Re: I kind of doubt it.

I wonder if the age demographic for a significant proporion of slash fic writers has some bearing on it?

25-44 is definitely a minority age group in most slashy fandoms I'm in. I'd say the majority of fic writers are 18-24 or thereabouts. Now I'm randomly curious about the stats for that age group, because on the one hand there's the argument that men are finding porn more and more accessible at a younger age, and so the demands they make of their girlfriends become influenced by the things they see (including M/F anal sex being standard procedure, almost always decpicted with zero prep at all).

Maybe I'm just old, but I'd sort of expect most 18 year old slash fic writers to be anal sex virgins, male or female. If it's 36% for the older age group, I'd expect it to be less for the younger group.

Agreed also about differences between what people experience, which is why I tend to look askance at "omg this was totally wrong, it was nothing like the way I do it!" complaints. I know men who need a serious amount of prep to get them ready, and some that haven't do it in years. Either of those groups would read a fic featuring the other thinking "This is nothing like my own personal experience!" but that doesn't make it incorrect.

This is the report I pulled the number from: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr036.pdf. They have data for both males and females from 15-44. For females from 15-17 it's 7%, 18-19 it's about 15%, and 20-24 it's about 30%.

Yeah, just because it's not in your experience doesn't mean it's wrong. If it seems at all plausible, it's probably happened to someone. Hell, sometimes even if it seems totally improbable, it's happened. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Interesting, thank you! Those stats definitely match both what I'd have guessed and my general (and probably limited) anecdotal evidence.

Related back to OP's secret, it... kind of stands to reason that most of the people writing fanfic about butt sex would not have had butt sex, and especially true of fandoms that skew younger. Considering general fannish demographics, I'm not sure what else they expected, really.
