Except that there really is some thing called torture porn. As far as I know, there are no categories of sexually explicit films aimed specifically towards people with sexual fetishes for fabric or rollercoasters.
I wouldn't call slasher films "torture porn" any more than I would call
Armageddon an astronomy documentary.
