But once more on the subject of porn in fandom or more specifically: Safe sex. Do they? Don't they? Should they?

Arguably fanfic is a great source of information for teen fan girls and boys and I feel we do have a very tiny duty to show them how it's done (sex, not the writing... well, maybe sometimes). Let's face it, there are a lot of stories out there that leave me dreading the state of sex ed. I actually have a vague recollection from a highschool biology class that you should always use a condom during anal sex, because that's just asking for all kinds of germs and microbes to get into places where they shouldn't be, but feel free to set me straight on that one.


SGA
I swear to God, no where in the Multiverse, do people forgo the condom as often as they do in Atlantis. (Yes okay, I bet they don't have condoms in Middle Earth or a galaxy far, far away (which is what got Padme in trouble in the first place), and maybe those kids in HP have some kind of anti-conception/STD spell, but I'm not really into those fandoms, so I can't be sure).

But Atlantis: It's not that they never use a condom. They do often enough. But in at least half the stories they just go: "Hey, we get all those post-mission check-ups. We're the cleanest people in the galaxy dude! Stick it in there!" (though hilariously John who may or may not be a himbo, depending who's writing him, has been known to catch something nasty from the locals. Usually to make him look like a slut and give Rodney a reason to be angry with him. Poor baby). 

Buffy
Alright, so I doubt you could catch either a baby or a disease from Spike or Angel (though a vampire spreading Aids by feeding is a horrifyingly good plot bunny that's probably been used already), but seriously! This is a fandom that has been known to describe its ejaculate as cold dead seed. EEEW! Use a damn condom!

Life on Mars
I honestly don't know how safe Sam and Gene are in fandom, but somehow I can't imagine the Guv walking into a store to buy condoms, let alone lube! I bet they use olive oil or something (unless Sam does the shopping).

I-man
Good ol' I-man. A fandom where the main character canonically couldn't have sex without turning invisible, thus building up quicksilver poisoning faster and having to face some uncomfortable questions from his doctor (or go insane). Problem solved.

So, unless you're writing highlander, be safe. And if your writing LOTR, please let your damn elf catch something embarrassing from their rouge human lover! It'll be hilarious!
