Thanks for the link and these are great questions!!!
I'm wondering, though, whether movies like Kids or MTV documentaries where 12 and 13 year olds discuss blowjobs (saw it at a conference and can't remember the title) do much more to shape cultural norms than a highly stylized, clearly metaphorical PP story (or, even more stylized, yaoi fic). Or, to follow darkrosetiger's argument, the fact that the kids interviewed in Kids and that documentary are already having sex?
I mean, I agree that there are ideas that I remember shocking me years a ago that now are quite run of the mill or even turn me on...but I can't say whether that's me growing up/general cultural exposure/specifically fanfic related...
