I think I'm going to go wake up my husband and ask him what he thinks.
Green Witch,
Your observation is likely connected to the obligatory "lesbian" scene in most adult films produced for a straight market. The question of why a straight male viewer would be attracted to homosexual--or pretend-homosexual--activity between women was long puzzled over by the research pysch community. A number of universities--Johns Hopkins was one that I recall--finally came up with an accurate analysis. Turns out that most straight males like "lesbian" scenes because they feature TWO naked women at the same time. Secondary preference for the scenes is that they are perceived as somewhat kinky. I assume, by this logic, that the more naked women on-screen at the same time, the better. Being a straight guy, I find this apparent shallowness on our parts a bit embarrassing. But, I guess males tend to be heavily visually oriented in our sexual interest.
Possibly, many men--for the reasons just given--are attracted to fantasizing about their wives and girlfriends having sex with other women.
Whether they'd be pleased with this in reality, I dunno. It sure would freak me out if my wife were doing this for real--and even the fantasy image of it strikes me as pretty creepy, just as you feel at the notion of your husband having sex with a guy is creepy. I may be a minority here among straight males, but, hey, my wife is my wife, and our deal is respectful monogamy. Other people may have other tastes, and that's fine.
When I told my wife about the Hopkins study in the NYT a few years ago, she smiled and nodded her head as if she knew this all along--and why didn't the researchers simply ask some women!
