Porn is cold = it may as well be two manikins fucking.

Erotica is hot= It has passion and feeling between two people who are not fucking to make a wage.

If it turns me on it's erotica.
But if it turns other people on, it's porn.
Sorry if this sounds confusing but understand I'm an American, where it's hip to be a hypocrite!

if it reads like it was typed with one hand, it's probably porn

It's a range ending in extremes - Porn on one end, Erotica on the other.

Of the two, Porn is most forgetful because there is little thought invested into its craftsmanship by its creators and thus little thought is invested into its appreciation by its  audience.

Erotica is the opposite.

Erotica stimulates your mind, first, then your body parts.

Porn just gives you a quick orgasm.

The real difference between the two is probably the person watching/ reading/  ...the sex.

porn is erotica corrupted by capitalism - in that sense, it is difficult to separate porn from erotica since we are all imbued by capitalism.

Erotica is the description of the mystery of love expressed through the act of sex.

That is hands down by far the best interpretation that I have ever heard.

Thanks for the kind comment.

As an aside, I sent someone a link to Pound's Canto XXXIX expecting a response of something like, 'wow, cool poetry'; instead, I got, 'what are you sending me this porn for?'  I was quite shocked to receive the response.
