Romance vs erotica

I decided this belonged to it's own thread, so instead of going off topic, I'm starting a different one.

I think it is healthy to engage in active discussion. I also went to Catholic school too so got one version from mom, other version similar to the nuns by the other poster at school. WTHeck? Sorry to be off topic, but what in the world does erotica have to do with Harlequin Romance books???? Even the "superromance" ones with a little bit more graphic descriptions in the sexual passages... Still, aren't anywhere NEAR comparison to erotica. Addiction to Romance novels, is addiction, need to read about the "romance" part. Addiction to erotica is the addiction to reading about sex. Are you addicted to both? or... (sorry, thought just occurred to me).. .when your mom gave you harlequin romance books... did you ONLY look for the sex parts, and only read 5% of the book? that you didn't actually read the harlequins????
