OK. The Greek origin of the first part of the word pornography is either porneia - sexual desire - or he porni, a prostitute. It can be translated, therefore, either as “pictures of or writing about sex”, or “pictures of prostitutes”.
The Greek word for “sexual” is actually “sexualikos”, so perhaps the original quote of @Papasan should have been “things that are not porneia, but look sexual.”
How does it feel being an overbearing smartass? I expect I’ll regret it in the morning.
