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.
