I wrote a Lesbian love story. I based it on life experiences, relationships and Lush stories. I personally believe that when it comes to love/friendship relationships that there are only human friendship/relationships not separate categories of gay, straight, transgenders or lesbian. Hear me out because I want to ask a question but would like to pose it with some context.
I feel how you love and who you love is your business. The feelings we have for each other have no artificial boundaries limited by orientation. When I see two woman in love with each other I don't doubt that love. When I interact with the gay couple next door I don't see their marriage "without state consent" as any less real than any other. Reading lesbian stories on Lush seems to provide enough validation of my thoughts that I felt I could write a credible love story between two woman within an erotic context.
My context is within the area of what is human and unique to all of us as humans, not anything cultural which is totally different.
What do you think about the "other" writing about experiences they may not be able to truly know? Can it be credible?

Lesbian and Gay Love Stories By The Other

I've written quite a few lesbian stories, even though I've never done anything more than barely kiss another woman. It's up to the readers to judge how well I've done it. If you write, you write. I don't imagine Dean Koontz has ever gone on a killing spree, but he sure writes about them well. It's VERY credible.

Can I just ask - should a person not be able to write stories about other-gendered
I regret writing that comment, as it looks like I'm on the defensive and criticising the critic - I wish I could delete it, but there you go.
Anyway, here's what I wrote in response - am I wrong? Here was the comment left on my story "a night to remember":
And my reply was:
That's just my thoughts on it.

sorry i think only girls should write lesbian stories.
And my reply was:
As I made clear right at the top, the story itself was driven by ideas from a woman. She gave me the names, the scenario, the boundaries etc.
You also have to remember that for men, a lesbian scenario might play out very different in the mind than in reality. When two pretty straight girls kiss to a roar of approval from the men in a nightclub, we know they're "playing to the audience" and have no intention of going further.
We want to imagine they will, and the story is our fantasy.
In reality, most of the time, lesbian couples don't quite fit the fantasy!
There's no offense intended by that, by the way. If fantasy was reality, none of us would be here... all the men would be in bed with 6 blonde lesbians and the women would be all on a desert island with a tall handsome stranger!
That's just my thoughts on it.
