Default Difference between \'erotica\' and \'porn\'?

Is there one? Explain, please.

Pics accepted gratefully.

Taschen's erotica rides the fine line, but I still consider it erotica.

Roy Stuart is brilliant, IMO.

Erotica is printed on better paper.

And is usually more expensive.

There's no difference, just different terms. Anyone who says different doesn't want their "erotica" referred to as porn. I don't know why.

erotica doesn't have a money shot.

Erotica can be hung on the wall an appreciated as art. That is not to say you wouldn't consider running off a batch looking at it. Porn is more explicit, and often less erotic.

As long as "That is not to say you wouldn't consider running off a batch looking at it." is true, it doesn't matter where YOU would like to hang it. Someone else thinks it's porn. No matter how tasteful and subdued porn is, or how explicit and dirty erotica is, they are different words for the same thing. If it makes you feel better about soft-core porn to call it erotica, be my guest. I love porn in all its forms and don't care what you call it.

BUT JOHN ASHCROFT KNOWS WHAT YOU LIKE TO LOOK AT, MUAHHAAHAHAHA!

Feminists get to call the porn they like "erotica".
