What’s the Difference: Porn vs. Erotica

I’m going to be a part of 20×2 v. 8.0 (to be held at this year’s SXSW) — but in order for my presentation to be as rocking as possible, I’m going to need your help. So tell me: what’s the difference between porn and erotica?

One line quips are preferred.

  • Joel says :

    Erotica is porn to which you’ve yet to masturbate.

  • nadir says :

    porn is the electron, whilst erotica the proton – in that porn is hectic, less than focused, a hodgepodge or an all you can eat buffet and erotica deals with the simmering want inside with direct applied pressure to quench desire

  • Conrad B Grossman says :

    The difference is the person looking at it. If they think it’s porn, it’s porn. If they think it’s erotica, it’s erotica. Or…

    Porn is made for the sole purpose of masturbation, or getting off with a partner, erotica is made for art.

  • Isil says :

    To qoute O. Wilde:

    “Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.”

    We could rephrase it

    Erotica, like art, means drawing a line someplace

  • Amber says :

    Well, of course there’s the old classic…

    “Erotica is what *I* like. Porn is what *you* like, you pervert.”

  • Xorn Smith says :

    Porn is for the cock/pussy, erotica is for the brain…and the cock/pussy.

  • birdbath says :

    Porn is what you jerk off to on your own. Erotica is what you watch with your partner.

  • Patrick Di Justo says :

    The difference between porn and erotica is the dialogue.

  • Rachel says :

    The eye of the beholder. And their brain. Erotica oftens leaves more to fill in and think about.
