While I have no idea if I'm more or less mainstream with my tastes, I do know that I am not the only straight-identifying woman who finds f/f smut erotic and m/m not so much. I suspect for similiar reasons. To project myself into the action, I need a proxy whose body I understand. If she happens to be exceptionally beautiful = so much the better!
Speaking only for myself, the two smut stories I've read in the last several months that have stuck with me longest, and informed my own fantasy life, are both f/f. I have a woman's body - obviously - and so reading about a female body in the throes of passion (or something close to it!) makes it very easy for me to insert myself into the action.
Two guys getting it on without a woman's body any where in the vicinity? I'm not entirely immune to the pretty, of course, but long lovely descriptions of what it feels like to have a cock aren't something that really captures my lizard brain. Who cares what 'having' a cock feels like, I'm far more interested in what a cock feels like inside a woman, from the woman's POV. *g*
As for tossing in f/f sex so fic will 'feel like slash' - I don't know. I'm not at all sure what slash is supposed to feel like....I do know that m/m leaves me irritated and cranky more often than not, so one of the things I like best about f/f is that it doesn't leave me feeling that way at all!
