I agree with a lot of the points being made here, agreeing that the actual sex is not the main attraction, but...
while I find it very important for the story to be believable (even though some of the best ENF stories have been out the window ridiculously implausible), do we really need the STORY itself to be good? Sure, it must have a story, and it must be believable, but perfect erotica a good story does not make, IMO. It may be an important part, but THE most important part? I don't think so. I was surprised at how quickly people seemed to pick that choice. It's almost cliche. Granted, once again I agree that the reason we're here and not at some straight up "people fuckin" site is because we're a niche group. We prefer foreplay to the actual act.

For me though, perfect erotica, it's all about description. Artistry is good, sometimes graphic is better, depending on the scene being described. If the author is delicately describing the way a pretty sundress flutters down the slender virgin body of the story's protagonist, I appreciate all the poetry you can stuff into her reaction and her body. If the victim... I mean protagonist is spread eagle in front of a projector screen with her lady parts on display, anything besides graphic detail seems to defeat the entire point of the scene. Most of us don't come to the fiction board here purely to satisfy our intellectual desires, even if the erotic part of our brain requires or is stimulated by that intellectual touch. As long as a story exists and it's descriptive enough to spark my imagination, satisfy my more basic desires for a sexy piece of fiction, and most importantly, SURPRISE me with fresh ways to describe things and new twists and ways for stories to end, I think it has the elements of perfect erotica.

just my humble thoughts, to each his own.
