From what I've seen, this show looks like a hentai. Am I wrong in that assumption? If so, why have I seen it described as only "semi ecchi" ? For that matter, why does Aki Sora also fall into that same category? I skimmed through both OAV's and it looks like straight up porn to me.
Well it's not semi-ecchi that's for sure. They were probably thinking that a show is ecchi if they keep bringing up the ecchi throughout the episode. The non-edited version of Yosuga no Sora reminds me of the old adult ren'ai game anime from the mid-90s. They were basically fairly normal until they got to the ecchi scenes. As I'm sure you know, later the anime producers decided to take the ren'ai game stories that didn't concentrate on H-scenes and make them non-adult anime. So the games that concentrated on the ecchi they adapted into full blown adult anime while the games that didn't concentrate on H-content removed the H-scenes completely and turned the stories into TV series.

Yosuga no Sora anime is more like old time adult anime.

But a lot of anime fans separate ecchi and "hentai" as being the difference between showing genitals and not showing them. I don't think you can go strictly by that definition though because there are too many anime that push those boundaries. Koe de Oshigoto and Aki Sora didn't show genitals, but I consider them adult anime. I think there's just too much going on there in both anime for them not to be considered adult anime.

I think it works a lot better if people just consider the non-edited version of Yosuga no Sora to be tame adult anime. Then they can watch it with the right frame of mind to begin with.
