The thing with all of those is that you're catering to popular fantasies for the readers you're targeting. Now in reality, how many teenage girls get involved with middle-aged guys? A few, enough that you can write it plausibly and believably and make it hot and it caters to that fantasy that many men have. If you want to read teenage girls fantasies, go to Wattpad and read about vampires and hot young guys and all the other teenage girl tropes and you could list those out and you'd be bored silly but teenage girls really get themselves worked up over those stories and that's a huge market that spends. It's all about your target readership and what you personally enjoy writing writing and what you're intended to do with your story.
Catering is another way of saying done to death. Its a scenario that is vastly popular in their respective categories. When authors who are very score/numbers driven constantly use tropes its to pander to that same readership.
Each one has its kernel of truth in reality(okay, not the incest or most non con) as being fantasies...again tropes for a reason. But greatly exaggerated in erotica and video porn as well.
Also none of my comments are done in judgement(except for the non con comment) just pointing out what I see that I see over and over again.
Oh, one more. Every woman is submissive, every one of them, especially those powerful bitchy professional women they're always submissive.
