The word Erotica stems from the Greek word for "love" Eros and generally when we talk about it we are referring to literature, photography, film, sculpture or painting that deals with stimulating or arousing descriptions. Generally this term is used in a modern context to describe the portrayal of human sensuality and sexuality in an "artistic" way, differentiating it from commercial pornography but often its difficult to draw a line between the two and subjective opinions will vary greatly, as to which is which.

While pornography popularly focuses on unadorned and unemotional lusts and the explicit depiction of sexual acts, which tends to define material with a higher emotional content, the development of place, character and story line, or of an overall artistic theme. However, such distinctions are necessarily subjective and may say more about the critic's own tastes on erotic material than the artistic and other attributes of the material itself. In the motion picture sense, softcore pornography or soft porn is a similar kind of commercial art form that resides in the area between this and hardcore, although erotica, as a type of fine art, may also be highly sexually explicitly. The division between this and pornography is an aesthetic division, usually dependent on moral philosophy, religious dogma, or personal outlook. At present, many legal jurisdictions maintain laws regulating the availability of expressions deemed pornographic (although that term almost never appears in legal texts), arguably to maintain a level of comfort or safety for a majority of citizens.

It is a notable trait of the strength of the human reproductive drive relative to the psyche as a whole, that unambiguous reference to sexuality, framed in a manner which the perceiver thereof finds acceptable, tends to initiate an involuntary reaction of sexual arousal, possibly building increased sexual desire, which may lead to creating or taking advantage of opportunity to engage in sexual. This can be true of erotica just as well as other, both more and less refined references to sex. Depictions of the human body which merely fail to conceal or disguise the secondary sexual characteristics of its particular gender may be all that is necessary to trigger arousal in a person who is attracted to that gender. For this reason, the term is too broadly described merely in terms of the effect that it engenders in its audience, as all sexually related matter has the potential to create such an effect. Gloria Leonard (an erotic actress who later became a magazine publisher) is famously quoted as saying "The difference between pornography and erotica is lighting."
