Like to watch.

As a lesbian, I was never really interested in gay (male) sex. Even though I have many close gay male friends, I never really wanted to think about what they did in bed.

Now, that doesn't mean I like penis any more than before I started watching the show; I just have a different view of the intense pleasure that sex brings to the group of men portrayed on the show. Just as Norah Vincent wrote in her column, I too felt as though I were a "bad lesbian" for being intrigued by this show. Now, I hope I don't sound too pathetic--I have a healthy relationship with the woman I love, and I am proud of who I am. But I have witnessed a show that provides me with a look at the other side of being gay. I will continue to learn more about our boys on the show and in real life. We must support each other in order to make sure we are given the same freedoms to live our lives. If that makes me a "bad lesbian," then I guess I have been a very bad girl--spank me.
