It always makes me wonder how much of the fic is based on real life and the authors fantasies.

Like actorwards, I always think that that is how the author wished she would meet Rob and how it would go.

I also wonder about straight women who get turned on by slash. Do they fantasize about their husbands/boyfriends with other men? Would she like just to watch or join in?

I don't have anything against it, I just don't understand, which makes me curious. I've been in therapy for so long I like to know more about how people work.

I really hope wisp has nothing to do with her life.
That would be tragic.

I read m/m, but I can only answer from my POV. I've never been one of those people who insert myself into the stories I read. I read for THOSE stories and characters, not because I wish I was them. So I don't insert myself or anyone I know into the stories that I read.

As to why I read m/m? Well, for one, it's different. You don't get TSTL heroines that so often pop up. And what is hotter than one hot man? Two hot men!

To be honest, I never, EVER thought I'd read m/m. I found it by accident. I was reading an erotic romance, a menage, and the men sexing each other was totally unexpected, both to me, and to the characters in the story. And it was HOT. So I looked up a couple more, and after a while, the woman just started seeming in the way, so I hunted up my first m/m story, and was hooked for the better part of two years.

I'm kinda on a break with m/m right now, catching up on all the hetero reads I missed, but I'm sure I'll be back to it soon!

Mmmmm

I don't like reading about Edward being gay cause it messes with my fantasies in every other fic I read.
I do imagine myself in some fics, so that may be it.
Not that I think myself as Bella. But I imagine the plot going on in my life, like having a sexy neighbor move in next door to me.
Or a coworker/colleague that flirts with me, etc.

But I guess that is one of those things you can't explain. That everybody is different and likes different things.

I don't mind reading about a gay couple, as long as it is not Edward. Lol.

I don't even care for m/f lemons anymore,  there are only so many ways you can describe a sex scene. "Harder, oh god, I'm coming".  After almost four years of fanfic, meh, it's basically all the same.

Also, most gay men I know ( unless they are not openly gay) are really effeminate. Like Matt bomer, he is gorgeous. But the way he turns his head to the side, it's so sweet. He is probably more feminine than I am. Lol

No I'm not butch. But I'm nor a girly girl. I'm not a sweet girl. I'm blunt and can be crass.

Ad you know men that spend more time getting ready than you do?

So those things are a turn off.

But gay men are better friends than women.

I'm with you on the Edward being gay.  I don't care if any other guy in the story is gay, just not Edward.  And? I usually read the first sex scene between the characters, after that I skim.  Some authors put all sorts of stuff in the middle of a sex scene LOL! If you don't at least skim it? You sometimes miss, oh I don't know, a proposal? Something funny?

And I have had gay friends.  Some can be great.  But some are just as catty and dramatic as another woman. 

At this point, I don't see me reading M/M stories.  This could change.  But not anytime soon.  I always think it is such a waste

I don't have any gay friends so, I can't comment on that.  Although I have to say my Husband takes a hell of a long time getting ready for anything!

I am definitely not a girly girl.  I couldn't give a hoot what people think of the way I look as long as I am clean and clothed.   I love football - in the traditional sense of the word, and, have more male friends than female.  I have always got on better with males which is what makes this thread refreshing.

Same here! I like reading the first time Bella and Edward have sex.


One of my best friend is lesbian. Or bi. She doesn't know. She still is so afraid of her mom that she can't sort herself out. Anyway, no dramas with her. Maybe that's the way to go. Have lesbian friends.

Lol

People are so complicated.

LOL! Lesbian friends only work if they aren't in love with you! Then it's like having a guy friend.

I agree with everything you said here!
I read my first slash (a oneshot with edward, jasper and emmett) and thought it was so hot!  I'm sure that's because of the three men involved!

It's weird, I actually love pics of guys being close- cuddly, kissing, I even like the odd BJ pics, but I don't really care to see the whole sex deal either, although I have seen some gay pr0n that's pretty hot. (have you SEEN my smutty tumblr? lol!)

Also? Checking out that one shot! Thanks!
