Why would lesbians be interested in...[SPOILER, NSFW]

...realistic male phalluses?

I am a straight man, but as a film buff I have seen at least a dozen lesbian films, and have had several friendly lesbian acquaintances over the years, and I always thought lesbians were grossed-out by male sexuality.

Which is not the same as saying they hate men: the lesbians I have known have always been on friendly terms with me. But while it doesn't surprise me that they would use sex toys like vibrators, the idea that they would be interested in such realistic-looking penises confuses me. I don't have the impression, for instance, that gay men are interested in those realistic-looking vagina sex toys some straight men use.

Always found it hypocritical that lesbians can be grossed out by penises but if a straight guy is too, we’re called homophobic. 🤨

Haha, good point.

Though maybe lesbians aren't grossed out by them like I thought?

I tried asking about this, very respectfully, on Reddit and got banned by the sub dedicated to the movie. Yet even on an NPR podcast, the very progressive women discussing the movie said that they found this confusing (though they acknowledged that they themselves were not "queer" so maybe there was something they were missing).
