Pornography or porn is the explicit depiction ofsexual subject matter, especially with the sole intention of sexually exciting the viewer. It is to a certain extent similar toerotica which is the use of sexually-arousing imagery for mainly artistic purposes.
Erotica (from the GreekEros - "desire") or "curiosa," works of art, including literature, photography, film, sculpture and painting, that deal substantively with eroticallystimulating or sexually arousing descriptions. Erotica is a modern word used to describe the portrayal of the human anatomy and sexuality with high-art aspirations, differentiating such work from commercial pornography."Curiosa" is generally used to refer to erotica and pornography as discrete, collectible items, usually in published or printed form.
