Brought to you from too little sleep

I had 4 hours sleep last night, if I was lucky. I went to bed after 4 am, tossed and turned, and woke up at 9 am. I am not tired now, so a question?

Why do traditionally dressed, maybe even middle aged (only if you are), straight women write slash?

Ok, on your marks, discuss

Oh, honey. So many reams have been written on this subject. And I'm sure you will get many more reasoned responses than mine.

Me, I like the dollar bill theory, which I first found on thebratqueen's LJ, although I'm not sure she invented it.

One dollar bill? Good! Two dollar bills? BETTER!

I feel just the same about dick :)

Interesting question.

Now, I don't write slash, but I sure like to read it, if it involves the right characters. There was a time I didn't want to read anything *but* slash (and OK I read gay porn and erotica but same ballpark).

As for why? It was different. Something appealed to me about beautiful men getting it on.

Bad answer, but after I started typing I realized I didn't really have one.

I like boy bits, the more the merrier.

Mmm femmeslash, boy slash, het... I read it all :) As long as the story is good, that's what matters.

One boy is good, two is even better. Three? Woohoo!

The same with girls. The more the merrier.

Maybe it's because I swing both ways, but I always enjoyed het and femmeslash too. But most stories are boy slash. Not that I'm complaining :)

Beats me. Porn of all kinds bores me silly.

I write Dru with the boys. But, it's mostly, Spangel for several reasons.

1) I can't stand Buffy's character anymore with the boys.
2) Don't really care about real life sex given my history with it (you know what I mean, hopefully), so I write a better version of it using Spangel.
3) The boys are just too great together when you see the foreplay of fighting.
4) There's more but can't rattle them off here.
