Erotica means art or literature that may be erotic in nature. This type of content is known to increase sexual excitement.

What is Porn?

Pornography is the exact opposite of erotica. The sole purpose of porn is to arouse the viewer for sexual intercourse. Many watch it before masturbation or having sex with another. The difference between a pornographer and an artist is that the artist enhances sexuality through his art as well as the effect of their beauty on the mind and senses. So pornography has nothing to do with mind and aesthetical consequences. Its direct purpose is to stimulate sex. Pornography not only shows nudity, but also sex. It also shows how the two have sex.

No one watches porn videos or photos over and over again, because it's not art. Pornography is also a way to make money. In addition, porn does not show the physical beauty of a man or a woman.
