no one flippantly calls game of thrones or rated r movies porn even though many of them have a far larger ratio of sex and nudity to non-sex sex and nudity scenes than you will find in fate/stay night.
fate stay night is a 90 hour visual novel with a few short sex scenes that are effectively bolted on after the fact and are even cut out entirely of most releases of the game at this point.
Not a word about Hentai? I'm surprised.
But if there is a genre which fulfills everything you speak of and more, it's the japanese erotic Visual Novel. I never thought I'd ever treat any form of porn with reverence until http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fate/stay_night
I wonder if it's a lesson in this. If people can make so successfully animated movies, why so few live ones? Is there an inherent limit? I'd venture to say we're very turned off by any form of pretense in sex. The most successful forms of live porn seem to be either pure amateur, or porn actresses who are basically acting as themselves. If that's the cause, no amount of money or skill will fix it...
