Re: Difference between \'erotica\' and \'porn\'?
I just call it a "book" My wife reads these mystery novels with a lotta pipe-laying going on in them. If it cranks up the ol' estrogen, then go for it, I say.

Re: Difference between \'erotica\' and \'porn\'?
I actually took a class in my undergrad called "Porn in the USA."
Erotica and porn are on a continuum so there are definitely some gray areas. But key difference is why the thing in question was produced - if it's for artistic reasons, then it's erotica, but if it's produced as a good, to be consumed, then it's porn. In general, erotica tends to be more implicit and porn is explicit. Erotica is often written or painted, porn is videotaped or photographic. There are definitely some blurry lines, but that's the gist.

Re: Difference between \'erotica\' and \'porn\'?
A lot of people will say the difference is one of explicitness. I disagree.
I feel the line you can draw between porn and erotica (and it's a fuzzy one,to be sure) is mostly one of intent. Porn's main goal is to titilate,to get you off. Period. While Erotica can do the same, I think there is also an artistic intent in the making of it. The makers of Erotica are tying to do more than get you off- they are trying to express themselves artisically through their chosen medium. Anyway,that's my two cents.

Re: Difference between \'erotica\' and \'porn\'?
Erotica- Skinimax type stuff/non-sexually explicit (some explicit) artwork. Also, penthouse letters type stuff falls into some people's definition of erotica
