I like interesting characters getting it on. So when I discovered fanfic back when the young gods walked the earth, I was hooked by a lot of it. And most of it was m/m. Mainly because most of the interesting characters on TV and in books *were* male, and also there often were hints about what if things were different - getting them over hurdles to get it on seemed pretty plausible in comparison to many plots. Even now, there's not much f/f fanfic out there (or m/f, even), partly because of still fewer well-drawn women.
Also I'm a child of the AIDS generation. All my gay/bi male friends, and there's a lot of them - we've joked that the easiest way to tell a guy is queer is they've hit on me - had to go through loneliness, self-hatred, fear, and then the simple lack of role models between 3-20 years older than themselves. Fighting through all that and choosing to fuck a guy anyway? You've got a story. Or the alternative, creating a venue and local culture where guys can just look at each other and it means 'wanna fuck?' and they can get to it, ignoring the rest of the world.
(@KeithD takes the latter approach. I read a fair few of his stories because the settings are so well described, and the placement of people in them. If I was writing a similar story, I'd put in more of the characters' thoughts and dialogue in between that and the fucking - sometimes. It's what I like doing, so I do. Some readers seem to like it, and half of them at least claim to be male.)
Basically I find transgression sexy. Two people wanting to be together, or even one person wanting to be sexual, despite society? Tale as old as time. A disabled character, two same-sex characters in most times and places, the woman in an early-90s lesbian group confessing she likes a man - all fascinating.
Plus a side order of simple appreciation of any hot people getting together, and lacking any idea that certain sexes are less sexy than others. There's so much representation of m/f couples all over the media and in the street that tbh they get a bit boring!
