The other part of it is the question, what is served by the sex scene? if it furthers the emotional arc of the characters, it's either erotica or romance. If it's just there for the sake of having a sex scene, it verges into porn (again depending on the amount of plot and the graphicness of the description of sex)
in romance, it's not just "sex" it's "making love" because it's the emotions that are important.

But why is it the same sex scene is porn in one book and not in another? Would it not be one or the other based on the scene and not what's around it?
