SRS...indeed, as with many words, 'erotic' has been watered down and used carelessly to mean anything to do with sex. The English language, after many centuries, is rich and expressive---but the trend is to find a convenient word and lump lots of vaguely related concepts under it, and perhaps convey meaning with tone of voice and expression when talking. ('gross' comes to mind)

erotic, naughty, dirty, smarmy, sexy, 'adult', lascivious, lustful etc., all should convey different ideas, but who bothers?...(besides you & me, that is..*grin*)

very few of the songs in "The Erotic Muse" shold be considered erotic...some are shocking, some are clever & cute and/or naughty....but I guess he had to call it something other than "Dirty Songs You Wouldn't Dare Let Your Mother Hear" in order to get it published!
