I don't quite get why there is so much talk about preparation, why mention lube either? Surely the reader should fill in the gaps, and if they can't, well their problem. Yet I find that whenever lube and preparation ISN'T mentioned, a bunch of women readers will immediately spring up in the comments and wag their fingers at the author. I think the bottle-cap trick stems from a genuine fear by authors that that's all they're going to get in the way of concrit if they don't mention it, so they do just to be on the safe side.
