Is it pornography, though? [...] What makes a sex scene pornographic, I wonder?

I'd highly like to recommend that folks interested in discussing this take a glance over the intimate choreography thread, and/or the Minthara Intimacy thread, if you haven't done so already; between them, they talk in detail about the different tools and choices that must be made when setting up, designing and executing an intimate scene, and how it presents itself. They discuss, as well, pitching your scenes correctly for the type of scene - romantic, intimate, erotic or pornographic - you are trying to make, and it might help folks grapple with the topic and discuss it with a firmer footing.
