They pretty much mean the same thing. If any of those elements are trashy then the book is of poor quality. You can not have one without the other. They are interchangeable.
Adding sex scenes does not change the quality of the book unless they are badly or awkwardly written because the author hasn't written them before but that doesn't really say the book is trashy. The trashy term is so derogatory it should never be used unless the book is poorly done or badly written.
