Erotica Versus Porn…


Porn…

- pornography: creative activity (writing or pictures or films etc.) of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire

- Pornography or porn is the depiction of explicit sexual subject matter for the purposes of sexual excitement.

Erotica…

- erotic - giving sexual pleasure; sexually arousing

- Erotic - Eroticism is an aesthetic focus on sexual desire, especially the feelings of anticipation of sexual activity. It is not only the state of arousal and anticipation, but also the attempt through various means to incite those feelings.

And this - I particularly like and believe the last two lines…

"I've always had a problem defining Porn vs erotica vs romance. Maybe I'm being too simplistic, but if it's wall-to-wall [or floor*g*] sex, with no real attempt at plot or multi-dimensional characterizations, then it's porn. But if it has all the plottiness etc, then it's whatever you want to call it. Either way, you pay your money and take your choice. I don't much like labels, anyhow."

The answer? There is no answer. Its personal perception and belief.
