The Guide for Amateur Writers of Erotica

A couple of questions on Perspective, for anyone to comment on, please.

I'd love to see an example of a story written in the 2nd person. Does anyone know of any easily available (readable online for preference)?

3rd person omniscient - where the author cannot lie to his reader. Why would he want to? Why would a reader accept it? If you can't trust the author, you can't suspend disbelief, and you'll constantly be checking the narrative for credibility.

3rd person fallible. I can accept that authors are fallible, but why write a story that is "mistaken" (see above)? The author must know this when he relates the story, even if he laboured under a misapprehension earlier. So what's the point? If it's to discover the "truth" later (which is what most stories do in the end, anyway) isn't it better just to tell it properly from the outset?
