Count me in as needing plot. As much as I try, porn just doesn’t really do it for me if I have no reason to care about the characters. I’ve seen someone take it up the ass, ok, next. What I haven’t seen is this story/director’s take on the scene. _The Madams Family_ and _Pirates_ are two videos that come to mind as being excellent in that I can feel like I actually got my money’s worth (well, if I had paid anything).

This is why I generally stick to text. At least the characters are given names and motivations there.  
edit: I came to add in that I remember a show that used to be on Showtime that was quite good. I think it was called _Bliss_ or something like that, but I’m having trouble finding DVDs of it.

Also, as a guy, this post makes me feel very very wussy 😃
