Astrakan and Nikonian have basically covered it.

But a "flop" is exactly what you described.

A hot looking actor being nude doesn't make the movie "porn". It might make it something people would want to see, but definitely not "porn". In fact, you even concede it's not porn so why not call it a "flop", which matches your description?
