I've said it before here (not this discussion but other ones that talked about romance) - in romance, it's all about the story, the character arc. Sometimes (just like in real life) that character arc is furthered by sex. I don't read much straight erotica, because the ratio of sex:story is more skewed than I like, but even in erotica, it's about the characters. When there's no character arc, little or no story, when the sex just exists for titillation, then it's porn. And people are more than welcome to read porn if they like... just don't confuse it with erotica or romance.
