How would you define "erotic" as opposed to "vulgar?"?

And how would you explain the difference to the anally preoccupied prudes who insist on reporting such "erotica?"

erotic is when you use a feather...

vulgar (and kinky) is when you use the whole chicken

a supreme court justice once said that pornagraphy is hard to define, but i know it when i see it. i think that is perfect for what you are trying to do

It was oliver wendal holmes that said what anthro199 is saying....

and I agree.
Its in the eye of the beholder

erotic is sensual and sexual, vulgar is crude and disgusting

Erotic is sexy. Vulgar is nasty.

Vulgar is any picture or peice of writing that demeans and puts down the and just basically protrays someone in a negative sexual scenaro oppisite sex

Erotic is a very tasteful peice of art or picture that highlights and brings out the sensuality of the oppisite sex in a very healthy and positive way

John has it partly right, what you do with the chicken afterwards that could be vulgar.

thats easy

Erotic is sexy and classy. Dressed well and in good taste and uplifting
Vulgar is downright pornagraphric nasty content with evil lure....and put down
