I really enjoyed reading this. I'm one of the people for whom 'what draws many readers/writers to the m/m is the tantalizing possibility of avoiding all the things I just talked about' holds true, but on the other hand I find m/f or f/f equally or more erotic (though maybe I'm just desensitised to m/m since I've read a lot more of it). I do see the appeal in exploring m/f issues, but probably have too much resentment at the very existence of some of those issues to really enjoy it. I might like it if I thought the woman was really strong enough to be the equal of the man. (Haven't seen LFN.)
Thanks for the reminder that many people in fandom, and life, aren't pre-programmed for slash!
