Gay guys who watch straight porn

If this is just curiosity about sexuality then I'll add some thoughts, though I'm a gay woman (and not all gay women would answer as I would).
First, I've indulged in very little porn and erotica, and plenty of times was more out of curiosity. Strangely, even a drawing of 2 clothes lovers staring into each other's eyes can be more a turn on to me than footage of people engaged in some mechanical sex act (especially if those doing it for the camera look like they're there more for the paycheck than the experience). (I'll also add that some straight porn for males that advertises itself as extremely wild comes off as unimaginative and bordering on vanilla to me...and I HATE it when a porn story preaches at me, at least seems to, as a couple have done. One was about a guy who pushes his wife to have sex with another man and when she finally does he can't stand the sight of her, and there was some dialog about how love should only be between two people, apparently sex only for love, and I was like WTF that this was even in a porn story.)
As for the porn and erotica I've enjoyed, the GENERAL (with exceptions) that I've enjoyed has been done by women for women...be it gay or straight. (Interesting enough, I freaked out at 13 when I stumbled across hardcore porn mags that included lots of motor oil being involved, and yet it was much more acceptable when I saw a lesbian version of that in On Our Backs though it came with a story, was black & white rather than in garish colors, the women looked like real people who were enjoying the experience, and I was an adult.) I'd literally rather see straight porn aimed at women than lesbian porn aimed at men, because the lesbian porn for men almost always leaves me cold, and tends to be awkward at best.
I know some point out that about the Japanese comic art of gay male lovers that appeal to women, but that's mostly written by women for women. Another type is written mostly by men for men and it's flavor is very different. There are exceptions in that a few women prefer the kind aimed at men and vice versa, but those are the exceptions. (I read through some of the gay erotica of gay males aimed at women and at first I didn't realize it was 2 guys as one was so feminine, including in being significantly smaller than the dominant male, and it pretty much followed a romance formula. It was only after the clothes came off that I realized it was 2 guys.)
That said, one straight woman (with bi tendencies) told me she prefers the gay male porn for gay males as the men in it are hotter than in any other type of porn and "they get right to it." I believe she's already very horny when she likes to masturbate to it though, and thus doesn't need to be heated up first, she's finding it hard to hold off so just wants it as it's made for men, without a lot of rigamarole building up to the payoff.
As for me, I notice I have sympathetic reactions. If a man or woman is sexually aroused, then my own body has a sympathetic response. That doesn't mean I'll want to bang a sexually aroused guy, but I will be horny all the same.
Though I don't mind sex with males (I especially like it when a woman gets turned on watching), I just can't fall in love with them. No male has ever broken my heart, I don't think it's possible (at least not in the romantic sense). But when I was 17 I was a lot more experimental, and I had a sexual fantasy involving both David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson (I hope they don't read this :redface: ). Though it's very rare, I've been aroused by the thought of 2 men at once...not in any romantic sense, it's purely erotic.
It's possible that this originated from an experience when I was 15. I got high with many other kids and one had the idea that we should all give each other a hickey necklace. The rule was that EVERYONE give a hickey to everyone else, no chickening out. And in that room packed with horny boys and girls, we did. Luckily it didn't go further (though I'm wistful that it didn't) as I don't think I'd have had the willpower to stop myself if it had given how powerful my lusts were at that moment, spurred on by hickies that included getting them from 2 at the same time (boy/boy, boy/girl, girl/girl), just as I gave hickies to everyone else with another (and compulsively running my hand over him/her and the one I was nibbling neck with). And plenty of times as my lusts burn their brightest I remember that incredible moment of my life, with images of how I wished it had gone further with all of them, male and female, and remembering that seems to make my current lusts even stronger still.
I'd really love to understand sexuality so much more. It's mind boggling that funding for research into sexuality (at least outside very strict limits) is hard to get when sexuality is so central to what it is to be human. Even fetuses (male and female) masturbate! Society needs to get over its lingering vapors over it and look at it much more seriously rather than pretending it's tangential to who and what we are...especially as some forms of sexuality that just beg an answer on how it came about.
