I remember watching a British TV show, where these two older gentlemen were walking down a road together, arm in arm, chatting about having lunch.
Actually, I have to agree with all this business. But yes, normally it's all true, except that it was an immediate box-in even worse than "another guy" taking the girl, it was a girl taking the girl, which made it virtually impossible to compete. But that was a special case.
But when it's two women? At the risk of generalizing again-- my favorite theory is, it's not that it's two women doing things to each other as much as it's just two women. For a straight guy, it's like, double your pleasure, double your fun. And you get to look at a second female form, which is more aesthetically pleasing than some guy's big hairy butt. And for straight women, it's just the same thing in reverse.
I, even though I do enjoy joking about it and stuff, tend to disapprove of homosexuality in anime, manga, fanfiction, etc. It's not because I'm homophobic. Actually, it's pretty near the complete opposite - I disapprove of it because I feel that it trivializes and romanticizes real-life homosexuality. Every now and then, a teenaged girl (it's almost always a girl) on one or another of the mailing lists announces that she's decided to be bisexual. Each time, I can't help but wonder whether she really knows what she's getting into, or whether she was just so taken with the romantic story of Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus (or whatever other ideallic lesbian couple happens to be in vogue) that she had to try it herself.Perhaps, though, I'm merely being a bit too curmudgeony. After all, pretty much ALL romance in pop literature is hardly a good mirror of anything in real-life. For some reason, though, fantasy homosexuality tends to bother me more.
It is hard for hentai to even approach romantic. Let's face it, doujinshi artists are typically going for a goal. I personally on the other hand prefer sex to be part of a larger plot, something that two people finally reach after pining for each other at a soulful level for a conciderably long amount of time. Something emotional rather than purely physical. Of course I'm just getting off topic. These drawings are satisfying for the curiosity, however, especially when they're well drawn in a very similar or dead-on style.
And now, I must do something completely juvenile....*snickers* *decked by Engels*Sorry, I have nothing useful left to add.
I also need to read that fanfic one of these days. Maybe during one of my class breaks at school when I get my laptop back OR I print it out and haul it around.
One thing I've always thought was interesting is the widely-accepted love that guys have for lesbians,
Similiarly, somewhere between the ages of 11-13 all humans suddenly find themselves akwardly "aware" of a particular gender and curious of their own. To what amounts/extremes is up to something else.
Not to make this into a thing,"homosexuality is not natural and therefore punishable by death"
Keep in mind, some women get turned on by seeing two guys for the same reason some men get turned on by seeing two women.
I believe there are also studies that indicate that women are generally more accepting of lesbians than men are of male gays.
I think environment and upbringing has a major impact on how tolerant a person is to gays. In ancient Greece and Rome for instance, sex between men were perfectly acceptable, and in some city states even preferred to straight sex.
If a character IS homosexual, he or she is usually completely comfortable with it, and neither feels the need to hide it or to flaunt it. If someone is openly homosexual, his or her same-sex friends are also completely comfortable with it, as well.
In real life, of course, homosexuality is nothing like that. Discovering that oneself is homosexual is usually a pretty traumatic experience.
Every now and then, a teenaged girl (it's almost always a girl) on one or another of the mailing lists announces that she's decided to be bisexual. Each time, I can't help but wonder whether she really knows what she's getting into, or whether she was just so taken with the romantic story of Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus (or whatever other ideallic lesbian couple happens to be in vogue) that she had to try it herself.

However, if I lost a girl to another girl it might be another situation. Can't say myself, never been in that position.
That wouldn't have been the Doctor Who episode The Two Doctors would it? Cuz that scene wasn't as pleasant as you made it out to seem. Although those two were chatting about lunch, eventually the conversation turned to cannibalism.
No one ever replies to my views.
I was thinking I'd seen a more realistic scene just like that, in another British TV drama, or a foreign film, or somewhere. Oh well. Maybe I was mis-remembering the Who scene. It's been a few years since I saw it.I hope the point that I was trying to make will stand without that example.
The Two Doctors is the next Colin Baker serial scheduled for DVD release, isn't it? I think I remember reading that they had enough extras to make it a 2-DVD set.
