As you are the person who I consider to be the community's expert on gender and sexuality studies, what do you think of the idea of writing a wedgie story where the gender of the protagonist is never identified. It's been done in novels like "Written on the Body" but in wedgie fetish fiction when many people need to be able to visualize the person giving and/or getting the wedgie, do you think it will still be arousing if there is that ambiguity? And by extension, if one characters gender is never specified, could all the characters be unidentified? Or would this just come off strange? How would I even do it for all the characters? The protagonist can tell the story in first person, and I guess they could use gender neutral names. But is that OK?
And a more general question, how do you think a greater level of gender/sexual diversity can be communicated in stories. Is it enough to have a character that is non-binary?

Short answer: yes, I think that would work well.
Long answer: I actually think ambiguity can work to the advantage in erotica. Readers tend to get particularly excited when reading erotic content as as a result tend to start visualizing characters on their own. I think excessive details on a character's body can even hurt writing. I think gender and certainly genitalia fall into that category as well. That is to say, I think a story can stand on its own quite well without specifying gender because every reader can envision a character to the gender of their preference.
Incidentally, that's where I think the gender/sexuality commentary actually comes in. Gender doesn't determine body. What significance does it have to anyone's sexual attraction? Body type? Genitalia? Plenty of wedgie stories never mention genitalia. Plenty of cis men and cis women have body types associated with the "opposite" gender. So when gender IS specified what purpose does it serve? Does every use of the word "she" just a way to remind the readers that the character has a vagina? In High Velocity, Dr. Catalyst has a vagina (I've even referenced it before in text) despite using "he" pronouns, and yet heterosexual readers tend to prefer the "she" characters getting wedgies. Does that make sense?
In terms of greater levels of sexual/gender diversity, I think we can always be approaching that. Non-binary character inclusion is important, but other trans characters as well. Trans men and trans women are certainly underrepresented. Trans characters in different kinds of relationships are also important; people seem to think it's impossible for a cis person to be in love with a trans person. Or intersex characters: intersex people make up about 0.5% of the population but I don't think a single intersex person has appeared in any wedgie story, including mine.
All in all though, caution must be exercised when striving for diversity in a fetishized context. You always run the risk of sexualizing the demographic in an appropriative way. For instance, most trans representation in visual porn is terrible for a myriad of reasons. I sometimes wonder whether my attraction to trans men is a fetishization of that kind of person. Is that better than fetishizing a race? Is that worse that fetishizing a gender (like say, straight women fetishize men and vice versa)? I don't know for sure, but they're cautions worth having.

That's interesting and quite enlightening thank you for this.
There has been, in some of my stories, a greater level of ambiguity, than others, and because I do not value physical descriptions as much as some people, and abhor simplistic, reductive and purely objectifying descriptions such as "big bubble butt" or anything elementary like that. A lot of times my descriptions have been relatively vague for the reasons you shared, that I would rather imagine the character, and allow readers to do the same. I don't ever use words describing genitalia in any of my stories, perhaps because those words were always associated with things people just didn't talk about. The most I do say is butt. Some stories do have some very graphic depictions of sex (Bloom225 is one popular example) but that has never been my thing. I try to imply certain things but only in the vaguest way. But hearing that I can try to move further along the spectrum to a greater level of ambiguity is exciting, so thank you.
As far as I know there has not been a wedgie story with someone who identifies as intersexual (the only novel I've read featuring someone who is intersexual is "Annabel.") That would be an interesting story. Of course I'd want to be respectful and accurate in my attempts to tell stories (fictionalized though they may be) with wedgies incorporated in. I suppose then another question might be whether its OK, that me, someone who is not intersexual, (or any of the many sexual orientations) to be writing a story about them. Or could this be considered a form of appropriation?
I appreciate your eloquence and the fact you took the time to answer this. I learned quite a lot, thanks again.

Like I said, there's certainly a line there. I'd recommend against writing characters or radically different life experiences representative of real ones without either speaking to someone with those experiences or doing extensive research on it.
For instance, a common character trait in fantasy/action stories (less so wedgie ones) is PTSD, yet it is dangerous for a writer to do this without having full knowledge of what PTSD is. Especially since there are a myriad of materials out there to educate oneself on the experience.
For my part I write about nonbinary characters, trans men, and trans women because I have several close friends of those identities. Conversely, I try to avoid writing blind or deaf characters because until I do the proper research on them I'm not confident in my ability to represent them. Does that make sense?

Those are again excellent points eloquently made. Sorry about the delayed response on my part, but I truly appreciate you taking the time to discuss this with me and educate me on this. I think research makes sense, especially when you care about the stories you're telling and the reality you want to capture and show to people. I've been thinking about writing a character who has a wedgie fetish and is blind but thinking now that rendering that character in a way that would be true to the experience of being blind would be difficult, no matter how nice the writing is, if I don't really understand the experience. You've given me a lot to think about. Thank you.
