I suppose I should mention that "rationalist clopfic" is now a Cards Against Rationality white card. For those in the Bay Area, the game will be played at the Mountain View meetup this coming Tuesday ...

Why is it that humans in equestria fics VERY FREQUENTLY involve the visiting human having sex with a native?

My guess is that the folks writing the clopfic are human-identified and fantasize about equines.

(Sorry, I don't actually read clopfic, so I don't have much to offer here.)

I said "involve the human having sex" not "include explicit scenes where the human has sex". There's plently of stories where sex happens and is ackniwledged, but not dwelled on. Most of them, in fact.
