Blue comedy is comedy about sex. It could be a short joke or a story.

Erotica is a story with sex, but not necessarily funny.

I've actually never heard the term before. Do you have any examples of this blue comedy?

Blue comedy is what they used to call 'ribaldry'.

Here's the definition from Urban Dictionary.com:

"Blue comedy is a style of comedy that is off-color, risqué, indecent or profane, largely about sex. It often contains profanity and/or sexual imagery that may shock and offend some audience members."

When I think about 'blue comedy' the first person who comes to mind is Andrew Dice Clay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWzI_Wn0ZwM

Erotica is something entirely different. It's a much broader category, including erotic art, erotic poetry, erotic dance, erotic fiction, and so on.

In my view, to put it simply, erotica is art of any form with sexuality as one of its primary components.

He probably has an idea for a story and doesn't know what genre to label it as.
