Well yes, gay fiction is quite different from slash, but I think that the conclusions drawn in that book can apply also to the female readers of gay fiction. The book (a short essay, actually) is more of a study of psychology, of the differences between male/female psychology and of eroticas. The subject of slash comes up only in the last two chapters. Besides, the book came out in 2003, when gay fiction was not as popular as nowadays. I don't know if there are other (and more recent) books about the reasons why female readers like gay fiction: this is the only one I found...
