I'm not sure what the motivation is to post some of these stories as "gen" but I read quite a few of them as "kink" stories, because they really are like D/s stories and bondage fantasies. I mean, take the GDP series, by Susan Foster, there are quite intricate display positions, leashings, punishments and such, and whatever it is for the characters, I *read* it as kink.

But I totally get why a gen archive has problems with stories that have bonding scenes like the ones in Susan Foster's "Cry of the Panther" that are even structured exactly like a typical slash sex scene, and sentences like "Warmth flooded through them both curling up from their stomachs, like a crashing wave as the link came alive in a blaze of emotion." and they even worry that they are going to be stuck together when they don't clean up, so really whether the characters think they have sex or not (and can believe AU settings where the characters wouldn't classify whatever sexual things they do as "sex", I mean, after all there are also people who don't think oral sex is sex...) it's not the kind of interaction that you expect when following a link in a gen archive.
