Line 3:
'''Buck:''' It's a fuck movie. I don't watch a fuck movie for the story. I watch a fuck movie to see fuckin'.|''[[From Dusk Till Dawn]]'' ''2: Texas Blood Money''}}
 
As "PWP", a shorthand flag for stories whose sole purpose is to present a sexually-explicit situation ([[SturgeonsSturgeon's Law|very often]] not very [[IKEA Erotica|well-written]]); "stroke story" is another term for the same, especially in erotica. A PWP is almost always a short story, as going more than a few scenes runs the risk of accidentally discovering a plot which may well [[Plot Tumor|take over the story]] and shove the explicit sexual content off to the side. However there exist many multichapter PWP fanfics written with the intention of cramming as many explicit sex scenes in as possible.
 
PWPs are convenient for the writer who wants to produce smut, because they do not require [[Backstory|justification]], they simply happen with no explanation. PWP can also stand for "'''P'''erson '''W'''ith '''P'''erson", because of the frequent occurrence of... [[Crack Pairing|non-standard]] couplings, similarly without the need for justification.
Line 11:
See also [[Lemon]], [[Slash Fic]], [[Doujinshi]], [[Summer Blockbuster]], [[Excuse Plot]], [[Yaoi]] (in its original Japanese meaning). Contrast [[Porn With Plot]] and [[Explicit Content]].
 
Compare [[No Plot, No Problem]] for non-pornographic version of this trope.
 
''Important:'' '''In-universe examples or [[Discussed Trope|references]] only, please!''' We don't need to list every plotless porno out there.

* Interestingly, this is where the word 'yaoi' comes from. It was originally used to refer to plotless gay erotica, and was an abbreviation of 'yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi' (no plot, no point, no meaning), and rapidly spread in usage from there. Male/male romance in general is more properly referred to as the [[Boys Love Genre]], [[Bleached Underpants|for reasons that]] [[Explicit Content|should be obvious]].
 
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* Drew Carey lampshades this in one episode of ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'', comparing [[The Points Mean Nothing|points]] to the plot in a porno.
