Porno or Not?

Where to start?  When I read romance books that have sex scenes in them, most times the scenes are somewhat brief and you get the general idea of what is going on.  There have been a few books I have read where there was more steamy scenes but yet I don't consider the books to be pornographic.  There is a huge difference in what I consider to be porn and what I consider to be artistic and something that fits into the plot of the story.  In most books I have personally read that contained sex/love scenes, the sex wasn't something that was just thrown into the story to add something to it.  I think that is the case with pornographic books and movies.  The sex is thrown in the plot and when it happens it doesn't always fit.  What I believe romance books are generally for is entertainment, something to take you away from the real world, something you can enjoy wherever you are.  This can be said about most books people read.  However, with porno movies/books, I think most people have other things in mind when watching or reading them.  I don't know many people that would openly read or watch a movie that is pornographic in public.  My opinion on Bet Me is that it is like many other books I have read in the sense that I don't believe it to be pornographic in any way.  But just as I have been reading in other blog posts, everyone has their own definition of what is considered porn and what is not.  Does this mean that Bet Me is pornographic?  To me no, but to someone else it could be.  It all depends on how someone was raised and what they believe.
