Not completely true. Most men are not disgusted by a lesbian couple. I don’t mean just men that fetishize about it. But many are disgusted or at least discomforted by seeing gay men being romantic.

Thought experiment: if a wife in a heterosexual marriage told her husband that she previously had relationships with women, I know many men (including me) who would just shrug and move on and not really think about it.

On the other hand, a man couldn’t just tell his wife most of the time that he slept with men before



Silly question, but on that last point, why? (I can't imagine, but I'm unimaginative.)


My guess is gender roles? Women don’t see gay men as “masculine” while men don’t see gay women as less feminine.
