"I write stories for adults only."

or

"I write erotica."

It all works.

There's enough out there that is NC-17 or even a hard R, or the book/TV/comic equivalent, that people get it if you say your work isn't appropriate for kids.

Also, if you don't even know if your work is smut or erotica or porn, which are all different things! You're going to have a hard time explaining it to others.

Own what you do.

That means you tell the truth (unless it's your conservative nephew or boss, then you can fudge it). If you write erotica, call it erotica. Don't call it ordinary and don't call it porn. (If you do write porn, own it. And don't call it erotica.)
