It's the reason for Yaoi, and the times when Ho Yay is played intentionally for Fetish Fuel. Some authors adhere to this, or at least acknowledge its existence, and thus we get scenes of half-naked men wrestling in either mud or jello. In fiction, this philosophy may be treated in-universe as a full-on Spear Counterpart to Girl-On-Girl Is Hot, with the assumption being that it's normal for women to ogle gay men in the same way that straight men (supposedly) enjoy lesbian action. Just as often, though, there is a heavy Double Standard; straight men thinking Girl-On-Girl Is Hot will be taken for granted, whereas the female enjoyment of Guy-on-Guy will be treated as a perversion (See Yaoi Fangirl). Or, in the other direction, female characters will proudly declare their fascination with gay guys doing it while denouncing men who eroticise lesbians as exploitative perverts.
