I don't see what's wrong with people of that generation carrying over their power-play fetishes for the reading pleasure of other members of their generation. It's just like you said, most young people know that these stories are bad and weird, but they're not the target audience. 

Just let them have their cheap sex books until they die, and then the next generation can make fun of how our romance books have "couples" and "love" involved.

except this type of book has always existed.

i hate it because it presents abusive sexual assault as romance.
