Gay Porn and Your (Nonsexual) Female Friends
-
I was pretty amazed at this Queerty article, in which a straight woman said she was obsessed with gay porn, to the exclusion of any other erotica:

So, it got me thinking as follows:
Have your platonic female friends ever inquired about wanting to watch gay porn?
If so, did you loan them some take-home man-smut from your library?
Or, did you watch a bit together, and offer some explanation and commentary?
If none of the above, is it because the whole concept makes you queasy?

When I came out (1991… ouch) 1st person was my best friend - after we chatted about me being gay etc she asked if I wanted to borrow her gay porn mags - I was like WHAT??? - and she made jokes about pages shouldn't be glued together when she got em back... funnily I took them but almost to be polite, although I did discover Joey Stefano in one of them sigh had such a crush on him THEN realising he was in live stuff OH MAN lol
A year later I told my cousins - My cousin piped up with.. "The guys in gay porn are hotter" - My other cousin was there too, she was all freaked out @ my revelation THEN her sister's lol - so we went from me coming out to me figuring out that my cousin used to watch gay porn.. her reasoning was similar to straight guys watching lesbian stuff, that it was two hot guys going at it etc
Felt so weird to talk about and NO did not offer to watch with them lol

I love the nostalgic tone of your post, Dene.
Tuesdays are generally Movie Nights at my place, the guys and a few fun gal pals. We like obscure cinema, foreign films, so I usually collect and store them on an external, portable hard drive – that also contains a fair amount of gay porn.
When I'm clicking icons, with previews of various films from which to choose, i always sneak in a gay porn, mid-scene. On the curved Samsung, it's really quite a sight.
Everyone squeals in real or mock embarrassment. I think the longest one has played is two minutes. And none of the girls have asked to me to burn a thumb drive, lol.

I got my first mag from girls too. They didn't buy it but one of them worked a the qiosque (if you spell this shit right) or something like that. She just took it and then they asked if I want it. I was like…uhhh okay.
We opened it up once with like 5 friends and there was a kinky story. Nobody wanted to read it out loud so everybody was just taking 10 minutes to read it on their own and everytime after it, there came that disgusted face : DOne of the friends - she was a lesbian - we talked a lot about stuff. I knew she watched porn. Even though she was a lesbian she didn't like lesbian porn cause it was almost always straight chicks, who didn't know how to make love. So she watched straight porn and then she also watched gay porn. So it's funny that she wasn't even straight. It's logical for a straight woman to watch gay porn as many straight guy watch lesbians. But her being les and watching gay has so much sense as us watching les porn. She then said she likes to see it brutal. Gay porn probably provided it. After some time it became somewhat darker I think, she stopped watching any porn after she told me she realized it's wrong when she couldn't find anything more brutal.

I only have one straight female friend who's made some vague noises about liking gay porn… but I generally don't talk to friends about porn, whether they're gay or straight. So we never really talked much about it.
But it does make sense to me. I mean, if they like men...
I sometimes watch straight porn, and I identify as gay, not bi. Not all that different, I think. -
Have you ever seen some of the "porn" that's made expressly for women?
I mean, the men are extremely fit and handsome, but the films can take 60 percent of the time on the "meeting," the "seduction," the somewhat endless kissing and caressing. Then, the "cock shots" are done in hazy light, the the BJs and sex are nowhere near the, um, reality of gay OR straight sex, lol.
So, maybe women who are just more "real sex"-positive are the ones who will watch your gay porn.
