Getting turned on by men and being attracted to them goes hand in hand.

No, it doesn't - there's certainly correlation, but they're not the same thing.

Let me demonstrate - think of straight porn. Usually has a man and a woman. Guys that watch such porn usually like the man having a particularly large penis... why? They're turned on by it, but they aren't remotely attracted to the guy. Instead, they're turned on by the idea of being that guy, picturing themselves having that big penis and doing those particular acts. And so, the guy being there, with his penis, is essential to their being turned on, but there's no attraction to the guy.

It generalises - there are people who are turned on by the idea of it happening to them, people who are turned on by the idea of being with someone like that, and people who are purely turned on in a voyeuristic way. It is inadequate to categorise them all the same way without looking at the nature of the fetish.
