Sex is obviously a fact of life, otherwise none of us would be here. As a part of life, it is a part of any life story. You may consider it to be an ugly or "not to be talked about" part of life but nevertheless it is a part of life. We can bury our heads in the sand and pretend it isn't there, but it is. Sometimes it does enliven the story and makes a significant point. Sometimes it is just filler and carries no real importance to the story being told. And sometimes it is the thrust of the story. (No pun intended.)
The main difference between what any of us define as pornography and erotica is that one is usually more subtle, gentle, and socially accepted than the other. I'll let you decide which is which.  |
I think you're missing the point entirely. I was trying to say that the Porn that's labelled as "Erotica" is trying to pass itself off as something it's not. It's porn.
I'm not saying that porn is ok, or it isn't ok. And it's probably not an argument that could be settled here anyway
