Erotic
|
|
Erotic Pertaining to sexual love or, more particularly, to its imagistic expression in daydream, fantasy, or dream, either autonomously or in response to a perceptual stimulus, and either alone or with one or more partners.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Sexual
Pertaining to sex or, more particularly, the stimulation, responsiveness, and functions of the sex organs either alone or with one or more partners.
Love
The personal experience and manifest expression of being attached or bonded to another person. There is sacred and profane love, and affectional and erotic love. The word is also used in the vernacular as a synonym for like.
Fantasy
In imagination, a series of mental representations connected by a story line or dramatic plot that may possibly be translated into actuality. Imagery in the mind that is fictive rather than perceptual, and that tells a story in either pictures or words. A fantasy, like a dream, may be a program of expectations for the future, or a replay of past happenings, or a combination of both.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Erotic apathy
A hypophilic condition or syndrome, variable in etiology, of defective ability to experience sexuoerotic arousal under normally conducive circumstances; misnamed lack of sexual desire.
Erotic inertia
A hypophilic condition or syndrome, variable in etiology, of inability to manifest sexuoerotic initiative or to maintain sexuoerotic activity under normally conducive circumstances.
Erotic revulsion
A hypophilic condition or syndrome of variable etiology in which sexuoerotic activity, either in general or with a particular partner, is experienced as aversive and repulsive.
Erotic self-strangulation
The rare condition in which a person, usually an adolescent male, is dependent on partial asphyxiation, as by hanging, or by restaging of it in fantasy, in order to obtain erotic arousal and facilitate or achieve orgasm. Death may inadvertently result. Some victims have been found cross-dressed.
Erotic/sexual
Simultaneously erotic and sexual. One can be sexual without being erotic, as in donor insemination. Conversely, being erotic does not necessarily mean being sexual, especially in the sense of copulation, fertility or reproduction.
Erotica
Depictions of ideas and images in the literary and visual arts that have sexual and erotic appeal and, for at least a selected audience, sexual arousal value, without being condemned as pornographic. More specifically, erotica is congruent with the idealized content of one's idiosyncratic lovemap and is therefore effective in eroticising, arousing, and facilitating orgasm in that individual.
Eroticism
The personal experience and manifest expression of one's genital arousal and functioning as male or female, either alone or with a partner, and particularly with reference to the ideation, imagery, and sensory stimuli of arousal.
Erotography
Graphic or written material of an erotic nature, not stigmatized as pornography.
Erotomania
Morbid exaggeration of, or preoccupation with sexuoerotic imagery and activity.
Erotophonophilia
A paraphilia of the sacrificial/expiatory type in which sexuoerotic arousal and facilitation or attainment of orgasm are responsive to, and contingent on stage-managing and carrying out the murder of an unsuspecting sexual partner. The erotophonophile's orgasm coincides with the expiration of the partner. The reciprocal paraphilic condition is autassassinophilia.
Erotosexual
The erotic and the sexual experienced as a unity, with more emphasis on erotic imagery and ideation than sexual behavior. It is possible to be erotic without being sexual in the sense of copulation, fertility, or reproduction. Conversely, it is possible, as in donor insemination, to be sexual without being erotic. see erotic/sexual. the erotic and the sexual experienced as a unity, with more emphasis on erotic imagery than sexual behavior.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Ephebophilia
A paraphilia of the eligibilic/stigmatic type distinct from nepiophilia and pedophilia in that the age of the partner is postpubertal and adolescent. The technical term for the reciprocal paraphilic condition in which an older person impersonates an adolescent is paraphilic adolescentilism. Synonym, hebephilia, the condtition in which an adult is responsive to and dependent on the actuality or imagery of erotic/sexual activity with an adolescent boy or girl in order to obtain erotic arousal and facilitate or achieve orgasm. An ephebophiliac may be of either sex. Ephebophilic activity may be replayed in fantasy during masturbation or copulation with an older partner.
