Ahem. Anyway, I definitely think that the 'forbidden love' thing is part of the equation, a sort of sense of 'other'.
After reading a lot of m/m and even after seeing all the cliches and the badly-written manpr0n, it still retains that sense of 'other' even though it's not new anymore... perhaps because it's not really in mainstream media and is something that only really abounds in fic.
