Men and Lesbians: What's up with That?

I've heard that question many times. Most recently it was posed by SK8RN, a self-described skateboarding bisexual nurse, left in a comment on my post about "Couples in the Club" where I observed that my fascination with couples in strip clubs derived from men's obsession with lesbianism. In her words:

"Interesting insight on couples' experiences at strip clubs. I have to say I don't quite get men's fascination with lesbians. What's that about?"

First, let me correct myself. It's probably not accurate to say that men fantasize about lesbians. More likely we fantasize about bisexual women so that there's a chance that we get into the action too! But as long as there's two women in there having sex somewhere, it's all good.

Readers: you may want to jump in with your answer to this question. But I'll take the first whack at it.

Short version: One girl, awesome! Two girls, better!

Long version - follow me here:

- men are visual creatures. We're aroused primarily visually (although touch and smell are nice too!)
- men love to see naked women. This is axiomatic and requires no proof.
- men do not love to see naked men. At least straight men do not.
- men love sex
- being visual, men also love to see sex. To say that men are voyeurs is to be redundant
- "sex" implies two or more people. (I'm not knocking masturbation. Men will of course watch female masturbation videos.)
- if we're going to watch two people naked and sexual, we don't want to see a naked man in the mix.
- Now I'm back to: one girl, awesome! two girls, better!

That's my theory.

Three more thoughts on the topic:

1. One of my favorite links on my sidebar is "Girls Kissing" which features hundreds of pictures all of girls kissing. As I've said before, you could make a porn film of nothing but girls kissing and I'd buy it. But this website is close enough. The sets are arranged by country. Apparently girls kiss the world over and men are there to take the picture. Click "here" to sample a set from the USA. Check out sets 25 and 26. Those do it for me.

2. The tie in to strippers: one of the dancers feature in "College Girl Pretty - the Dancers" not only told me her theory about approaching couples, she also opined that most dancers are either gay or bi. I doubt that they all start that way. I'm guessing that working with beautiful naked coworkers all night brings that out in them. But what do I know. Anyway, I have have plenty of firsthand experience of dancers talking to me about other dancers that they have lived with or slept with. I remember every story and the fantasy that it inspired!

3. I'll tie it back into my original post about couples. Recently I stopped into a new club on the road at random. They happened to have a well known porn star dancing that night as a feature dancer and the club was packed. You actually had to buy a reserved seat at the tiprail to get up close. I found my seat at the rail and quickly noted that there were two blondes in the two seats to my right. Pretty girls. Friendly girls. Comfortable with each other. Why does one have her arm around the other? They almost look like a ......wait, they are a couple! Oh, my god. They are not shy about showing affection for each other. And for the dancers. As each dancer takes the stage these two stand up as a pair and hike up their tops and let the dancers have at them. Wow. A couple. A lesbian couple. Wait - strike that - a bisexual couple. How do I know. Because a guy came out of nowhere and asked if he could bump me down a seat. As he's talking to me he starts stroking one of the girl's thighs. "Are those your girls?" I naively ask. "That's my wife and her girlfriend. They've been at the tiprail all night". A trio! In the club with me. I thought I'd seen it all. It reminded me of Cat Nastey, her guy, and her mistress. Cat - were you there that night?

Here's to pretty girls, pleasing each other. At least in my dreams. Thank you ladies.
