As a teen/young person, I used to find the supposed allure of the lesbian a huge turn-off; contrary to other young louts in my approximate age bracket, I recognized that they wouldn't want anything to do with me sexually and so there wasn't any point in chasing that particular forbidden fruit. It was like a signpost, proclaiming "You're not welcome here, this is not for you".

...I seem to be liking it a bit more these days, for somewhat obvious reasons.

I can also remember having a strong "No, that's not right" reaction when doing RP scenes online in partial girlmode with another girl and having it described as a lesbian scene. I think I was forbidding myself from acknowledging that there was something to all this roleplay-as-feminine stuff, because clearly I was "a guy".

In the same way that I obviously was "straight" because I liked girls growing up and therefore couldn't be into guys.
