Have there been any studies into this area? Do you know any that have been in this situation?

(I hope those questions don’t come across as me being a smartass, I sincerely and respectfully want to know for knowledge sake-thanks)

After reading the posts over again; a realization occurred in the fact my own thinking in this area is the same irritation I get when dealing or hearing someone who actions or beliefs are prejudice against an ethnic group, religious beliefs, or sex. I find such beliefs to be ignorant, and yet I’m there as well. To lower myself; I don’t seem to have any problem with lesbian erotica. So it appears it’s time for me to do a self inventory I suppose.

This is the first thread I wish I wouldn't have post. Although it’s provided me with thoughts to evaluate, I think the subject probably shouldn’t have been brought up now. Sorry if I offended anyone.
