Sexuality is built around male objectification of women (or her substitute)---men doing the objectifying and women having to deal with it via a array of responses which include both acceptance and rejection. Sex is a political act--or how women are made inferior and how men achieve dominance.

This hottest of takes is by far the best one. Apparently gay men are substitutes for women, and that's why gay men have sex. Nothing about lesbians though. Everyone knows they don't have a reason to exist.

The curse of being over-analytical. We can twist things in pursuit of ideas that please us or dispel some anxiety but have no foundation in reality.

To be fair, this is true of a lot of straight males. But OP clearly doesn't have an understanding of sexual orientation or arousal.

edit: OP mentioned the comphet essay. Explains a lot.
