Visual Novels = Basically anything that's literally a visual novel. This would include properties like Higurashi and Umineko, which are horror/mystery-driven (although I'm not sure if they have sex scenes or not).

Eroges = VNs that focus on romance, and include at least one sex scene per route.

Nukige = This is basically porn, yes.


All Nukiges are Eroges, but not all Eroges are Nukiges.

All Eroges are VNs, but not all VNs (though most, it seems) are Eroges.
I also was under the impression that an eroge was more of a dating sim that also featured the sex scenario, generally as an end result. I wouldn't consider something to be "porn" simply because of the presence of sexual content. Most media in our day and age involving romance has implied sexual content, after all.
