Well, as an earlier poster said up the thread, if in one's real life the diaphragm is hurtling unexpectedly across the room due to the clumsiness of one or both participants, a little perfect sex in fanfic can be nice to escape to.
On the other hand, overly perfect sex does make the characters seem more like porn stars than like people with inner lives. So: I guess what I like best in a fic is pretty damn good sex with occasional stylized gestures towards imperfection. Misplaced elbows, yes. Embarrassing slurping noises during a blow job, sure. One participant zoning out to write his/her dissertation in his/her head during the climactic moment: no. Give me a few fantasies to cling to; this is after all my fantasy life.
