Forbidden Fruit
The straight woman. Has she ever appealed to my senses? Has she ever stirred my desires? Has she ever made me dream of her on lonely nights? No. Not once in my 16 years of being out.
Many of my pals & ex-lovers have been interested in straight women & some have even dated or “converted” a few hetero’s. I however have never seen the appeal. Never had the crush.
I love lesbians! Not every single lesbian in the world. Just look at my post on Rosie O’Donnell. But generally speaking I’m attracted to lesbian energy, if there is such a thing. The energy of women who enjoy & love other women. It makes me ache in certain places. It’s an energy that I want to bathe in & roll around in like a joy-filled puppy!
To be honest my guess why I’ve never been interested in straight ladies is in part because I only like to chase what is actually attainable. Married folks, straight women, movie stars and anyone else not in my reach is a waste of time. Life is hard enough without trying to go after that which one cannot get.
Of course there are the women who identify as straight but have some queer potential that is really there. Maybe they confess after a few beers that in high school they messed around with their female friends or have crushes on Halle Berry or bat their eyes & say “I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be with a woman…” That is a different story because these women identify as straight but are most likely to some small degree or more, queer. And again even these women have never captured my attention, but I could see why some lesbians are willing to take a chance on the queer but not queer identified ladies they encounter.
Perhaps in part because I tend to be more attracted to women who are two-spirit in nature (have male & female attributes) than a more a femme nature that I’m never really intrigued by heterosexual women. Obviously not that all straight women are super feminine but I simply enjoy that mix of sexual energy that occurs in a gentleman-like lesbian.
Well that’s enough out of me.
Peace!

I totally agree, but what I am impressed by is the manors of the hard lesbians
