As someone who is openly and actively bi-sexual and has been involved in relationships with other women I can say Ive never found the majority of men to be overly fascinated by lesbians per se. What Ive found is that when men think of lesbians they tend to have a very fantasy driven image of them or, as a friend so neatly put it, "its not the idea of just two women together that turns me on, its the idea of two 'hot' women together'. I dont think your average, garden variety lesbian really makes a sexual appearance on the straight male radar. Rather its the porn variety - slim, big tits, tanned, toned etc- that seem to be their turn-on.
None of the men I know would be at all interested in seeing any of the gay women I know,'getting it on'. However, if you told them that Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek or two other equally attractive women were gay, thats another matter altogether.

Wow,great post,Leah. There was a Seinfeld episode that referred to female "cat fights" (pardon the phrase). And that guys were always turned on by that prospect. One of the characters said that guys felt that way because there might be a chance that the women would kiss after the fight. It's amazing how the male fantasy apparatus is so creative. I think this is true of how we think about lesbians having sex.
Also I think many straight guys have a hard time with gay male sex because they (we) can't imagine themselves having sex with any guy they know, or even more with a guy who looks like us! What if the guy looks like Brad Pitt? B)
