Good for him if it makes his life more comfortable.
I remember back in the late 70's when I was first attending SF conventions going through a box in a dealer's room. At the time I understood what FanFic was though had no idea about slash and things like it (and now I'm married to a fairly well regarded slash authoress) and came across a Star Trek fanzine. I pulled it out of the box and it had a picture of Sulu stepping out of a shower drying his back with a large towel. That wasn't the only thing that was large. He was, shall we say, endowed. 'Horse Envy' could be another way of putting it. Not rampant, because you'd probably pass out from trying to make that unit stand up. But that was probably my first exposure to erotic fic and what would possibly become slash.
Which brings up the question: when did "slash" become the accepted term for this fic genre, or when was it coined?
And no, I didn't buy the 'zine. I was still more than a little virginal and guilt-ridden at that time, though I bought the occasional Penthouse then.
