Soooo...
Romance - The primary story is about the relationships, and interactions. Sexual activities are just one optional factor in that.
Erotica - The primary story is still mainly about the relationships, but the sexual activity becomes a major player in the plot.
Porn - There may or may not even be a relationship, or much of a story, as the primary focus is on the sexual activities.

Yup, that's pretty much the way I see it too. The subjective factor comes merely in where you draw the lines. For some there is no middle ground (erotica), and for others there may be no such thing as porn or romance (although I think that would be very difficult to justify).
