I find that I am far more likely to write rough sex/belligerent sexual tension/people being loving assholes to each other if the characters are the same sex.

I suspect that there is so much baggage in traditional m/f pairings that when writing them I just want people to be sweet to each other, end of story. With same sex pairings, even if there are power dynamics in the story, the power dynamics are ~different~. I feel more comfortable getting edgy there.

So I can see where OP is coming from.

This so hard. I actually didn't get into slash pairings for like my first ten years in fandom, and when I finally did, the main thing that made me realize I might never go back to het was how much more free I felt to be edgy with slash. And I don't mean that I was self-policing my taste in het, I mean I literally just couldn't enjoy anything more than a tiny bit edgy for my het ships. I'd just get squicked and/or want to flip a table whenever shit got edgy.
