I haven't really seen the self-lubricating anuses thing unless it's in stuff being sporked on communities like weepingcock. :-)

But then, I am in a fandom where fanon makes just about everyone hermaphroditic, so maybe we're guilty of something similar by just giving the dudes vaginas.

*shrug*

The crying thing though I'm torn about. On the one hand, I do think that some fics get gooshy and *~*~*emotional*~*~* in unrealistic (or very unsexy) ways. And there's a definite preponderance of tears in yaoi -- I'd say I've seen less in slashfic, personally, but I do think some people are fans of both so there's probably some cross-pollination.

And I have heard some things that give credence to the idea that women actually do cry more. I've heard some trans men say they cry less when on testosterone, and some trans women say estrogen made them more prone to weep when emotional than they used to be. So I'll even grant that there's a biological element that would make men less prone to tears.

But even given all that, sometimes when I hear "men cry too much in these stories" I still look askance. Because it's also a cultural thing to say that men don't cry -- and a cultural thing to look down on men deemed too feminine. And what's crying a sign of? Too much femininity.

Which leaves me torn. Because if it's "You're a girl, so you write your men like girls. You need to expand your imaginative horizons a bit so you can write men more realistically" I'm okay with that. But if it's "Men don't cry like that, jesus!" then it starts to shade a bit to me into judgments that make me uncomfortable.

So... for me personally, sometimes it's complicated.

I have *never* seen the self lubricating holes thing. Seriously, I've been doing this since 1999 what am I doing *wrong*? (Or right!)

I think the self-lubing anus is rarer than many people describe it as being.

Now, fic full of horribly unfortunate substances used as lube, or people using no lube without mention of consequence... all that's another matter entirely.

I have seen in the horrifically underage yaoi pairings. Like, stereotypically uke/seme pairings that abound in anime fanfic and have spread to other fandoms sporadically by young girls (or, less commonly, boys) fascinated by sex, both irl and in fic.

It is very rare, but I've seen it. And it has always been the least of the horrors in the stories I've seen it in.
