I would like to wholly concur with everything that you say in your 'pet peeves' article, as well as the blog entry by Wheezer. However, as much as I also wince at some of the fallacious content of stories, let us not forget that, rightly or wrongly, these stories concern peoples' sexual fantasies.
The caveat should surely be that something is lacking in sexual education if individuals rely on on these and other fictions for their enlightenment; where sexual knowledge becomes a game of Chinese Whispers, with reality becoming distorted with each new telling.
