an extremely shameful confession
Looks like I'm having a serious identity crisis. Sexual identity, I mean. Never mind that I already had one when I first got into reading slash. Someone explained to me then that some of the best m/m slash writers - let alone readers - were lesbians... so I figured I could still safely see myself as one.;) And so I did. But now...
I have recently joinedporn_exchange, and am currently spending a large portion of my evenings downloading and watching various explicit gay sex clips. MALE gay sex - in case there were any doubts (not that I would mind some nice and tasteful lesbian porn... but I haven't seen any so far - and anyway, that's not the point of this post, somehow). It started as an experiment, out of pure curiosity - someone on my flist posted a link, so I clicked on it - but now it seems I am seriously into it, and I can't quite get over my reactions. I thought reading "romantic" porn was one thing, but actually seeing the hardcore action up close wouldn't do much for me... and hell, was I wrong. How well do I know myself, really? What's up with me? Is it because I am getting older and the hormones are going into overdrive or something? Is it because I've been single for over two years?... Is it because the so-called "lesbian" porn made obviously for heterosexual men is just plain disgusting? And the same goes for any het porn I've ever seen, btw. Why isn't gay porn disgusting then? Well, on some level it is - but still, I don't seem able to get enough. Is it a sign of personal liberation, or do I need therapy? ;D

You're so right. Especially women are not supposed to like porn, somehow... *snickers*
I'm still struggling with accepting it in myself
Hard to guess, judging by the way you write...;P
But I also think that being honest with ourselves about what we enjoy, and not feeling ashamed about it, is only a good thing.
And a wholehearted amen to that.:D

Ah, but if anyone in my "real" life were to find out what I wrote, I would be devastated! It's still my dark, dirty secret. And I was shocked myself at how erotic I find the idea of kinks I never knew existed before becoming addicted to slash.
