From what I understand, some eroges are outright porn, yes.

However, the more well-known ones (and certainly the ones most likely to get adapted into anime) are basically Relationship Simulators. Some of them may have more complex plots surrounding them, but at their core, they're Relationship Simulators (I tend to use the term "Date Sim" but I'm not sure if that fully captures it in some cases).

Well, real life romantic relationships tend to include sex, of course. So that's in an eroge.

But for something to be porn, imo, the sex content has to override everything else, and whatever plot there is really does revolve around the sex. With a lot of the more prominent eroge titles, that's simply not the case (it certainly isn't in G Senjou no Maou, the only professional eroge I played a fair bit of).

If a 2-hour Hollywood romance movie has two sex scenes each lasting a few minutes, would most people call it porn? No, not at all. So many eroge have no business being labeled "porn", imo. Hence, I voted "no" to this poll.
