Onward with the GFY: part 2

[ back to part one ]
In part one, I went over a bunch of the social pressures exerted on women in re sexuality, and took a break right after I'd reached the point of seeing how well men coming to a point of (homo)sexuality maps neatly onto the route women take in becoming sexual beings. That's got to play some role, I think, in what makes the m/m genre so attractive for many women readers, albeit sub/unconsciously. ( ...but that's hardly the entire picture. Now, onto the exciting (well, if you think word count makes for exciting) conclusion! However, I can at least promise a happy ending. )
