Erotica..substitute R(upee) for X (ten)
Exotica, X going for R suggests X. Plus the definition, which you are looking for should be at one end of the clue, not in the middle as porn is.
Well there we go ! Difference of opinion. I think good practice suggests the definition should not be in the middle of the clue.

hi, thanks for the replies, My best guess is EXOTICA . Kind regards, John.
On balance, I think you are likely right CSIambleside!
I was getting ready to rip open my envelope there to change my answer if people disagreed ! Luckily I hadn't put the stamp on yet !
I am with CSIambleside on this one...
Could be porn - EROTICA replace R with X = Exotica..
foreign items.
Ditto , Exotica for me .
(partial clue)DEFINITION(partial clue) would be very poor clueing.
Actually, I'm opting for erotica because of the phrase ten going for rupee - as in x disappearing from the word in favour of r........
