I don't have any clear line at all, and I don't think one exists. It depends on the intention of the director - if it's just to show life naturally even a film with explicit sex could be non-pornographic, not that I'd say an age limit shouldn't be applied. e.g. to take books, I'd class The Unbearable Lightness of Being or Lady Chatterly's Lover as non porn, even if they're more explicit than a Mills and Boon novel (ok, they're probably not - never got round to reading one!)

Reminds me of the scene with the "mammaries" in The Aviator. There's no clear distinction, but I don't think Playboy Casino falls into a grey area.
