Early SV fic was often either explicitly concerned with the age of consent (or the then-in-effect ban on homosexual conduct in Kansas) or aged the characters up a bit. Specific stories, and I think SV fandom more generally, engaged with the question of whether it's legitimate for a 21-year-old to fuck a 15-year-old -- I remember one story in particular where Lex had already gotten in trouble for sexual conduct with a minor. Fandom, while certainly oversexualizing and using the "everyone's gay!" fantasy with a vengeance, was also more honest about teen sexuality than the official texts.
