Porn: Double Standards

Why is it okay for a female to watch lesbian/gay/heterosexual porn and still be considered straight?

It's okay for a man to watch lesbian/heterosexual porn but when he flicks to gay porn, he's gay.

What's up with that?

Do you watch gay porn then?

Dunno. I enjoy gay porn, yet I'm not gay. I suppose many are afraid to experiment with their sexuality.

Because men find bi-curious/bi-sexual/lesbian females attractive/sexy (if they are good-looking), so if girls look at lesbian porn, then they are hot :sexface:

It's because we live in a heteronormative society where heterosexual men are at the top of the social power structure, so lesbians and women who find porn featuring women enjoyable are transformed into something men can fetishise as the perfect sexual ideal. Those men think that those women are more likely to be willing to indulge their sexual fantasies. Then the next step is to mock those heterosexual men who watch gay porn, because it increases their own sense of personal manliness, whatever that is. It's ridiculous!

Sexuality is so fluid. As someone attracted to all genders, I enjoy having sex with a different group than I enjoy watching porn of. It's just a different type of enjoyment for me. I don't see any problem with it but when I tell people that they attempt to redefine my sexuality for me.
