Poll: What Makes For "Good" Smut?

[snogged]

I'm quite certain this is an question that's been asked in various forms from various people, but I figure it can't hurt to take a stab at it within my own corner of the Livejournal universe.

Please keep in mind that my goal is not to limit this question to a certain fandom. All fandoms are welcome. This includes those folks who just love a good old-fashioned work of fiction or non-fiction that has nothing to do with a television show, a movie, a role-playing game book, etc.

Also, please feel free to be as objective or as subjective as you desire and most importantly, have fun with it.

I like smut that isn't overly graphic or vulgar in its description. There are certain words that can ruin the moment for me and turn what was an otherwise good scene into something that makes me cringe.

I also have to feel something for the characters. There has to be a reason these two or more people are being intimate. Pr0n for Pr0n's sake is wonderful, but I have to believe the pairing.

I don't always mind the graphic stuff. It depends on how its written and who's involved.
