I view it as being different from a cheap penthouse press novel in the exact same way a nice decanter of Glen Livet is different from a bottle of everclear in a paper bag. The people who read it are as different from people reading other porn as Glen livet drinkers are different from everclear drinkers. The level of pretentiousness.
The same goes for Eve Ensler's "Vagina Monologues."

Hmm, reminds me of James Joyce's
Ulysses and D.H. Lawrence's
Lady Chatterley among other literary "classics".
