Pornography vs Erotica

I prefer erotica.....it is intellectually stimulating.

Pornography is such an ugly word and places limits on the value of the media. While erotica and pornography may denote the same image, the connotation of the words are vastly different.

Pornography definition: the depiction of erotic behavior intended to cause sexual excitement.

Erotic definition: devoted to, or tending to arouse sexual love or desire.
Erotica definition: literary or artistic items having an erotic theme or quality.

That is why we are the "adult entertainment industry" and sellers of erotica.

The Christo-naziis try to frame their arguments in terms of "pornography" and "child protection," while the FSC and adult industry leaders frame the same arguments in terms of "rights to privacy", "First Amendment Rights", and "anti-censorship."

When we, the adult industry members, use the term "pornography," we play into the hands of the religious right and legitimize their arguments by applying their terminology to our selves and our products.

We can do better.



Are you a pornographer, selling pornography? Think about it....
