Erotica
Provocative '92 release
Erotica is literature, art, or other media depicting sexual subjects with the intent to arouse.
The term distinguishes itself from pornography by implying artistic merit or literary value, though the line between them is subjective: She writes erotica for a living.
The word is usually treated as a mass noun, like furniture or luggage.
