I was just looking over the
Love or Violence? thread, and it occurred to me that the difference between erotica and porn is often compared to the difference between love and violence, pornography generally being considered the more violent act.
It is another viewpoint; though as I've indicated before, pornography (raw, explicit sex) doesn't have to be violent; neither is erotica (romanticized sex) always about love. The definition can go either way... which is another way of saying it doesn't really work.
