay male porn also allows women to explore unchartered territory. When women are faced with a male and female romance or sex scene, they naturally associate with the female. When it's men-only, you can be whatever you fancy - submissive or dominant.
'It's a holiday in someone else's experience,' explains Smith. It's even more basic than that, says Lear: 'Female readers don't need a central female character to identify with; they get off on men as men get off on women, appreciating their bodies, enjoying graphic descriptions of sex and objectifying men. They love the idea of a randy gay man seducing other men.'
Monica, 39, a designer, couldn't agree more. She only realised recently how much she enjoyed male gay porn and now watches it regularly. 'I log on to my favourite websites, then take what I see and reconstruct that into my own fantasy. My favourite scenario is a younger, pretty man being led astray by a bigger, butch guy,' she explains. 'It's sexy just watching them kissing. Often one of them has to be submissive, so maybe a small part of me likes seeing a man taking what we normally do.'
The sisterhood
Female betrayal is also a factor for Monica. 'I find it hard to detach myself emotionally from the woman and wonder if she is really enjoying it. With men, it's clear that both are genuinely aroused.' Prof Smith says this came up regularly in her research; many aren't convinced young Eastern European women's squeals of delight in films are genuine.
If Monica could find one complaint with her new habit (and it is a struggle), she says it's too macho. 'There's lots of spitting and slapping as they grapple to be the alpha male,' she sighs. 'I would like to see something a bit softer.'
Perhaps Monica should check out Lear's favourite part of The Back Passage. There's lots of 'oh no, that's just so wrong' exclamations as the two hero detectives have sex in front of a suspect to persuade him to part with information. Righty-ho.
An excerpt from The Secret Tunnel by James Lear
The excitement of the morning, the wine, the company, and the constant rhythmic bumping of the train had made me reckless, and I was quite prepared to risk discovery in order to get my rocks off with Bertrand... it wouldn't take long, and would serve as an amusing hors d'oeuvre to lunch. But just as we were getting amorous in our carriage, with the blinds pulled down and our tongues in each other's mouths, there was a tap at the door. Damn these railway personnel! I disengaged my mouth and shouted: 'Go away!'
