Any porno where the sexual stuff is not the only point to it. As in, it has a plot that isn't merely an excuse for having sex on screen. Bonus points if the sex is actually plausibly worked into said plot or used for characterization.
Line 14:
A lot of [[Eroge]] can be described as this. Even though a lot of them stick close to their tropes, especially female archetypes with the [[Harem Genre]] games, remember, [[Tropes Are Tools|tropes don't have to be bad]]. There are plenty of comedy works, but also a fair share of drama and romance. Some are better than others, and a few are considerably better than most. However, some people have a habit of grouping PWP with [[Hentai]] and [[Public Medium Ignorance|calling]] [[Did Not Do the Research|both of them]] [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch|the same thing]], even if the second "P" amounts to maybe one or two sex scenes hidden amidst hours of non-sexual gameplay (or worse, some non-intercourse ecchi scenes).
Contrast, of course, [[Porn Without Plot]]. Compare [[

* This trope is so popular among manga that it has [http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?category=Borderline+H its own category] at Manga Updates. And indeed, don't be surprised if a title among them gets mentioned down below.
** A considerable number of (although definitely not all) [[Boys Love Genre|Yaoi series]], in part so there's room for the necessary amounts of [[Angst]].
* ''Coyote''. It's a non-canon prequel to ''[[
* ''[[Haru wo Daiteita]]'''s plot is based on two [[Boys Love|male]] Adult Video actors attempting to break into mainstream acting. They actually have some success, in spite of the paparazzi, and back stabbing actors.
* ''[[Daiakuji]]'': A modern take on the ''[[The Tale of Genji
* ''[[Leather Man]]'': Had a great mystery setup with hints at an [[Ancient Conspiracy]] but unfortunately [[Left Hanging|cut short]].
* ''[[Darling]]'': A story about a different type of fantasy, this time involving a manga writer/illustrator and his assistant/model/wife.
Line 39:
* Yasuomi Umetsu's ''Kite'' and ''[[Mezzo Forte]]'' are fairly extreme examples -- ''Mezzo Forte'' in particular only has two sex scenes between two episodes, both of which are shoehorned in with no real plot impact; one is even [[All Just a Dream]]. Both received [[Bleached Underpants|non-pornographic follow-ups]].
* ''[[Hyakujitsu no Bara]]'' features some rather graphic brutal rape scenes, and also one of the most fascinating and convoluted plots to be found in [[Boys Love|BL]] manga.

* Although it's quite clear that the porn is the main focus, even moreso in the OAV, ''[[
* ''[[Hatsu Inu]]. At least in the first episode. An [[Ordinary High School Student]] manages to score an incredibly hot (if [[Cute Mute|mute]]) girl. The problem? She has a fetish for toys and it quite hurts on the poor dude's psyche ("Which do you prefer, your toys or me?"). Features gorgeous artwork and at times, hilarious moments.
* In [[Glass no Megami]], it's love at first sight for college students Sakura and Kurimiya, but [[Genki Girl]] Aya - Kurimiya's classmate since childhood and current [[Sempai-Kohai|Kouhai]] - sweeps Sakura off his feet before he quite knows what's happening. When Aya ends up falling deeply in love with him, Sakura has to decide what and who he wants the most. It's a fairly standard [[Love Triangle]] plot with plenty of steamy sex, but it's well-written with characters who are engaging enough that the ultimate breaking of the triangle is a heart-breaking [[Tear Jerker]].
* The ''[[Sono Hanabira
* ''[[Mahou Shoujo Ai]]'': [[Magical Girl]] anime meets naughty tentacles.
* ''[[Toshiue no Hito]]'' is a complex love story about a university student who falls for/is pursued by a seemingly young, tiny, cute freshman. Unfortunately, she's [[Older Than They Look|a lot older than she looks]] and has a ''lot'' of personal baggage. The porn part comes in later with the uncensored nudity in the sex scenes. That is, when they aren't being [[Moment Killer|accidentally cockblocked by visitors]].
* ''[[Yosuga no Sora]]'' does this one ''not as an [[OVA]]'' but as a ''midnight time slot'' '''[[Twelve-Episode Anime]].''' Unlike most networks who are shy enough to censor breasts or nipples, this one goes through the whole nine yards with no repercussions whatsoever.

* The same could be said of [[Phil Foglio]]'s ''[[XXXenophile]]'', except that it has a humorous tone and no [[Mind Screw|Mindscrews]] (... well, for the most part).

Of course, she gets mad over it and decides to not tell Misato but instead take revenge by using Shinji as an outlet for her sexual frustrations, reasoning that as long as he initiates everything, she won't have to take responsibility. He eventually finds out and takes issue with it; problem is, she saw his caring personality and fell in love with him for real. When they finally make peace and get together, they don't have much time to enjoy the other's company due to Asuka getting amnesia from an Angel attack and forgetting everything that happened between them, including the rape. This gives Shinji the opportunity to make a fresh start and win her over via normal means.</ref>. {{spoiler|Except for the [[Babies Ever After|ending]], of course.}}

* ''[[Last Tango in Paris]]''
* ''[[The Blue Lagoon]] (1980)'' features lots of underage nudity and sex. It's also a powerful romance and a very educational examination of human nature that delves into love and marriage, ethics and morality, religion and theology, and sociology. It was [[Movie of the Book|based on a well-written novel]] from a serious author, after all.
* [[David Lynch]] is fond of this. ''[[Blue Velvet]]'' contains [[Rape Is Love|quasi-consensual]] BDSM & voyeurism as major themes, but used them as building blocks for a [[Mind Screw]] film noir. ''[[Mulholland Drive]]'' had some pretty hardcore lesbian scenes, but in service to a tragically romantic psychological thriller, not to mention ''[[Wild
* 1976's ''[http://www.reverseshot.com/article/opening_misty_beethoven The Opening of Misty Beethoven]'' is a sexually-explicit version of ''Pygmalion''/''My Fair Lady''. Unlike later porn "parodies", it is intelligent, witty, and made on a reasonable budget; it's also so well-written and -performed that some viewers feel that the explicit sex gets in the way of the story. It cleverly makes use of its explicit nature not only to titillate, but to lead the viewer into drawing uncomfortable conclusions about Eliza Doolittle in the original.
** Sort-of similarly, 1975's ''Eskimo Nell'' is on the surface the tale of an attempt by a group of schlocky British film-makers to produce a big-screen version of the legendary epic porn comedy poem (featuring an Amazonian heroine who wears down the over-sized manhood of one thug to a thread and then shrugs off his vengeful accomplice's repeated firing of his six-gun up an intimate portion of her anatomy), but in reality is more a genuinely funny and insightful look into British low-budget film-making of the time (leading cast member and writer Michael Armstrong was a real-life veteran of this side of the industry), glossed with some very soft-core sexual shenanigans.
Line 102:
* ''Alien Sex Files 3: She Alien'', starring Jenae Alt, features a woman who is really an advance scout for an [[Alien Invasion]]. She sides with the human race after experiencing sex and love. The ending is also a pure [[Visual Effects of Awesome]].

{{quote| '''Captain:''' (escorting the hot alien chick around the ship) As you can see, the rumors that we just walk through the exact same corridor over and over just to make it look like a bigger ship are completely false.}}
* ''Emmanuelle'' and its various sequels and reimaginings like the ''Emmanuelle in Space'' and ''Emmanuelle Through Time'' series. ''Emmanuelle in Wonderland'' is a musical. One film featured the title character trying to help out a poor guy who mistook a one night stand for true love and was about to get his heart broken. Another featured the cast having a deep discussion about the portrayal of [[Vampires Are Sex Gods]] in the media.
* ''[[
* ''Deep In The Valley'', where two friends (one a [[Nice Guy]] and the other a porn-obsessed pervert) get [[Trapped in TV Land|sent into a porno]]. It's funny and deconstructs some porn stereotypes. Also, one of the girls in the porno is tired of meaningless sex and wants to experience true love.
* ''Virtual Girl'' (1998). A man enters virtual reality and has a tryst with a simulated woman. He tries to break off the relationship, but she turns out to be: sentient, a [[Yandere]], and can affect the real world.

*** Though only one scene was described (possibly two, but the second one didn't last because the man wasn't interested). [[The Plains of Passage]] was really bad for this, though -- it had little enough plot to begin with, so to pad it out, there were one or more sex scenes per chapter.
* Anything written by J.R. Ward, especially her [[Black Dagger Brotherhood]] series; pushes the boundaries emotionally ''and'' sexually.
Line 135:
* You know what? Let's just say [[Cinemax]] in general before this page gets [[A Worldwide Punomenon|too long]].
* Short-lived HBO series ''Tell Me You Love Me'' epitomized this trope; mainly dealing with the characters' sex lives and crises within those sex lives, each episode had a ''buttload'' of sex scenes, with graphic depictions of both female and male genitalia. The sex scenes did [[Justified Trope|serve a purpose]], though.
* The American verion of ''[[Queer
* ''Femme Fatales'', a [[Gambit Pileup]] of murderers, thieves, adulterers, etc. with lots of sex scenes and nudity. This show also has continuity.
* ''The Erotic Traveler'', where an art collector would tell her apprentice erotic tales of each art piece's history. For example, telling about a mask used in BDSM games, or an artist or sculptor having an affair with the model.
* ''[[True Blood]]'', an awesome, action-packed adaptation of ''[[The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries]]'' with explicit gay, lesbian, bi, and hetero sex scenes while dealing with [[Fantastic Racism]] between vampires, werewolves, humans, shapeshifters, maenads, witches, and fairies.
* ''[[Torchwood]] often strays into this.
* ''[[Spartacus: Blood and Sand]]'', its prequel, ''Spartacus: Gods of the Arena'', and its sequel, ''Spartacus: Vengeance''. It's an incredible adaptation of the events around the legendary [[Gladiator Revolt]], with ''lots'' of explicit gay, lesbian, bi, and hetero sex scenes.
* Several episodes of ''[[The Outer Limits]]'' [[Revival]] have nudity and sex. These include:
** "Valerie 23": A man gets a [[Robot Girl]] as a companion. After they inevitably have sex, she becomes a [[Yandere]] after he tries to date his therapist.
** "Caught In The Act": A woman (Alyssa Milano) gets possessed by an alien. She seduces men, then [[Out
** "Paradise": The sheriff investigates when old women from a retirement home go missing, and mysterious, beautiful women seduce men, then undergo [[Rapid Aging]].
** "Bits of Love": The last survivor of a nuclear war survives in an underground bunker with holograms (including one played by [[Natasha Henstridge]]) as companions. He can even interact with them intimately with virtual reality. He soon learns the cost of treating his companions with disrespect.
Line 152:
== Visual Novels & Video Games ==
* Pretty much any [[Eroge]] by [[Type Moon]], especially, ''[[
** The two mentioned works provide different sort of examples of this. In ''Tsukihime'', the story is very plot-heavy but more focused on romance than ''Fate'', and thus the sex scenes tend to fit into the plot naturally and tend to be part of it without being the point. In ''Fate'', this trope applies in a sense that the sexual content is such a small part of the game that it could be removed very easily and it would make little to no difference at all.
* ''[[
* ''[[Nitroplus]]'' is pretty good at this. ''[[
* ''[[A Dance With Rogues]]''. Pull every sex scene, it is still a pretty good story.
** The Bastard of Kosigan has several graphic sex scenes, but they are all optional and the story doesn't lose anything without them.
* ''[[Kana: Little Sister]]'' is well-known for being an [[Tear Jerker|emotionally ravaging]] love story with an ending that is... bittersweet at best.
* ''[[Private Nurse]]'' -- [[Magical Girl]], [[Healing Hands]], [[Childhood Marriage Promise]] love story... sort of. It ranks up there with ''[[Kana: Little Sister]]'' in terms of drama and story over sex and, depending on gameplay, can result in either [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] or a near-tragic [[Bittersweet Ending]].
* ''[[Yume Miru Kusuri]]: A Drug That Makes You Dream'' -- Another epic [[Eroge]] deserving of recognition for being more than just an H-game. Dark, dramatic... go read the full article.
* It's also worth mentioning that not all Eroge are visual novels; ''[[
** They're also good examples of the sliding scale from plot to porn: ''Utawarerumono'' is a serious, heavily storyline-oriented game that you can easily play for two days straight without finding any H-content whatsoever, while ''Sengoku Rance'' is made of [[Refuge in Audacity]], more H-scenes than you could shake a stick at, and exceedingly additictive gameplay that'll keep you going long after you stopped caring about the porn.
** Lots of games made by Alice Soft fall into "more game than novel" form, though the amount and purpose of sex is variable from [[Deus Sex Machina]] to [[Intimate Healing]]. Hell, sometimes they even tie in the sex into gameplay (with [[Deus Sex Machina]] or otherwise).
* ''[[Edelweiss]]'' -- particularly Black Cat path, though White Cat path is also story - heavy. Black Cat path is so trippy, convoluted -- and altogether FUN that you forget what genre you're in.

''Primaveil Zwei'' begins as a sailor-senshi/super-sentai parody that becomes progressively more character driven, deconstructive, and original.
* The [[PC 98]] game ''Night Slave'' had side-scrolling action interspersed with some lesbian bondage.
* ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'' is a (free, high-quality) visual novel eroge where the romantic and pornographic sections are inseparable from the in-depth characterisation and thoughtful exploration of the lives of teenagers dealing with their disabilities.

It is well-written, covers the psychology and ideas behind their S/M play, and explores the emotional highs/lows of such a relationship. However, the artist is releasing the series ''[[Out of Order]]'', not in chronological order (similar to the broadcast order of the first season of the ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' anime).
Line 198:
* ''Sex Trek'' is a porn movie with [[Expy|Expys]] of the [[Star Trek]] TOS cast getting in on in various ways on the "Starship Intercourse".

It eventually hit full-on [[Cerebus Syndrome]], aided by a [[Framing Device]] in which the narrator hears from his wife that a woman of his acquaintence has just died, with the story being a ([[Doorstopper|120-chapter]]) flashback to his adventures with this [[Posthumous Character]]. We also don't know who the wife is, as if ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' were an X-rated drama instead of a sitcom. (It has also hit full-on [[Schedule Slip]], having recently gone 364 days without an update, but at least that gives you plenty of time for an [[Archive Binge]].)
