During the years in which this site existed, I have received many letters
from women who were married or had a heterosexual long term relationship
and defined themselves as heterosexual. Yet, they have suddenly felt a
strong attraction to a woman- a close friend or a colleague of theirs. By
the way, I have noticed that women often post in Internet forums on the
topic and ask ‘what should I do’. In most of these letters and posts, the
women claim that their husbands and friends accept their attraction to
women favourably. On the first place, I would like to state my personal
conviction that most (but not all) of the letters and posts are not quite
genuine. First, I doubt that if a woman shares with her husband or boyfriend that she has FEELINGS for another woman, he will accept the
relationship of his wife/ girlfriend as truly benign. This makes me think
that the woman has not explained to the man that there were FEELINGS
involved; she has just mentioned the primordial sexual attraction and
interest which had to be satisfied. Second, I am strongly convinced that
most of these letters and posts are written by men who pretend to be
women. Some try- to- be researchers and pseudo psychologists who attempt
to gather opinions and all kinds of other thrash. Third, there is the
group of women who just try to get a woman in their husbands` bed after
the husband has convinced them to try or they are just attempting to
diversify their monotonous heterosexual life.
But let us leave this topic for now and concentrate on those who ARE women
and who ARE sincere. I would take the risk and place my humble opinion
that some men don`t care about the side relationships of their women, and
some even find that erotic and a turn- on just because they don`t believe
that another women can threaten their relationship and take ‘their’ woman
away.
I cannot speak from personal experience, but my whole self convincingly
whispers that the feelings and heart of a lesbian who gets involved with
such a woman would be the last thing to care on the side of the couple. I
might sound suspicious, but I am absolutely convinced in what I said. And
what kind of a lesbian would like to get involved in a relationship in
which feeling do not matter?... I would not say what.
I read these letters and posts and I think of the relationships with men
I`ve had in the past. I cannot remember a single man who has made me feel
as if I was an object in an experiment. But I get exactly this feeling for
the women who ask me whether they would find a lesbian who will understand
or help them. And I wonder why do these women think that lesbians wait for
a single word or a call and are ready to jump in their beds? May be those
are women who don`t have even a vague idea what a lesbian is. They have
been influenced by the heterosexist patriarchal society and they have
accepted that a lesbian just means a women having sex with another woman…whatever kind of sex...whenever… with whoever… just the sex is
between two women. And sometimes even, lesbians are ready to accept a man
in their bed just to be with a woman. It is all so sad.
