John Waters once described porn
As looking like heart surgery (or some type of surgery--I can't remember exactly). At any rate, what I thought he was getting at--and what bothers me (as a woman) about most porn--is the use of extreme closeups of disembodied genitalia. It's yucky clinical, and not at all arousing for me.
OTOH, I find myself absurdly aroused watching, say, Joe Sarno soft-core from the '70's. The men are attractive. The women are attractive, but have normal-sized and not-obviously-augmented breasts. The acting is better. There is an attempt at an interesting storyline.
