The thing I don't get is how Tosh became this voyeur in fanon? I really don't get it. There is nothing in canon to hint at it. To be honest I don't think that the authors of the stories see it in the way you do, I think that it's quite way out there in things that really are totally AU in that sense, and not at all realistic. At least I really hope so, because I know Tosh is lonely, and in love with someone who ignores her etc, but even in my most depressed and lonely, the last thing I would want to do is watch two of my friends having sex!
I have only read these stories if from an author I like, so it's pretty rare that I read them. The authors I read tend not to write them, or if they do they are pretty tame. However I do remember once coming apon a story, which I didn't actually read much of, where Tosh and Gwen and other TW women (Martha maybe?) were having girls night's in to watch DVD's of Jack and Ianto having sex. It was just beyond ludicrous. I think maybe also that's the thing, people writing it don't think that through, and just write it for the porn value, or something. It's a fantasy, that in real life would be rather nasty, as you have pointed out.
