No? Men read smut and women watch porn. They are both erotic, but smut is porn as books are to television/movies.

I meant to say “smut is to porn as books are to television/movies,” not “smut is porn” 😂 My whole point was that it’s not!

Are books the same as movies to you?

I never said porn and smut aren’t under the same category, but falling under the same category doesn’t make two things the same.

I googled the definition of porn since all of you seem to have forgotten that that is possible. Porn: printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings. So, books are included

If you don’t think smut gives unrealistic impressions of sex just as much as porn then you are deluding yourself

Yes, printed as in a magazine with erotic photos, not as in erotic writing.

Hey, so erotic photos would fall under the “visual material” portion of that definition! “Printed” refers to text :)
