I don't find m/m squicky, just completely non-erotic. I read m/m slash and can enjoy it for many reasons (the writing, the dialogue, the interactions between characters, etc.), but I have never found (and I suspect will never find) it hot. I don't know why. It's not from any lack of appreciating good-looking men, because I certainly do. I don't know what it's from -- and I confess to having been really very surprised and quite taken aback to find out just how many women (judging by fandom) *do* find it erotic. It's like suddenly finding out I'm colorblind and have spent my entire life unknowingly being unable to see the color green. I can't necessarily stop being colorblind, but it's very enlightening and quite fascinating to discover that others don't see the world the way I do.

Wow. What a gorgeous way of explaining it. Because, yeah, slash doesn't do it for me? Doesn't mean it's bad or icky or whatever... just that it doesn't push my particular buttons.

I love your analogy to being color-blind. I do love green, though (trees, etc), can we make it, oh, beige or purple or something? *g*
