I understand that people trafficking is a serious and ongoing problem, but to me, it is rape and slavery. It is such a serious issue that it deserves its own post, which is why I didn't mention it here. It demeans society, the scum who traffick them, and the sex industry as a whole.
The sex industry doesn't HAVE to be degrading and demeaning! While we certainly have a long way to go, the sex industry in Australia has made tremendous progress in fixing the things that are wrong.
And yes, I think you're right about the "undercover" fics: it's one of those fanfiction conventions where we all just nod and accept it. Which is one of those things that I adore about us as a community. It's like there's this vast unwritten agreement of "hey, just go with it", and everyone participates and has a good time!
Thank you for the link for "Gay Porn for Girls." I had read it before, and it's an interesting re-read.
