    I never really understood that. Is it because I'm not a native speaker or because I'm not hip and cool enough?

    Urban dictionary: "lemon"

    An anime/manga or (anime/manga) based fan-work that depicts sexual acts.
    Often shortened to simply "Lemon", the term is actually derived from a hentai anime in 1984, "Cream Lemon", which told a story about a girl called Ami and her relationships.
    Since then "Lemon" has been used to refer to all sexually-oriented fanworks, in particular fan-fiction. ​

    Why?

    Do you often search for fics about the yellow fruit and then get annoyed when it turns out the story is about two people having sex?

    Well it's kind of torture. Forced repeated use that is. It's not exactly high end torture though.

    You know the Chinese Water Drip torture? They strap you down and drip cold water on your forehead. People break like in hours, without them touching you. Just innocent water droplets falling on your head...

    Also, usually when this is done, it's the author forcing the sex scene into the story, which is not even worth reading, since most authors aren't even able to write it very well. It reads like a teenager narrating their non-existent sexual prowess.

    So you're annoyed by people providing clear warnings about what they will find inside?

    Severe can be interpreted differently by people. However most would probably agree that causing unsanctioned pain in any form is torture regardless.

    I don't know, making someone write with their own blood for hours seems pretty severe. It's not like a spanking or something.
