"pornography; ...designed to be sexually arousing." (Chambers English dictionary)
"eroticism: ...interest in, or pursuit of, sexual sensations." (Chambers English dictionary)
English is my first language and I can't really tell the difference. I suppose that pornography is an erotic product. You can have erotic art, which is intended by the artist to invoke an emotion beyond pure lust, Dance can include eroticism, while being artistic. What the product consists of (*****, S&M, etc.) is irrelevant.
But iS isn't art, although elements of the dance may be artistic. It is pornographic or, if you prefer, erotic. The xxx discussion relates to degree of explicitness and format. Contributors (not me, because I'm not really a fan of the xxx cards) are getting into knots trying to differentiate the words and attributing meanings to them that don't exist.
As for exploitation, are we being exploited by women who take our money, exploiting our weakness for seeing them with no pants on? Of course we are. As we were by Titian when he painted Venus and sold it, on when we pay to listen to a couple of girls singing the Flower Duet. There's no disrespect associated with exploiting somebody's desires for financial gain, so long as it is a fair trade between adults with nobody being conned or bullied into the transaction. Totem doesn't con or bully the models, so any disrespect is purely in our imagination.
So, @Terbone, I suggest you can ignore the semantic hair-splitting. Tell them to write it in Dutch!
