Pleasing everyone is "lawful-chaotic" path, means nothing, leads to nowhere. I don't think it's a good way to go. Like modern Hollywood - maximize audience, minimize engagement, result is mediocre at best.
Guess I see what you want and I think there is no inherited antilogy between story and erotica. It's just good writing/directing vs bad writing/directing, simple as that. Then one side is much stronger and the other is bolted to it "just because", obviously strong side will be damaged by the latter and will cause irritation. Imagine a good movie being regularly interrupted by commercial segments, or joke without setup, or useless political comment. If characters are like -lets unravel this alien conspiracy-, and then -oh, we have free time, lets fuck-, obviously, story will be damaged and sex will not be appealing.
Sex is a logical result of chain of events and is mostly peak of relationship. If characters has strong relations(or will develop them) or when lured with justifiable set of events, at the right moment sex will fits just right. And don't forget about good amount of tease! Relationship development by itself could be a serious story and everything else is just a facade. Also sex is a form of reward, and reward is only good if you had fought for it, earned it. Even if there is no interactivity for viewer(i.e. comics, movie) it could be established as an overcome of some struggles, characters tensions etc.
P.S. Happy New Year!

Personally I think fan service/sex scenes are a good thing in a well written story, only when they happen as in reality could (at the end of a nice date, as a "last present" during a birthday, etc..).
I don't hate "free" fan service but the thing is that's becoming like a clichè nowadays ("oh, his/her room is unlocked, let's peek! oh noes he/she's naked *insert enormous genitals here* ", "hey, how are you? MAD! Let's fuck to make you feel better"... )
All of that imho naturally, I'm not here to judge anything or anyone.

There's a lot of cliches with anime fan service that can get old, like punching a due for walking in on a lady, but I love the idea of sexy outfits, characters interacting in sexy/intimate ways that are not just in the bedroom. Characters being sexy because they are in an world where that is normal is what I like!
