The big conversation is about why straight women are such fans of it and MM romance. The top answer? Because it explores male love and sexuality in ways most het romance doesn't. Even the sex scenes had them checking with each other on if what they were doing was ok, if it felt ok,etc- something you rarely see in het romance and it's something most women wish would happen irl.
