Dialog.
I think terms like these are pretty much user-defined. For me I'd say that erotica might draw my thoughts in a sexual direction, but porn is specifically for fapping to.
Like for instance starting a thread just to point out that somebody said something nice about you![]()
Great post. I agree but owe you thanks for introducing me to 'fapping to'
Both words stem from Greek and are still a bit vague in definition.
'erotica' from 'erotikos' is generally described as literature or art intended to arouse sexual desire. A 19thC British bookseller first used it to demarcate his 'naughty books' shelf.
Pornography, from 'pornographos', writing about prostitutes, means printed or visual material with explicit display or description of sexual organs.
To my mind, all stories on Lit fall into the erotica cat as there is no visual display.

Non-erotic: Sex is incidental to the story.
Erotic: Sex is essential to the story.
Pornographic: Sex is all. What story?

My one-page story XYZ-BOMBER JOURNAL is non-erotic -- the topic is political violence. Sex is mentioned and briefly described, but is not a major feature of the story, which would not really have fit into any of the erotic categories. On a different tangent, my just-submitted THE BIG BANANA contains graphic sex -- but unless you have a mollusc fetish, you probably won't find it erotic.I though that non- erotic had no sex.
Probably.Hypoxia you sure?
I don't know why, but if you do, I half expect it to be the next Confederacy of Dunces. So go for it, you have all my encouragement!What if I write an autobiography and call it THE MAKING OF AN ANAL-YST?
