What makes something "sexy?"

Let's overthink about porn for a second.
Obviously, sexuality is a tad arbitrary and people are into whatever they're into for whatever reasons they're into it. But this doesn't mean we can't identify certain themes and trends that appear in broad strokes. I'm just gonna vomit out my thoughts on the matter to get the ball rolling.

Our sexual fantasies (and as a result, the porn we consume) tends to fall into two categories:
Comedy:
Comedy is fun. Sex is fun. The appeal of comedy is often summarized as normalizing what isn't normal and displaying the absurdity of the things we typically find ordinary. Comedy is a common go-to for a lot of porn that focuses on the sex itself. Sex is portrayed as a fun and normal activity that normal people do all the time with few strings attached. Naturally, we see a lot of harem style games on this site that are joke filled fuckfests. Hence the appeal to the more "sensation-oriented" people here. The sexiest thing ever to these people is the prospect of having more of it.
Drama:
Drama is personal. Sex is personal. Drama is all about the struggle of conflicting interests and the resolution. There's competition and compromise. Not everyone gets what they want and some simply have to accept their place. We see it in a lot of foreplay-focused porn where the what leads up to the sex and the results after take center stage. It's portrayed as an intimate experience with all the strings in the world attached to it. On this site, we see a lot of story driven games which take on a more serious note and sex isn't taken so lightly. Hence the appeal to the more "cerebral" members. The sexiest thing ever to these people is why it's happening.

Of course, these are broad categories. There's exceptions as well as fuzzy boundaries. But that's roughly the dichotomy as I see it.

The element of surprise (within reason) is what gets me going. So e.g. if a woman is on a beach and she wears a microkini, a guy just doesn't give a fuck and pushes his penis right into her vagina through the bikini bottom, the material rips and you're suprised. Sure it's hentai logic, but did you expect it ? No. Was it hot ? Yes.

Am I satisfied ? Very. That being said there was a hentai that had this happen and for the life of me I can't find it, so if anyone is willing to take a side quest, please help.
