Let's face facts here: real life lesbians don't all look like Gina Gershon or Jennifer Beals, both of whom are in fact not gay in real life but have played smoking hot lezzies on screen. In fact, there are plenty of panty-chasing ladies who are not all that attractive to men at all. On the other hand, the lesbian community has churned out a few hotties to further fuel our fantasies of being a fly on the wall in the Great Hall of Dykes.

Tammy Lynn Michaels

If a man was faced with the daunting task of choosing between long-time girlfriends Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels, it would be an easy choice. Does anyone remember the show "Popular"? How about the schoolgirl unis from "D.E.B.S"? Michaels is in. Her folk-rock singing lesbian lover? Out.

Lucy Liu

While she has never officially come "out" as a lesbian, this Charlie's Angel has kissed a few girls and told about it. Hmm... just the thought of Lucy and allegedly bi-sexual co-star Drew Barrymore on the set of "Angels" could be enough to drive a man insane... or at least pause for a moment while reading this article. It's ok, we'll wait.

Leisha Hailey

Of course, at least one of the stars of Showtime's "The L Word" had to show up on this list. Shit, we could have just made a list of the five hottest chicks from "The L Word", but Hailey clearly rises up as the hottest. She's got that "If I were straight, I would f**k your brains out" look to her, and we can dig that.

Kristanna Loken

Not only did she beat the piss out of Ahh-nuld in "Terminator 3", Kristanna also is rumored to have knocked boots with Michelle Rodriguez in real life. In the fantasy re-inactment that I have played back in my mind, many a bedside lamp was broken in that little soiree. Loken may not be a full-on card carrying lesbo, having admitted to being intimate with a dude, but we won't hold that against her. We've got plenty of other things planned for that.

Portia de Rossi

Portia may sleep on the other side of Ellen Degeneres' bed, but that doesn't mean she hasn't got the goods. From her first days on "Ally McBeal" to her ditzy tirades on "Arrested Development", this girl-on-girlologist has always been able to distract us from everything else that is happening on screen. Now if only we could get her to start banging a chick who wasn't Ellen...
