I think my boyfriend's fascination with lesbians is stupid!

A female age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Am I stupid or wrong if I think my boyfriend's fascination with "lesbians" is juvenile and stupid? I will admit I feel slightly insecure/inadequate, since of course to him these girls (who would have to be bi, he said...) would have to be hot for it to work.

I feel kinda bad because I feel this is something I'll never be able to give him, obviously, I'll never be able to turn into two women to put up a show for him. I don't know, this fascination of his makes me feel like he can't be satisfied by just one woman (ie. me).

Am I being stupid? I don't know but this just gets to me! I feel like such an idiot, since 99% of straight men are obsessed with two "hot" women having sex or making out. But I find it so juvenile and stupid. So perverted. Not like the nice, loving man he is when we make love, or just generally when he tells me "you're the only one I want" (yeah right!), this to me makes me look at him like a disgusting perv, sorry. Like he's sex obsessed and one woman to have sex with wasn't enough.

How can I get over it? I feel like a stupid, jealous "witchy" girlfriend... he got upset since I told him how his fantasy made me feel. Mostly because I found out about this when we were with my sister's boyfriend and he said he had watched two girls kissing once and my boyfriend was like "Hmm, interesting" with a huge perverted grin in his face, in front of friends and my sister... but of course, all the men there were like "wow..." it didn't bother my sister 'cause she's bi (we were the only 2 girls there).

I felt like an idiot for being the only one not turned on by that stupid story. I feel like a prude and the girlfriend no man wants to have since my boyfriend told me it's obvious men like two women kissing together (if they're bi), that every man would like an FMF threesome and that me being upset over something so trivial and normal is dumb.

A female reader, camomile Italy +, writes (1 February 2012):

camomile agony auntI have the same issue as you exactly. At the beginning he was telling me it is not something he will press me into, and he will cool if he knows i do it for him only, that i am only his, and that he only wants me to feel the tender touch of a woman which he as a man cannot give me to feel softness. I dared to belive im (i havent done it yet, but i stoped compaining so much to his vision about it), when i realised with time that this senario became from a whole new ''gift'' for my femininty , to something that he openly said turns him on, and as at first his focus was on my reactions to this lesbian sex(my moans, my feelings, my orgasm), turned that he admited that he wants to hear both women moans, both women bodies touch, bot hwomen kissing sounds, not mentioning a lot about me anymore. Just the scene he says is so horny, and i am a stupid or i dont trust him or our love if i dont feel it too. SO NO you are not overreacting in this. You should tell him how you feel about it and stand ground. I advise myself the same too , good luck to both of us

A male reader, strawberries United Kingdom +, writes (11 February 2009):

I wouldn't let it make you feel like your no enough. A lot of guys that like the idea of lesbians (particularly lesbian porn) like it because watching other guys have sex makes them feel insignificant.

The thing to remember about most male fantasies is that they are just that, fantasies and are thus uncomplicated by emotions at times this is an appeal for guys, and is usually completely seperate from their relationship.

You are not alone in thinking it's childish. I read an article once which referred to the girls that act in lesbian porn as "powderpuff lesbians"

Tell him how you feel, the bottom line is, no guy WORTH being with would consider you a prude for not liking the idea of lesbians, or i guess in this case being in a threesome

Thanks for everyone's input, I know I'm being ridiculous, it's just that it makes me feel like both a prude and that I'm not enough. Most girls nowadays are into kissing other girls (so much that Katy Perry scored a hit with I Kissed a Girl and bunch of 15 year olds think it's like totally their song!) and I feel like a boring prude for not being into it. Like he'd prefer I was.

Its just a fantasy. Every human is entitled to them, and the majority of the time... they never involve our spouses.

Get over it. You are makign a mountain of a molehill. Hell, its not even a molehill. It's a few grains of sand ontop of each other at best.

A female reader, Emajayne Canada +, writes (11 February 2009):

Emajayne agony auntI don't really get the lesbian fantasy either. My girl friends and i ponder the reason behind the madness and a few things we came up with over the course of a couple years was:

a) the men that want it are the ones that can't and never will get it.

b) it is something different and exotic. We should develope a tape of two guys kissing and show it to all men who think lesbian make-outs are hot and see what happens...

c) it is a way of making us (their girlfriends) feel jelous and 'step it up' or 'try something new.' When my ex got really vocal about porn and stuff i made him show me his favourite video. To be frank - it was taaaaame! TAAAME! A complete let down to the art that is pornography!

d) There is no adventure in something everyone who's everyone talks about. It is a form of CONFORMITY! Kind of like the gangsta fashion sense...

As for how u feel i have been there and done that and it really does suck loads. Don't feel that u aren't good enough for him because of his 'tastes' *cough cough, just be happy it is a fantasy, (and fantasies are perfectly normal and NATURAL) and not an indulgence.

He should be a little more considerate towards your feelings and maybe open up as to why he finds it so appealing. His comment about two hot chicks only being able to participate leads me to think he is only going by what he can see on the internet and nothing to do with reality. They aren't going to make porn videos of two morbidly obese extremely unfortunate looking girls attempting to get it on with a banana. For starters no one would watch and the damage would be irreversible.

From the sounds of it he is making harsh generalizations about men saying that every single guy likes a certain thing (when they don't)and u are putting yourself down. You are not the only one to think you are a prude and socially unacceptable and i can tell u with complete confidence that there are at least two people (u and i) on this earth that think this male obsession with two girls getting it on is strange.

You shouldn't discourage his likes and dislikes as there is nothing worse than a companion that puts u down for the person u are. Just accept it, and be sure to voice ur own opinions as well...but don't hurt his feelings. Stick up for urself and he should respect u for your opinions/ If he continues to be mean, he is not worth ur time. He should at least include u in his fantasies rather than just two professionally good looking females with fake names getting paid by the orgasm.
