Karma Sutra Positions Erotica Or Porn

What is the difference between pornography and erotica? Well, for some people not much; they are both created to sexually arouse the reader or viewer and both contain 'themes' that would only be consider decent for adults.

However, when you look beneath the surface there are more differences than meet the eye. The main difference is that erotica will have a plot, a story arc, characters that mature and there should be some underlying literary merit to the style of the prose. Pornography, on the other hand goes from one sex scene to the next for no other purpose than to arouse; although karma sutra positions may be practised, there sure isn't any of the depth of the kama sutra book.

Today, the pornography industry on the internet is enormous. In 2006 the number of searches with the word 'sex' exceeded 75 million and there are 4.2 million pornographic websites available for users. A lot of people are getting in on the act and writing there own stories.

But is this porn or erotica? It could be said that it is all in the eye of the beholder. The kuma sutra has for generations in many cultures been considered both lewd and informative, pornographic and spiritual. So, which is it? Well, these days most of the karma sutra positions are well known and widely demonstrated on porn sites, but that doesn't make them the same.

doujin may not have a story, but it is a guide; it shows and describes the various karma sutra positions as well as other techniques for before, during and after making love. Thought in this way, the kuma sutra wouldn't be considered pornography.

In the original kama sutra book showed karma sutra positions in illustrated forms and that is the direction internet porn is going these days with more and more animated videos being produced.

Of course all these types of pornography need to be written and a lot of people who started off by writing there fantasies and sending them to porn sites end up earning a lot of money as full time writers in the industry.
