maybe naïve fascination with lesbian porn prior to coming out to oneself is actually quite common!

[cimorene]

cimorene: Eve was hot! I used to stare at pictures of her all the time. It's amazing the quantity of time I spent staring at mostly-unclothed women without realizing that I was a lesbian!
effex: I watched lesbian porn without realizing.
cimorene: ... HAHHAH... OMG, wait. I did too. There was this issue of Penthouse!

§§§

cimorene: So I said it's amazing how much I stared at naked women without realizing I was a lesbian and Effex said that she watched lesbian porn without realizing.
waxjism: Me too! Although it wasn't that hot. The women are scary.

So... maybe it's universal?

The thing is, I had my big earth-shattering realization before I consumed much porn at all - just a couple of months of reading slash, and not really anything visual.

I bet there's a significant quantity of queer women who were restricted from this only by lack of access to porn.
