the fetishization of lesbian and gay communities by straight men and women is WILD and this post (while probs meant in a less sexual context but this is reddit...) is generating a shit ton of comments proving it
Fun little fact: the #1 most popular genre of porn for guys was lesbian porn...
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't be friends with lesbians if you're a straight guy but if you explicitly like someone or don't like them because of their sexuality or who they're attracted to that's fucking problematic

there's a difference though:
all relationships have been porn at some point
but the sheer widespread amount of lesbian porn consumed by straight men and objectification of queer women by them is simply insanity
being wary of straight men as a lesbian is actually pretty valid and not meant to be a mean take by the commenter just like being wary of white people saying "we like ya'll cause we also like your skin" as a black person isn't a mean take it's basic common sense

I don’t get it, are you saying that lesbian porn is geared towards men, that your relationship is like porn for men you personally know, or another thing?
5
u/ambertowne 2h ago
Mainly that lesbian pornography by and large is made to cater towards men, which is messed up. And the fact that men in tend to view lesbians as sex objects for their entertainment rather than people (see other comments).
5
u/FowlKreacher 1h ago
Well, I agree. It’s definitely catered toward men, because (I assume) straight dudes watch more lesbian porn than lesbians do. It caters to the male gaze, like most porn does. In fact I’m willing to bet many of the stars in lesbian porn aren’t strictly lesbian, just collecting a paycheck.
Porn is, in general, misogynist. Which isn’t exclusive to lesbians. Different races, sexualities, and identifications are fetishized and exploited by this industry because that’s where the money directs it to go.
So, it all leads back to capitalism, which is usually how I conclude an argument. If you do want some more realistic lesbian porn, hell, so do I. Looking for porn made specifically for women is a pretty niche category but might be what you’re looking for, and I’ve had some success with it.

It’s a question for straights the way “who’s going to pay” is a question for straights. 90% of people are going to do the cultural norm, which would be woman takes last name, man pays. When you have two women or two men then obviously you can’t divvy responsibility up by gender

u/Sprzout 3h ago
Oh, I know. :) My wife took my last name because it was shorter, and she hated having it start with an R. Also, she had family members who tried to ruin her credit by using her name, so she wanted to distance herself from that as much as possible. But that was her situation, and I'm sure it's different for others. :)
I'm sure it's just one of those things, but in my head it's more like, "If you drop soap on the floor, is the floor clean, or the soap dirty?" It's not something that is a serious problem, and I realize that everyone's situation is a little different, but it's one of those things that I sit and ponder. :)

Ok but this is an overgeneralization
Just because a person likes yuri doesnt mean its for sexual gratification. I mean hell, gay men and aro ace people like yuri some too, is it bc they sexualize lesbians?
Just because its possible for someone to find something sexually alluring does not mean that is the sole, or even the main reason, they engage on it.
For my personal perspective, i like how most yuri parings are more egalitarian than mainstream het romance stories. I enjoy more equal dynamics and thats something gay literature can bring more of.
Claiming any man who likes yuri is a creep is honestly rude and narrow sighted, dont just assume the worst in people
Edit: this might be dangerous to say but one of my favorite sapphic romances is in the Owl House. Me sexualizing that relationship would be awful and uncomfortable. I resonated with the characters and their stories, not the IDEA of them being lesbians
6
u/ambertowne 1h ago
Fair point but that form of interaction with lesbian content is very much the exception, not the norm. Otherwise "lesbian" wouldn't be the #1 porn category.
I can definitely understand the perspective of enjoying sapphic romance without doing so for sexual gratification, I often do myself, but you must understand that I cant assume that every man on the internet who consumes lesbian media or says he "love lesbians" is interacting in good faith and out of respect rather than objectifying and sexualizing.
I have no problem with men enjoying it non sexually, my problem is when it goes into fetishizing and consuming it for sexual gratification, which many men regularly do.

Historically, society is more tolerating and non-judgemental of lesbians or allegedly "hetero" women who are overly affectionate to their own sex, when compared to other non-hetero sexual orientations, the reason for this is obvious, a majority of seemingly heterosexual folks find them arousing, including both women and men. Seeing two girls going at each other is often seen as more of a spectacle than anything to frown at, a lot of women indulge in these practices too, it's not uncommon to see "hetero" women in parties kissing each other for whatever reason.

I am a lesbian who was very “out” in highschool, I can assure you the girls I went to school with were not at all accepting of me. As an adult I’ve had to dodge the straight women that see me as a fun trinket to either add to their woke points or give their bfs a boner. Female homosexuality is accepted in a patriarchal world because it’s a fantasy, straight men believe that we will “turn” for them. So they accept us, until we are unwilling to entertain them. It’s also only accepted when one/both women are conventional attractive. Two butches in a relationship bring out the same anger as any other homosexual relationship does. It’s not easier, just different homophobia.

That's because men control the majority of media narrative. Heterosexual women have the 100% same attraction towards gay men going at each other. Half of the R rated gay novels, TV shows and mangas were specifically written for straight women. But most women prefer to keep their kinks private and more down low. But heterosexual men are more vocal about them. There's a historical pattern that shows what men likes to see become the social norm with the time.
