I like smut manga but i can't help but wonder does smut counted as porn?

I am a gal and i never watch porn before...so i really don't know....

Somehow i don't want smut to be counted....but the materials are quite similar to porn

So is there anything to distinguish btw them?

What do girls think?

What do guys think?

is the focus of it, sex?

The focus of smut is...indeed sex.

But yeah...I don't count anything like smut or hentai to be really porn...I view that as more of real people doing it...>_>
And no, I do not watch porn.

Then its porn.

If it was just a small factor, then it might be mature reading or something, but not as the main focus.

When I'm reading something classified as smut I'm definitely expecting to read a sex scene or something just as bad. So I count it as porn just more softcore, I guess. But that doesn't mean I see it as porn though because it isn't as hardcore.

But well porn basically has no plot. And some smutty mangas do, that's how I distinguish the two anyway.

ecchi<smut<hentai
hentai=porn

Porn?...
No~
Hentai=porn.
Smut is a level lower. It's like those american movies where they just must show a sex scene.

soft porn indeed. More like story line porn...you know like with the stories about the doctor and his patient or something goofy like that.

It's like the stuff they show on later night HBO and Showtime, nothing really graphic.

Hmmmm....
Well, I would say that in a way, it is porn, but a lot softer since it is female aimed.
I mean, real porn is super raunchy and I find it gross.
Smut, on the other hand, doesn't depict really graphic things, and there is usually more emotion and plot involved with it. Like the two people being in love with each other.
So I guess you could consider it porn, but it's really more emotional than sexual in some ways.
Ahh, I don't know!

if you gotta be 18 to buy it (in the US) it's porn...

you don't seem to understand but there's hentai with beter story than classic manga... hentai isn't always just about a girl getting fucked in every hole in 25 page.
People that say smut isn't porn are just saying so because they think it's a good thing not to read porn and are proud of themselve for not reading them, but you should try some hentai with good story and see for yourself, you might be surprised...
For me smut is more like erotic manga than porn but i often consider some smut manga to be porn, because it get me excited, on the other hand some hentai are so "lovely" that i find myself not excited but just happy to read a good story about two person have sex because they just love each other...
