Erotica benefits from the traditional story structure in heightening audience participation in the experience, and hence, arousal. In comparison, Porn is just moving bodies. The sex is ultimately meaningless, whereas the sex in Erotica has greater significance as it has meaning due to the circumstances surrounding it in the story.

So in Erotica, the sex does not simply lead to physical/aesthetic satisfaction, but also dramatic and emotional satisfaction.

It's a bit like the way sex after a nice date, or a long amount of foreplay, is more satisfying then sex alone, say with a prostitute.

You can do a lot fantasizing while aroused, and porn alone kind of squishes that element of the experience, which I find to be the most pleasurable aspect.
Nice to have a guy (assuming you're male) speak up on what triggers women in regards to erotica and why a good majority abhor porn

As for the 'internet remembering forever', that's to say that Asuki will forever be about or there wouldn't be a server crash or even that we'd not edit/delete or watch what we post
More craziness happening on social network sites than here, but then again, this thread will now appear on google search xD
