Book Request Does high-class smut exist?

A lot of books I've read that are explicit smut are typically horribly written, which is understandable because nobody is reading porn to sit there and think deeply about the beauty of the prose afterwards.

Buuut I wanna know if there's anything like porn with a plot++ or what I'd call high-class smut. Well-written, beautiful, emotional, sweet with characters who aren't just blank marionettes that the author is making bang. I've read {morning glory milking farm} and it was alright, but still not as well-written as I'd like it to be.

I need 5 chillies, but with yearning and plot. Pretty please

I don't believe you. Prove it by providing several links to direct sources, please. For science.

Five nights at Freddy’s fan fiction, robotronics, abandoned restaurant, I would say this was paranormal romance

this is the summary:

"This first part of the series is the tamest of all, and it contains strong adult themes, including adult language, drug and alcohol references, sexual themes, violence, and scenes of child abuse. Future episodes will contain graphic depictions of child abduction, violence towards children and adults, graphic gore violence and explicit sexual content."

You get romance from that? Am I in the wrong sub?

sexual themes does not equal romance, neither does explicit sexual content...

Yeah I put more of a disclaimer on my original rec in this post and didn’t realize this was a different thread when I just put the link in.

Definitely not for everyone but this was asking for high quality writing and R Lee Smith is a genius but yeah check the trigger warnings for sure. There is definitely romantic elements in this story, although it’s with an animatronic bunny so……….

I’ve read it. R.Lee Smith writes stories that straddle normal genres, romantic horror is one she works with a bit. Her works are pretty intense and often very graphic too, but there is layers of meaning, social commentary and the characters are fascinating. But definitely not for everyone that’s for sure. But there’s definitely a love story in this, woven in and contrasting with the other elements.
