Do you think that the proportion of sex-and/or-romance fics is much higher than the proportion of sex-and/or-romance popular songs? I have long thought that they are about the same (i.e. "most"), and therefor that "why so little genfic?" doesn't really need to be answered. Or rather, that the answer isn't about fiction or fandom, but about human nature (or possibly just about our culture in general).
In other words:
1. People like sex & romance a *lot*.
2. Most sources don't have as much sex & romance as people like.

3. Thus, fanfic is mostly about sex & romance.
I don't even know if we need step 2.
