I know I can't be the only one who has masturbated during a sexy scene in a TV show (thank you, Nip/Tuck!) or movie, and that's what I want from porn- a movie that would be interesting even if the sex scenes were kept PG-13, and a movie where the sex was necessary to the plot, not just something tacked on. The industry seems to keep on delivering set-ups and archetypes, instead of real stories and real characters interacting.

Unfortunately, most people seem to prefer keeping jerk-off material and entertainment separate, and any "legitimate" filmmakers who are blurring the lines of unsimulated sex, like John Cameron Mitchell, seem determined to de-eroticize it to prove that it's not porn. And then factoring in the cost to pornographers who have no incentives to do a good plot, or even a plot at all . . . and you get the gonzo stuff.

The last porn-with-a-plot I watched was Sasha Grey's "The Last Rose". It was trying, I know . . . but classical piano music and lots of staring out windows does not a plot make. Not to mention that throwing an orgy that happened in the past, with other couples f*cking, into the middle for the added sex scenes is lame.

Pornographers- watch a movie like "Young People F*cking" and take notes.

The {ahem} pendulum will swing back at some point, just as some people prefer Dexter to American Idol.

It makes me giggles.

And remember, giggles + blowjobs= recipe for joy as sort of stated by Tracie.

Porn plots can drag like none other though, so this doesn't surprise me.
