Oh, I quite agree on that point! But there *is* a distinction, even if
it's one we can't agree on, and it is a distinction that I think most
people both see and appreciate.

I suspect that for material at the far ends of the spectrum, there would
be quite broad agreement on what was "erotica" and what was
"pornography", but it gets murky in the middle.
