I feel ya.
I've always preferred games with greatly written characters... even if it takes some time for the sex to happen. Because if I like the characters it makes them boinking a lot hotter, than if it's just two impersonal 3D models doing the penis-in-vagina thing.
Porno videos... just doesn't fucking bother with that shit, and it's a shame. I'm not expecting The Wire, but it would have just been nice if the porn "writers" (is that even a fucking job?) put a bit of effort and creativity into their craft. Like, yeah, we are here for people penetrating each other, but sometimes it's also extra satisfying to know why... and sometimes for a reason better than "hey, he's a horny but handsome pizza delivery boy, and she is a sexually frustrated housewife".
And the biggest tragedy of this is that most non-degenerates (AKA not this forum) doesn't really realize what they're missing, and are just satisfied with the onslaught of low effort barely passable compost that makes up 99% of the porn landscape. Like, I'm dead certain that porn acting is bad on purpose. If you can fake gaining pleasure for having a 10 inch dick shoved up your rectum, you can act like you are having a conversation with somebody without sounding like you have been pulled over by a cop and are desperately trying to lead his attention away of that bag of cocaine you left on the back seat.
It's just such low effort. And everybody can counter these arguments with a "story in porn lol" kind of post, but I'm sick of porn producers trying to make their videos as pornographic as possible without even vaguely trying to be erotic. Imagine if you were reading a piece of erotic literature, and there was no build-up, no characterization, no setting of the scene, but it was just a description of two people you don't know anything about doing it. Is it really so dumb to want porno videos to have the same standards?
And yes, I know videos being a visual medium makes it easier for a quick "get in -> jerk it -> get out" session, but does that really have to be the case for every. single. video?
