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 15 ⟶ 16:
Contrast, of course, [[Porn Without Plot]]. Compare [[It's Not Porn, It's Art]]. See also [[Fetish Fuel]], which is when an otherwise clean work includes Fetish elements to attract an audience.

It should go without saying -- [[Viewers are Morons|but we'll say it ''anyway'']] -- that any link of this page is ''pretty much guaranteed'' to take you to something that's [[NSFW]] in one way or another. So exercise care in what you click on if you're in an environment where viewing NSFW content is a bad idea.
== Anime & Manga ==▼
▲{{examples}}
* 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]].
Line 36 ⟶ 39:
* ''[[Wet Summer Days]]''. Three lightly connected stories featuring young people falling in love, reclaiming love, or admitting love. A few [[Tear Jerker]] moments. A bit of drama. And some quite hot sex scenes. Including one with {{spoiler|Death}}.
** This itself is a adaption from the eroge [[Suika]], which was created with the intention to be a [[Tear Jerker]] in the first place.
* The [[Boys Love]] manga ''[[Crimson Spell]]'' was described by one reviewer as "a really good fantasy series with lots of sex scenes".
* 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.
* ''[[My Balls]]''. Features plenty of nudity and sexual situations... and is also damn hilarious, the porn itself actually leading to a good chunk of the humor and the story.
* Although it's quite clear that the porn is the main focus, even
* ''[[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 ni Kuchizuke wo]]'' OVA is [[yuri]] [[WAFF]] with Porn.
* ''[[Mahou Shoujo Ai]]'': [[Magical Girl]] anime meets naughty tentacles.
Line 50 ⟶ 53:
* ''[[Ai no Kusabi]]''. Intricate, detailed world, dramatic plot and lots of graphic sex.
* Nakamura Asumiko's [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/double_mints/ Double Mints] is a good example. The plot and characters are absolutely fascinating, and there's a little sex sprinkled in.
== Comic Books ==
* The furry comic ''[[Omaha the Cat Dancer]]'' is a classic example of plot with porn, having evolved from a mostly sex-based comic to a full-fledged soap opera comic with uncensored sex scenes over time. The series did have a tendency to go from a porn comic, to a plot with porn, back to pretty much straight porn at the drop of a hat again.
* The same could be said of [[Phil Foglio]]'s ''[[XXXenophile]]'', except that it has a humorous tone and no [[Mind Screw
* ''[[Ironwood]]'' combines a standard fantasy quest storyline with hardcore sex. The writer Bill Willingham even commented that at times it was hard to insert each issue's obligatory sex scene without breaking the flow of the story.
* ''[[The Piano Tuner]]'', by Ignacio Noe, is a collection of short stories about the sexual misadventures of the eponymous character as he makes house calls. It's really quite hilarious, and reads more like a gag comic with a couple of pages of explicit sex in every story. Witness as he runs through the street naked being chased by a television producer (his latest conquest was the star). "I never did tune that piano..."
* Many, many comics from legendary Milo Manara, and as well the great Horacio Altuna.
** In fact, this appears to be relatively common in the French, and to a lesser extent, Italian comic scenes.
* ''[[Heathen City]] Maranatha''.
== Fan Works ==
The [[Fan Fic Recommendations|rare fanfic]] that attempts to combine [[WAFF]] with [[Lemon]]. Sex is, well, sexier when you write in romance, love, affection and exploration of relationships.
* ''[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1422/Romance-Reports Romance Reports]'' is one of '''the''' most famous fanfics the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is
* ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6939823/1/Two_Slayers_One_Heart_Version_Three_Point_Zero Two Slayers - One Heart]'' is an amazing, and extremely [[Not Safe for Work]] ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fic where the porn and the plot are perfect (though the porn becomes rarer throughout the story).
** It's no longer on Adult Fanfiction.net (link fixed), but a toned-down, no-graphic-sex version is on Fanfiction.net—the link now points there.
* The ''[[Firefly]]'' fanfiction ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3810858/1/In_the_Cold_Cold_Night In The Cold Cold Night]''.
* The ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' fanfiction ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4078106/1/Egg_Belly Egg Belly]'', which has sex but it is only supplementary to Konoka and Setsuna's relationship, which is the focus. Weird name, great story... and Ch. 6 is [[Head-Tiltingly Kinky|mind-expanding]] yuri.
* ''[[Star Trek:
* The [[NSFW]] versions of the ''[[Love Hina]]'' fanfics ''[http://mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php/58764 Loss and Redemption]'' and ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1976449/1/Aftermath_Loss_and_Redemption_2 Aftermath: Loss and Redemption 2]''. The plot holds up so well without the porn that the author rereleased worksafe versions of the fics, and they still worked. (Although the original versions are still superior, as the sex is used for the purpose of deepening the emotional intensity of the experience, not just titillation.)
* There is also the ''[[Misfile]]'' fan-verse web novel ''[[Misfiled Dreams]]'', which has plenty of [[Lemon]] scenes, all of which are essential to advancing either the plot or the growing relationship of the two main characters.
Line 79 ⟶ 80:
* The ''[[Code Geass]]'' oneshot ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6129393/1/Kisses_and_Wishes Kisses and Wishes]'' is actually an examination of Mao's emerging sexuality pitted against C.C.'s [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]] aloofness, complete with plenty of [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]], [[A Date with Rosie Palms|masturbation]] and, of course, [[Sex as Rite-of-Passage]].
* 90% of [[Doujinshi]] are explicit (because that sells), and most of them are PWP. Then you get a story like the ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' doujin ''[[RE-TAKE]]'', which got a "mainstreamed" re-issue because the main plot (Shinji [[Peggy Sue|goes back in time]] from the beach at movie end and tries to do the "right" thing for the last 1/3 of the series, while Asuka follows and tries to stop him so he won't betray her again) is much more interesting than its handful of sex-scenes that often seem shoehorned in.
* From the same studio that made ''Re-Take'' comes ''[[Negimaru]]'', a ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' doujin. It is five chapters total, and by the third the porn very noticeably takes second place to the plot {{spoiler|where Chisame is killing herself by whoring herself out for the sake of being the best net idol. Negi ends up getting killed by Chisame as she goes insane,}} and by the fifth chapter there are only four out of
** And then it [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v29/c264/8.html (possibly)] got a [[Shout-Out]], too! [http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/mahou_sensei_negima/en/0/338/page/12 Twice!]
* The ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' femslash story ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4016674/1/Militat_Omnis_Amans_Every_Lover_is_a_Warrior Militat Omnis Amans
* The ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' fanfiction ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6971431/1/The_Punishment The Punishment]'' began life on the [[Kink Meme]] (and [[Excuse Plot|it shows]]), yet still manages to be an incredibly detailed and believable investigation into just how disorientating - and downright ''frightening'' at times - it would be for a machine to suddenly find themselves with a human body. Even the sex itself serves this theme, exploring just how bizarre, problematic and enjoyable the very thought of it is to someone who until recently never knew such things existed. It also helps that Wheatley is ''even more [[Adorkable]]'' as a human.
* The ''[[Takotsuboya K-ON!
* ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2379730/1/My_Life_as_a_Teenaged_Von_Neumann_Device My Life as a Teenaged von Neumann Device]'' starts out as just a simple ''[[My Life as a Teenage Robot]]'' [[Lemon]] fic, but becomes a [[Coming of Age]] tale full of action, drama, romance... and still plenty of sex.
== Films -- Live Action ==
* ''[[Last Tango in Paris]]''
* The 1980 version of ''[[The Blue Lagoon]]
* [[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 at Heart]]''...
* 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.
** This appears to have been the next wave in the '70s; in 1976 the world saw ''Alice In Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Comedy,'' starring Playboy Playmate ''cum'' mainstream actress (now retired) Kristine DeBell. It was produced as a mainstream adult film, and has production values to match: solid (though not particularly memorable) musical numbers, actual choreography and a reasonable attempt at acting on the part of most of the players. In fact, most of the hardcore footage was removed for a broadcast-friendly softcore version. [[Roger Ebert]] gave it a favorable review.
* In the same way that big summer blockbusters inspire hack
** And then they made [[wikipedia:Pirates II|a sequel...]]
* ''Shortbus'' and ''Nine Songs'' are both borderline cases. They are both critically well regarded, but are marketed around featuring real sex.
Line 124:
*** 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.
* ''[[The Journal Entries]]'' by Elf Sternberg is a very long series of furry sci-fi stories, ranging from [[Porn Without Plot|barely fleshed out]] (though it gets better if you know the characters) to heavy phylosophical commentary.▼
* [[H. Beam Piper]]'s ''Uller Uprising'' features an in-universe example, written by a woman who has ambitions to be taken seriously as a [[Historical Fiction]] writer. She's determined to [[Shown Their Work|show her work]], so her spy novel about infiltrating the U.S. A-bomb project (by seducing anybody who can give the spy useful info) includes all the details the good guys of ''Uller Uprising'' need to build their own nuke. After they filter out the sex scenes....
{{quote|"The heroine is a sort of super-Mata-Hari, who is, alternately and sometimes simultaneously, in the pay of the Nazis, the Soviets, the Vatican, Chiang Kai-Shek, the Japanese Emperor, and the Jewish International Bankers, and she sleeps with everybody but Joe Stalin and Mao Tse-tung, and of course, she is in on every step of the A-bomb project. She even manages to stow away on the ''Enola Gay'', with the help of a general she's spent fifty incandescent pages seducing."
"We are now running a sort of gaseous-diffusion process, to separate the nuclear physics from the pornography. I must say, Hildegarde has her biological data very well in hand, too."}}
== Live-Action TV ==
Line 176 ⟶ 174:
* You may start playing ''[[Daily Life with Monster Girl|Monster Girl Quest]]'' because of [[Cute Monster Girl]] premise. After a while, you will stick to it more because of how the game is poking fun at JRPG with lot of [[Lampshade Hanging]] and self-aware jokes. The plot and main characters have [[Hidden Depths]] that slowly revealed as the game progress. Plus, several artists are working on this game and the quality of porns are vary from scene to scene, so they won't attract you long without the plot.
== Web Comics ==
* [[Jay Naylor]]'s "pornfolios".
* ''[[Tally Road]]'' cannot seem to have an explicit sex scene without huge plot consequences. When things get really hot and heavy, there is inevitably some sort of other shoe to drop. It's so Porn with Plot-tastic it has to be intentional.
Line 201 ⟶ 198:
* ''Sex Trek'' is a porn movie with [[Expy]]s of the [[Star Trek]] TOS cast getting in on in various ways on the "Starship Intercourse". And in between, there is a plot, the exposition of which is laced with [[Incredibly Lame Pun|awesome double entendres]] and self-deprecating humor. The first 4 minutes (SFW) are [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKmY_6TeCp4 on Youtube]. It's actually pretty [[So Bad It's Good|awesome.]]
* And, last but not least, there are the stories put on actual erotica sites:
** ''Six Times a Day'' is about a young man who is (falsely) told that he must orgasm six times a day as a medical treatment for lack of energy. It's currently{{when}} in its 79th part (each part typically contains 5-8 chapters apiece), and is clocking in at over 3 ''Million'' words at the moment. So yea - Porn with Plot.
*** Which is, of course, helped along by virtue that he's adopted, so [[Not Blood Siblings]] applies here.
** ''[[The Wulf Archives]]'' were specifically created with this trope in mind. The writer, Anthony Pryor, was repelled at how badly written most of the content in alt.sex.stories and wanted to show you can have sexually explicit stories that are well written. For instance, in the first posted story, "Heart of the Lion," the first major section is a wild [[Sword and Sorcery]] version of the famous Battle of Isandlwana where that version of the British fight their version of the Zulu nation with ''roughly equal'' firepower and the Zulu have calvary as well.
Line 212 ⟶ 209:
* While the "Naked in School" universe originated as [[Porn Without Plot]] and has seen plenty of that over the years, there are also a number of authors who've used it as a powerful vehicle for examining teenage romance, angst, and even the nature of celebrity.
* In each compilation book of ''[[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]]'', [[World Building|large amount of background info were given about the its world]], covering how things were before, and how much it changed after the reign of Succubus Demon Lord. And at least two [[Light Novel]] were released based on this.
▲* ''[[The Journal Entries]]'' by Elf Sternberg is a very long series of furry sci-fi stories, ranging from [[Porn Without Plot|barely fleshed out]] (though it gets better if you know the characters) to heavy phylosophical commentary.
