Recently I mentioned in my blog that I want to write a sexual scene with lesbians. Yes, you heard me right. I said lesbians! Now, this is quite a challenge as I am definitely a homosexual male. However, I appreciate love in all of its various forms. I've even written a straight scene. Now one might ask, "Why would an author at GA be interested in writing about lesbian love?" There are several reasons actually. Human sexuality is uniquely human. Only one other creature on this entire planet has sexual desires beyond procreation. That would be dolphins for anyone who is wondering. However, I am not a dolphin, so there's not much sense in writing about them. Lesbians are often thought of as sexual objects to straight men, especially in porn, and that's such a shame. They're otherwise portrayed as being masculine when many, if not most, lesbians are no different from other women except for the fact that they love and make love to other women. I believe representing our sisters, lesbians, as the beautiful and sensual women that they are is very important. Beyond that, lesbians have faced many of the same prejudices as we have and being minimized in many ways, even by gay men, which is just plain sad. In the early years of the gay movement, lesbians were often the victims of sexism by gay men who would make comments like, "Woman, why don't you go bake me some cookies." Quite frankly, that's totally messed. Even at that, lesbians were at the forefront in the 80's when so many gay men were dying of AIDS by the thousands. The scene I want to write is to be beautiful, because that's the way they deserve to be portrayed, and I accept nothing less as an author.
I cannot quite say how the lesbian scene fits in, because I don't want to spoil it at all. What I can say is that I would appreciate some input, especially from bisexual woman and maybe some lesbians who may be hanging around. Actually, any input would be appreciated. This is definitely not going to be easy, but I believe I can write a beautiful scene with some good input from my fellow members and especially authors.
