I've noticed that while the yaoi fans are really bad about being coy, there will be the ones who write straight fanfic or whatnot who, rather than sort of peeking through the curtains about what they're writing, will attempt to justify it as some sort of thought exercise.
"Well, a great number of fans felt that the scene in the book where the annoying, useless heroine is captured by orcs for all of five minutes before she's rescued by the unstoppable killing machine that is the hero robbed the story of any true dramatic tension and failed to explore the possible repercussions of such a situation that a more thoughtful story might provide. The following is an attempt to flesh out the story and provide additional characterization and pathos by saying 'What if she got stuffed full of orc-cock instead?'"
Of course, I must admit that my sympathies are with them a little bit. People who write noncon adult-male-on-nonadult-male fanfic will still savage the holy hell out of someone that writes noncon adult-male-on-adult-female, it's possible this is simply a learned protective reflex.
I've been occasionally tempted to write my own "thought experiment", but as an actual experiment. First writing a story where a tough, virile guy rapes a straight guy, and it turns the straight guy into a moaning, pleading little cock-hungry subby. Then, once the reviews to that start coming in, write a story where a tough, virile guy rapes a lesbian, and it turns the lesbian into a moaning, pleading little cock-hungry subby, and see what happens with the reviews then.
