This came up in a previous post, so I'll back up to the beginning of the thought-train...
I am straight. I've considered this, in light of my previous self-proclaimed bi-sexuality, and realize that while I can and sometimes do find sexual pleasure with another woman, it isn't my preference, and not a lifestyle I'd ever actively pursue for myself.
I've come to realize that, while I don't consider same-gender sex to be shameful, wrong, or bad by any means, I do find, looking deeper, that all my own fantasies and fetishes which involve play with another woman have at their core at least a seed of degradation or shame. To be dominated by a woman, to be forced by a man to serve a woman, with my body, my mouth, my hands, to be humiliated by a woman, used, or abused thereby... Always, I find these come up relative to a greater dominance by, or service to, a man, or even several men.
I still do find womens' bodies to be beautiful, but still, any arousal that achieves is in the context of their relation to men.
Strange that this comes as a revelation to me, almost on par with others' realization of the opposite- that they ARE attracted to their own gender.
One more post-tangential, I believe, is to follow...
