Notes:

Erotica explores thought and imagery related to what is sexual. It is distinct from pornography in that pornography aims solely at physical arousal, but erotica incorporates a story and character to engage the reader's thought and emotion regarding desire. Accordingly, erotica is very diverse in subject matter. It is explicit, and provocative, but not necessarily graphic; where pornography just tells, erotica aims to show and evoke.
