Quote:But where does one draw the line between Pornography and Erotica?
The difference between say "Bilitis" (which I saw when it first came out in1977) and say "Debbie does Dallas",porn of about the same vintage which I finally watched about 10 minutes of in the early 1990's. (after the divorce
). Erotica is romantic,often idealised and visually beautiful. Pornography is as subtle as an enema,and as about as aesthetically pleasing to watch. However,I guess when it comes to actually drawing a line,it comes down to individual sensibilities.
I also dislike tacky.EG: I hate 'Californication' mainly because I think David Dukovny's character is a sleaze. I also dislike "Two And A Half Men" because of Charlie Sheen's disgusting attitude to women. (which I understand reflects his real life behaviour) The character is a role model for his nephew who is tacitly encouraged to behave the same way as his shallow dropkick uncle, rather than his more decent father who is portrayed as a weak, gay-as-a-lark loser.
