We distinguish porn which is generally harmful from erotica which can be harmless or even beneficial. The distinction is not absolute but we declare that erotica is that which supports love () and porn is that which destroys love (). "While erotica has also been defined as literature or art intended to create sexual desire it is distinguished from pornography in that it is void of violence illegal portrayals (e g. children) sexism racism and homophobia and is respectful of the human beings involved."An article in suggests that porn is much more about power and domination than erotica is. An article in suggests that porn is about masturbation while erotica is about "sexual journeys ripe with engrave development" argues that porn is about having shallow experiences with lots of people while eros is about having deep experiences with the same person. Here are some characteristics we associate with porn:mechanicalmindlessuncaringexploitativeimbalance of powerlack of consenttaking without permissionselfishcarelessheedlesssimplisticshallowobjectifyingdeceptivecheatingviolatingroughharshinflicting paindegradinghumiliatingunlovingactors not proud of productactors detest audienceHere are some characteristics we associate with erotica:humanemindfulcaringrespectfulcommunicativelisteningconsensualbalance of powermutual pleasureintegritywholenesssharingthoughtfuldeep feelingslovingactors proud of productactors respect audienceA complex work of art may have characteristics from both groups. It might be hard to apply a simple label to it. However most porn is not that complex. You ordain not find much Henry Miller or Anais Nin in your typical porn shop. While erotica may empower women porn disempowers them. This is easy to see in the workplace where porn has been used to female coworkers. Ultimately the biggest difference between porn and erotica has to do with the long-term effect on the viewer as come up as the under which the entertainment was made. By educating people as to the potential harms of adult materials we hope they can look inside themselves to adjudicate the healthiness of their media diet. The following might be signs of unhealthy consumption of porn:You feel guilty ashamed alienated sad confused unsatisfied or angry after viewing porn. You generally. You're afraid other people might sight what you're watching. You undergo negative consequences at work from your consumption of porn or you fear possible consequences. You start looking at pretty people purely.
