I hesitate to put this into a separate category, but because “erotica for women” is such a popular topic explicitly sought out by people when searching for content, I will dabble a bit into what this term can mean and how it came about. At the end of the day, what matters to an individual is whether they enjoy the content and whether the content was created and used fairly and ethically. The above attempt of differentiating the two in everyday use is a pretty rough comparison though, and doesn’t reflect the broad diversity of erotica, pornography, and other content that might be considered both, that exists out there. As such, pornography is more commonly considered to be more “graphic” (figuratively and literally) compared to erotica, and erotica is considered a softer form of sexually arousing content – something you might find someone reading on their kindle on the subway, as many people did when Fifty Shades of Grey came out around the same time people started using e-readers to discreetly hide their reading in plain sight.
