But hey, at least I'm doing it over here in my own lj, where one has to come seek it out, instead of in the original comm thread, where I long to post this.
Upon reflection, what irks me about the original post is this: I have been reading gay porn (as opposed to slash fic) since my early teens, and watching gay porn since my days in XF fandom a decade ago, when I first met adults willing to acquire it for underaged fans. I can't count how many times I've seen the inaccuracies the OP mentions as ignorant and annoying in slash fic appear in written and visual gay porn.
To whit: Spit becomes sufficient lubricant, and then both parties happily fuck away. The lengthy preparation and stretching interlude is glossed over entirely and both parties happily fuck away, or no literary or visual reference is made to lubrication or preparation whatsoever, and both parties happily fuck away.
I have likewise yet to see shitstains on a condom or bedsheet, or nastiness lurking beneath an unwashed foreskin, and quite a bit of gay porn does indeed feature anal penetration as the ultimate sexual act (though orgasm is usually shown via money shots in VAs).
What this leads me to believe is that gay men are often as uninterested as female slash writers in getting the mechanics correct. Of course, I'm aware of watersports and shitplay porn and so forth, but the fact that the run-of-the-mill Falcon stuff tends toward masturbation-to-blowjob-to-anal-penetration doesn't argue for much difference in what it is about gay sex that turns gay men and female slashers on.
Which makes the OP's cries of "I wish you ignorant (female) slashers would get it right!" sound a whole lot like "I'm a gay man and you aren't," with the intimation that this somehow grants mortifyd superiority over female slashers. Of course, the OP might refuse to watch any gay video that glosses over lubrication and stretching, or to read any gay novella in which the characters have a flawless penetration experience on their first trial run, but somehow I doubt it. His objections smack of "you shouldn't be playing in my playground" or perhaps, "you aren't playing in my playground the way I want you to." And I think it's this fundamental dishonesty that cranks me more than anything else.
