So interesting that you think the sexin' over here is uniformly hawt. I can't speak to most of the fandoms you talked about, but I generally find BSG sex to be some of the tamest stuff out there. Written well for the most part but pretty standard stuff. (Especially in comparison to HP, land of debauchery, bdsm, orgies, incest and just all sorts of, ahem, magically enhanced nakenfuntime.
I do think that the vanilla is reflective of an UST laden ship on screen, with little actual physical fulfillment and lots of hurt feelings and, you know, dealing with genocide. So that when they do get together, there's intensity but not a whole lot of creativity. Because it's such a relief to get them there and get them off, as it were. The hotness is fulfilled by the act itself as opposed to the trappings.

And I haven't read that one. I'm not really a fan of those pairings. I'm a Harry/Ron, Hermione/Fred/George, Kingsly/Percy, Draco/Snape (or Draco/Snape/Lucius (I know, I know)), Voldemort/Wormtail kind of girl.) But I love to read the kink. So it's been very much a PG-13 experience. A fun one! I'll admint to being a person who gets easily impatient and skips over sex scenes when they're too prolonged - whether on a bed or a flying trapeze
That's funny that you edited it out, but yeah, I totally understand the compulsion over here. I get monstrously bored writing sex scenes, so I have a tendency to keep it simple, but even so, I have second guessed before posting in this fandom where I haven't in others.

Really? Because a of a perception of prudishness? Or just a fear that that particular brand of sexin (whatever it may be) won't be liked/appreciated, etc.?

For example: A certain kind of innocence creates a misunderstanding for the more hard core elements of domination and submission which, in turn, would create a misunderstanding on the very nature of both roles in a fic with a clearly submissive/domninant relationship, especially if it were Kara put in the role of the submissive. I think there are submissive and dominant charecteristics in both of them, so you play it either way and I'd buy it providing it's well thought out (I have no patience for badly written and gratuitous power exchange). However, having been in the fandom long enough to know which way the wind blows, it isn't worth the aggravation and explanation and the multiple assurances that, no, writing a character as a submissive does not mean that you think that character is weak or less somehow.
Does that make sense?

and now I'm like..... ok, my mind is black. and all of me is hurting because of all the laughing.
What’s that one fic where Kara is all like, “Oh, no, I can’t come from getting licked off; I’m not that into it”, and Lee is all like, “Betch, let me show you how this shit is done”, and then there’s hot licking and Kara coming apart and alkja;lkj;alskj!!!!! YES YES YES!!! And then later she reciprocates and face frakking and oh gods!!!!
i don't know the name but i think that I remember that one. When KAra says that I was like - Girl, don't be crazy... he's good at this, trust me, I KNOW - from all the other fics where this happened.
Some fangirls are said to have tracked down said shards of glass and used them to slit RDM’s throat. if they didn't I'll make sure ( ... )

I love how our quasi-intellectual tone has just gone straight to hell today.
