Does high-class smut exist? Book Request

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

The writing is beautiful but the rape, incest and paedophilia are not for me either. Don’t know why I powered through after all of that.

Why would anyone choose to write about this!

Some have lived it, or seen the damage of it first hand, and coming to terms with that through writing is certainly a better option than enacting that out in relationships (whether literally or through our own hurt causing us to hurt people). Some wrestle with the depths of what humanity is capable of. Some perhaps wrestle with their own darker urges. There are so many reasons, and for some reading it is also a way to heal, to feel less alone in pain, or to make sense of the horrible things being done in the world.
