I've never been too hung up on labels. I think most of us know enough horror movies that aren't "horrifying", even by design, yet the genre seems a good enough way to categorize them.
Some of the qualities that attract me to these pornos seem unrelated, or even antithetical to their genre, but at the same time that genre seems like a good enough way to refer to them, in light of their overall use of tropes. I consider it a descriptor more than a judgment.

But, yes. it is semantics in a sense. "I know it when I see it" and all of that.
