love me like a lesbian

The close association of lesbianism and feminism, coupled with the fact that women are generally perceived as not desiring in the same agressive, self-centred way of the male gender, means that they could easily get away with a comment such as 'great tits' without it being perceived as offensive or objectifying in any way. The reason for this is not only that lesbians are already in the same camp as the object of their desire, therefore being perceived as less of an oppressor than the traditionally more mistrusted male suitor, but also that they are champions of an approach to appreciating the female form that is very different from the way men like to go about it. A woman will often be less concerned with the ideal of feminine beauty favoured by the media, preferring instead what can be defined as a more "spontaneous" female form, choosing what's womanly over what's clinically feminine, loving the woman as a a whole, a reality, rather than a concept or the sum of it's allegedly sexy parts.

Regular reader, you might be surprised to hear me talk about women. Dispair not, i have a point. The way women love women for what they are, as opposed to what they could or should be, made me think of the way that i, as a submissive, can love a man as opposed to the way a woman would.

When i say i'm attracted to men, i'm not simply talking about a man's physical attributes. I like the way a man thinks, acts, moves, walks, laughs. Everything that makes a man a man, is attractive to me, right down to the plain stereotypical. What's male is hot, in fact i fetishise those things that guys are generally given a hard time about. Yobbism, loudmouthed comments, slacking, drinking... all good. Even public urination. Alright, particularly public urination. Guys who want to quickly get off without reciprocating? Hot. A man who wants his cock to be taken care of while he sits comfortably on a sofa watching tv? Hot. Guys sitting at a bar, drinking and checking out girls? Hot. These kind of male traits are constantly being sneered at and ridiculed as being immature but boys will be boys, and boys they will be often in the way that it comes natural to them, rather than the way women fantasise that they should.

My point? Why on earth are genders attracted to each other??
