I know that technically, there shouldn't be any stereotypical difference between the guy being fucked in the ass and the guy doing the ass-fucking, but in the past -- just a few decades ago, and even more strongly in previous centuries and millennia -- there was a stereotype that the receiving partner was the weaker or lower or "girl" half of the relationship.

Are there any fics out there set in the past that takes these attitudes into account?

Hmm, I've only read original semi-historical stuff that acknowledges that - usually the male characters are reluctant to have anal sex at all if they regard each other as equals in strength and age, so it's just a lot of blowjobs and various methods of friction (which I greatly appreciate).

I like slash scenes with more non-penetrative sex and different/creative ways for the characters to touch each other and demonstrate their feelings.

I'm not grossed out by descriptions of anal, necessarily, but I find other types of sex-scenes to be more interesting, much sexier, and less clichéd, plus it avoids all the baggage about roles and status that the OP mentioned, which is a major plus to me.

Plus, it's my understanding that not all gay men have anal sex, anyway, and there's maybe even a significant percentage who don't.

Anal sex scenes in fanfic have become very formulaic, like everyone's following the same template.

Another thing to think about: a lot of slashfics are about two male characters who previously considered themselves straight, and may still feel uncertain, nervous, and ambivalent about their attraction to each other. I don't think guys like that are going to have anal as their very first encounter. I think they'd be more likely to try something simpler and less intimidating.

Everything you said here is what I think every time two dudes in a fic act like anal their only possible sexual option. It's kind of sad how everything else is usually considered foreplay - mostly because of writers bringing their heterosexual biases to slash, I think. I especially agree with the last example. Although I did encounter a fic where the guy was cool with anal for his first time with a guy because he'd done pegging with women before...that was a nice change.

Yeah, I think other types of sexual contact, besides anal, are just downright sexy and enjoyable to read about, too.
