Like, I don’t think I have to explain how perfect an analogy lycanthropy is for a period, so why is it that the only real films exploring that are Ginger Snaps and maybe Turning Red if you stretch the definition. I get that there are female werewolves in media but they’re usually side characters with little depth.
I’d also say werewolves are typically presented as a masc thing, like the whole juvenile “dogs are boys, cats are girls” presentation in a lot of media, but even that could lead to some interesting storytelling with typically masc characters having to go through a very fem experience.
Please, we cannot let the only deep exploration of lycanthropy and sexuality in mainstream media be Joannas botched attempts to make it an analogy for aids and then have a character attack and infect children. So I guess this is a stupid question and a call for requests.
There is a whole genre of werewolf porn literature and the audience is primarily female. Lindsey Ellis did a couple of videos about this a few years ago.
That’s almost definitely of mostly make werewolves, not female ones like op is asking about
But dub con hetero and original mpreg Omegaverse fiction kind of answers some of the underlying questions that OP is asking.
The sexy werewolf in these stories exhibit certain traits which align with the male gender over the female gender. Outside of furry fiction, I don’t know what a woman werewolf taps into.
In contrast, vampires seem to be more gender balanced. There are a lot of stories out there of a woman vampire seducing an acolyte and her being a woman can be part of the story and not distract from the allure.
