The glory days of porn are over and have been since the early 80's. We will never again see the likes of films such as The Opening Of Misty Beethoven, Devil in Miss Jones, Behind the Green Door, Insatiable. All of these were made on film in the 70's. Insatiable was 1980.
These are quality porn films that had real porn actors delivering from a script and not simply acting for the camera. Actors such as John Leslie, Jessie St. James, Marilyn Chambers, Paul Thomas. All attractive people. Directors such as Alex De Renzy (always quality) just amazing talents who gave it their all. These days it's a quick fix, for instant gratification. Terrible acting to go with the scripts. Ever since the advent of VCR's (remember them?), creating film was gone and shooting on tape with it's bad quality was less expensive and the way to go. So, the art / porn houses have folded and the talent has completely deteriorated. What can be done to make porn better? Nothing.
I don't watch much professionally-made porn--I infinitely prefer amateur porn--but my wife and I did really enjoy the movie "Pirates." Yes, it had some of the stupid popular tropes, but it had a million-dollar budget, actual acting, and some beautifully self-referential humor. I can't recommend it too hard.
My thoughts of what would make porn better, off the top of my cranium:
Fewer fake moans
Fewer close-ups; I want to watch people fucking, not organs fucking
More "real" bodies (including a shortage of six-inch fingernails and four-inch eyelashes)
More plausible plots; as others have said, please do mine Lush for plots. Or take a novel and include all the stated or implied sex, but keep the plot
Fewer cumshots, if any. I don't need to actually see a guy coming; every time some moron pulls out of a perfectly good mouth or pussy to jerk himself off, I think "idiot. You just pulled out of a perfectly good mouth/pussy to jerk off. Why not just stay home?" Or at least make it part of the plot (she doesn't want to get pregnant, she gags if he comes in her mouth, she needs his semen to activate her magic bracelet, I don't care), so it's not so jarring to what little sense of realism I have left. And if you must pull out, by all the gods let her jerk you; if you don't want her participating, go home!
No spitting. Seriously.
I'm sure there are other things, but these'll do for now.
