[QUOTE="Angcuru, post: 1465259, member: 10948"] There seems to be some confusion between what is Porn, and what it Erotica. Literally, by the dictionary... Erotica: literary or artistic works having an erotic theme or quality; depicitions of things erotic Erotic: of, devoted to, or tending to arouse sexual love or desire (~ art); strongly marked or affected by sexual desire Pornography: the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement; material (as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement; the depiction of actions in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction More bluntly, Erotica is the depiction of a nude form or love scene for the sake of art or the depiction and/or expression or emotions, most notably love and desire. Pornography is an image, memory, picture, etc. that one keeps around as a substitute for sexual activity or general excitemement or just for a 'quick release'. NOW TO THE TOPIC AT HAND! It may not be (as so many others have stated) what we as humans would recognize as pornographic by our standards, but it is doubtless there, nonetheless. But I would venture a guess that any intelligent race of mammals finds sex to be a pleasureable activity, and thus takes an approach to it similar to ours. Orcs may be universally into S&M, for instance, while Elves may focus greatly on the foreplay aspect of sex. This would in turn be reflected in their pornography, respectively. [/QUOTE]
