If it's a romance with sex, it's not erotica. If it's about a character's journey sexually, it is. But if it's mostly sex, and the sex is aimed to arouse as well as further the story, I'd call it erotica. Someone'll come over with a better definition than that.

Well done. And seconding it, too. It's not about number of sex scenes, it's about the story.
