Well, it's not all about sex, but the fact that the sexual situations are written about graphically makes it hard to distinguish between written erotica and porn. Granted, there's no stoop to vulgar language like a AIM chat transcript but I didn't pick up any hints of subtle seduction either.
However, you mentioned that they are drabbles aka scenes, which changes things a little. After all that, in my mind at least, I'd also classify them as PWPs and not really erotica or adult romance. Porn? Probably not. But you're edging there.
So after thinking things out, I guess my general analysis would be that it's not porn but it's not well-written adult fiction either. I'd suggest giving up on the drabbles, incorporating the segments for a smoother story, and making the sexual scenes work better with the overall story/characters.
