Erotic love

The Greeks defined love in 9 ways: 

Philia (affectionate love between friends), Pragma (practical love), Eros (romantic, passionate love), Agape (selfless or universal love), Storge (familiar love between family members), Mania (obsessive love), Ludus (playful love), Pragma (enduring or mature love), Philautia (self love)


Eros (romantic, passionate love) is passion, lust and pleasure.


“The ancient Greeks considered Eros to be dangerous and frightening as it involves a “loss of control” through the primal impulse to procreate. Eros is an intense form of love that arouses romantic and sexual feelings.”


“Erotica is any literary or artistic work that deals substantively with subject matter that is erotically stimulating or sexually arousing but is not generally considered to be pornographic. “
