Re: Almost an essay part too

I like my dubious power dynamics with a little ambiguity, not just straight up "she's submitting to him / being overpowered or taken by him".

Same. But I don't want to be all hoity-toity about it, going 'well, that little bit of difference makes me TOTALLY DIFFERENT from girls who just like straight up ravishment fantasies.' (Not that I think you saying that.)

Sidetrack: I think that the trend of MFM fiction from online romance publishers might be a better analogy to men & their girl-on-girl porn - the MM is there for the enjoyment of the woman / female readers, the F is a placeholder where the female reader can insert herself between the two men. And these romances may not be awesome and feminist in their portrayal of every female character ever, but they certainly aren't female-hating - whatever their flaws may be, they are female-centric. I think it's one of the most interesting fiction trends in a long time.

You know, I was completely unaware of this trend - I think you're right on the money.

*nods*

I'm the same way - I just don't find two men doing it sexy, so even if there is a dynamic that in a female/female or female/male couple I would want to see explored sexually, I'm just not interested when it's male/male.
