Drama-porn?
Or maybe it's the belief that women cannot have sex without becoming emotional(ly attached).
But yeah, there's also the Madonna/Whore thing about the whole thing, especially when you realize that Yuri=Lily=Purity.
There's also a lot of Yaoi which are primarily about emotions, but some places seems to confuse how to classify them (it's sex, so it's yaoi, but it's primarily about emotions and not a lot of sex pages when looking at the total page count, so it's BL?).
Meh, at this point I'm pretty sure that there's plenty of both, especially doujins of Sailor Moon and Magic Knight Rayearth, that provides pornographic sex (seriously, I was introduced to Yuri by ways of a Minako/Usagi/Rei threesome, lets just say that Love Me Chain gained a new meaning in my impressionable thirteen year old mind). Might also be why I often think of yaoi/yuri to be pornographic counterparts of one another.
