Dear readers of Rupert's Read; One thing I am pleased about about this blog is that when we have had debates or disagreements here, they have virtually always been good-tempered. Because the norm out there in the blogosphere is often not like that. Take 'Comment is Free', for example, on the Guardian Unlimited site: the level of debate on CIF is pretty awful, frankly, in terms of civility. It is a very unpleasant place to take part in any debate, generally, unless perhaps (as most commenters do) one hides behind the veil of anonymity (which 'ain't allowed' here). And the truth is, in case any fellow commenters reading this don't realise it, that there are many many people who get put off even reading (let alone posting to) CIF because of the volume of plain nasty comments that they risk getting, when they do.

I also find your reference explaining why some hetero men are disgusted by homosexuality in other males very interesting. I wonder if this can be transferred to a hetero woman's view towards lesbians. Again this is only from my experience, but I have found that women are more judgemental towards lesbians than they are gay men. Could this be because, as hetero women, to find another female attractive is unacceptable?
On my hypothesis, yes, thoroughly-straight women would be more likely to be turned on by - or at least to find acceptable - male gay sex than lesbian sex. Because they dont/cant find themselves anywhere in lesbian sex. They would be less likely than straight men however to be deeply repelled by lesbian sex than such men are by male gay sex: because they wont be being penetrated. They would be more likely to be somewhat indifferent to it.
I think that these predictions of my model fit what you say, and the facts as I understand them, fairly well. :-)
