A Question For The Lesbian/Bi Ladies

[JustaSCOUNDREL]

I’ll also include any ladies who enjoy an occasional interlude with an other woman.

Do any of you read and enjoy girl on girl stories written by males?

The question is not just from prurient interest. A long time ago I read a comment left by a woman who said she was lesbian. She basically said men should not write about girl/girl sex because men don’t have a clue. I am wondering if this is true.

What I am looking for are any favorite male authors who write girl/girl well.
Any major turn offs males may write.
Any specific things that turn you on and some male author writes well.

To save some the trouble I am well aware not all who claim to be males actually are not and I assume the same holds true for some who claim to be females.

For all who take the time and make the effort to respond I thank you in advance.

I know there are other boards where this might be more appropriate but, I am very comfortable here so here is where I'll start.

I've read plenty of F/F sex written by women who have no clue either...

Personally, I don't like to read about gentle and languorous fondlings accompanied by soft sighs. If everyone is doing it right, her hips are going to be jerking hard enough to break someone's nose, or wrist.

AFTERwords, sure, the women can be just as languorous as you want.


Also, there is ALWAYS context in sex between women. Something else going on. Remember that women do emotions. Doesn't have to be love, but there will be something. I edited for a very nice guy for a while. To express the entirety of a woman's arousal cycle, he would use the phrase: "She became moist." If two women were beginning to eye each other, he would say: "They became moist." I got a real kick out of it, but it was like drawing the Mona Lisa with a ten-pack of crayons.

Umm.. there was something else but I can't remember what...

I like Stella's response! LOL! I'll have to remember that the next time I write some girl/girl material. And I've never been with another woman but am not against it. My stories are in the Role Play forum so they're co-written; its a heck of a lot of fun.

I suppose unless a screen name (if we're talking about Lit) is "obviously male", I have no idea if I've read lesbian erotica written by men or not. With one exception. I cannot remember the story title or the man's name anymore, but I read a horrible story set at a tattoo parlor after hours with two women. But, that "author" didn't even know the most basic of details surrounding receiving a tattoo, let alone a woman making love to another. lol

There's good stories at Lit, and there's shit. Period. Based on screen names/profiles, some are written by women and some by men. And they span every category at this site.

(One could ask men if they like the Gay Male category stories with female authors, etc.)


And, as for mainstream lesbian erotica, I am not sure if any of the authors were men or not.

Okay, on another thread entirely, this caught my eye. Here is a man:

does this scenario turn you on ladies? let me know what you are thinking

.... I am the one being caught with someones panties in my hand in this scenario

I'll tell you straight up, the question is irritating to me.

And here is the way a woman writes it out:

I think that would be extremely hot to find a repairman in his faded jeans, dirty. Work boots standing at my dresser....picking out a pair of my panties ansd bringing them to his face. The kind of primal desire that would inspire this is enough to get me going.....yum

*fans self*

Danigrl added context. She didn't need to add very much detail at all, but suddenly the guy is someone I can see in my mind's eye, and care about-- just a little bit-- and that's what it takes for me to think him stealing my panties might be hot.

And she gets inside his mind for a moment too. It gives me some empathy for the guy.

One problem with writing about any sort of character is that you need to know how to instill empathy in your readers. And that's difficult enough, even when it isn't sex! Men tend to do so by referring to actions-- "he lifted her skirt" they'll write, and assume that everyone knows what does to one's brains. But to a woman, that action-- lifting another woman's skirt--in itself-- is hardly worth mentioning. It's the excitement, or the intimacy, the look in her partner's eyes as she lifts-- that's what's important. If I watch myself lift my girlfriend's skirt, that's actually almost unusual, and I'll write it that way-- it would become something important to the story.

(this seems like I should transfer it to my blog!)
