Why Men are Excited by Lesbians

the excitement of straight guys at the
idea of lesbians is well-known and for
many women deeply irritating phenomenon
no they aren’t just waiting for a guy to
join them but underneath the arrogance
there’s a more interesting and more
benevolent way to interpret the male
fascination with lesbians Freud once
remarked that the majority of men start
off believing that their own mothers
must be virgins a piece of primitive
unconscious nonsense they then project
onto other women this creates a lot of
guilt around sex in adolescence women
can seem the more reluctant party as if
sex for the man’s dirty idea if
lesbianism is then exciting it’s because
it proves incontrovertibly that sex
isn’t just some primitive dirty male
thing it’s something that women want as
badly as intensely as men do so even if
men happen to be excluded from this
particular instance of female desire
they gain relief from seeing that they
are clearly not the only ones who want
sex in general a burden of guilt is
thereby removed which can spill over
into irritating puppyish excitement but
the real thrill for men isn’t the
fantasy that lesbians are going to sleep
with them it’s the proof that women are
just as interested in sex as they honor
which to a lot of men remains a
remarkably novel and comforting bit of news
