My only wish is that people would stop classifying ALL erotica as "porn." The word "porn" should be used only when referring to hardcore depictions or otherwise x-rated images, otherwise all we do is perpetuate myths and promote ignorance. I agree with you. There is a difference between an artistic nude and a snapshot nude, as there is between an artistic portrait and a snapshot portrait.
