Can erotic stories have too much plot?

There was a discussion on social media recently surrounding plotting in erotica. Specifically, can an erotic story be too plot-heavy?

It's an interesting question considering that some persons think all erotic stories have no plot at all.

Personally, I think there's an erotic story out there for everyone. Some stories have little to no plot, others strike a balance, and the third kind has a more complicated story with erotic scenes.

I think most of my stories fall in the second category and a couple of them are in the third. (The urban fantasy erotica I'm working on now definitely belongs in the third group but that's another story).

Perhaps the real concern is that readers won't be interested in erotica that isn't a light read,

What do you think? Can an erotic story have too much plot? Would you stop reading if it did?
