Isn't pornography supposed to 'corrupt and deprave' in UK law?

I tend to think erotica is a bit more subtle, and engages the imagination, more than pornography.

Nabokov's 'Lolita' is erotic, but not pornographic imho, because it is sensuous but not explicit (even though it's undeniably depraved ).
