Reader Feedback on "Arousing Controversy"
sometimes you are the girl, sometimes you fuck the girl... Like Goethe says, "The Eternal-Feminine Lures to perfection."

In non-visual support of your premise: I have a lot of straight friends, not my fault, a lot of straight people around here. I write gay erotic fiction, web publish ... not my fault, my imagination works weekends. My friends get curious. Oh yeah, I tell 'em about it. They sometimes read my stuff, just out of curiosity, ya know? Because I wrote it, right? Well, the fun part, for me, is when they come around to admitting how much it turns them on. Ha! Many do, some lie. Straight people getting turned on by frictional gay fiction? Male and female. Happens, yep. A lot. Go figure. Biggest surprise? My sister. Yeah, weird. db ps: an intriguing case in point ... doctor friend, GP, got an Amazingly Ardent response (his words) from reading about a kiss between two guys. It was a long-delayed, culminating kiss, coming after several pages of build up about the mutual desire burning at these two guys, okay? Wet details, purple prosed. Doc said living with his wife and three grown daughters had sort of dulled his interest in female mysteries but the male animal still held some darker corners of curiosity. He craves male companionship, right? Identity support missing. But a kiss? Wonder why. He didn't go gay, by the way, nor even bi... but he did leave the domestic enclave and run off with a free spirited new female. He's making pottery in Oregon, now. Bad pottery, unfortunately. Probably kisses her a lot. Oral, no doubt. db

brilliant! and very comforting to hear (as a woman) about the difference in arousal from porn as opposed to arousal from real live sex... Thanks

"hotness bracket." I bet I speak for every woman when I tell you we *adore* being ranked, sorted by some set of standards that are entirely arbitrary and which, if pressed, I bet you can't even articulate.

If you say that if a straight male viewing porn gets in a "female state of mind" and concentrates on the cock, he would then get turned on by images of men ...Could you say that if gays are shown videos of women and mentally concentrate on the pussy and not the cock, they will actually start getting aroused with images of women? The point the author tries to make, sounds very similar to the 'gay re-programming' experiment of some Christian groups. For part 2 of the article, how about stating that if you are a straight male and have sex with other males with the light off and picturing your partner to be female, you will get turned on and enjoy homosexual experiencies? I really don't think sexuality is like a switch you can turn on and off if you 'concentrate on your opposite sexual preference' state of mind.
