An erotic thing or situation is one that involves or suggests sex and attraction. A romantic movie with explicit scenes could be an example of something erotic.

When people talk about something being erotic, they often mean it's attractive or exciting because of its sensual nature. This can include art, music, literature, or even advertising that showcases a romantic or intimate atmosphere. For instance, some perfume commercials might use beautiful, seductive images to make the product seem appealing and alluring. In this sense, "erotic" is not just about explicit content but also about creating a mood that's sensual and attractive. It's often used in discussions about art, media, or personal style where the focus is on how something makes people feel rather than what it explicitly shows.
