It CONTAINS porn. 10 pages worth of sex scenes in a 600 paged-book does not make the other 590 pages porn by association.

Yes your “spicy” romance books are LITERALLY porn. If there are explicit sex scenes then it’s porn. Which is cool, enjoy them! But let’s not pretend that it’s something different just cuz it’s squished between vanilla filler & a pretty cover.

Literally sooo many tv shows have sex scenes and are not labeled porn. Even some pg-13 movies fall under this definition, but wouldn’t be labeled as porn either🙄

How did I guess that there’d be at least one idiot who argues with the literal definition. You could’ve just commented so it’d be easier to block you.

it doesn’t matter if it’s porn or not as long as it’s advertised and rated properly.

It’s basically porn with a plot. Before you ask, yes, I’ve gave them a shot and read various books and even ended up in the dark romance genre.

I was #9 in the original post, but all ima say is that the actual smut is porn just like how I’d say a 2-3 minute sex scene in a Hollywood blockbuster is also porn, however I think where some people start to pull on their butt hairs is when you categorize the WHOLE piece of content as porn but my question is, how much plot does there need to be before it isn’t porn anymore?

Oh cool yeah I blocked them yesterday. Some of us have critical thinking skills beyond a dictionary definition.

That’s a silly take definitions are factually anything outside of that is an opinion if it can’t be proven with a fact. Critical thinking skills would tell you that.

I’ve seen “spicy romance” books that contain porn and are advertised to minors. and even for adults, it’s important to be clear about its content since pornography is a severe no-go for a lot of people (myself included)

Definitions can mean 5 different things. Critical thinking skills would tell you that. There is a fundamental difference between visual porn, which is colloquially what people mean when they say porn, and written text. Equating spicy scenes in books to filmed pornography is like equating violence in books to snuff films. They’re foundationally different in harm to real humans and also scientific effect on the brain. This is a tired discussion and OP of the last post was toxic in other threads.
