>>41513060You see. BL for a lot of women is escapism. Usually, it's because they're lesbian but don't realize it. But for straight women it's often cuz they're youths afraid of heterosexual sex and may find fear in vaginal penetration because it's a man dominating a woman. They don't necessarily self insert as the seme but use him as a vessel to see the uke- the guy they're actually attracted to- in a submissive position. Eventually when women mature and gain sexual experience they get over this mindset(unless they had a bad experience) because they have a more realistic understanding of how it works and feel more in control of their sexuality.
Adult women who still read BL just go "woah I love chocolate, and I love TWO chocolate bars!" and don't really care about the projection shit.
