Aren't you assuming these two are at different sides of a "reality joint"?
I tend to treat these words as more or less synonyms in that they refer to the same thing but express different attitude on the part of the speaker.
I chose those examples because the edge cases seem distinct, but the distinction seems very hard to formally define.
I don't think the edge cases are as distinct as they seem to you to be.
Generally speaking, pornography and eroticism are two-argument things, the first argument is the object (the text/image/movie), and the second argument is the subject (the reader/watcher) together with all his cultural and personal baggage.
Trying to assume away the second argument isn't going to work. The cultural and individual differences are too great.
Doesn't seem lawmakers see it the same way.
