Eroticism was a quality that caused sexual thoughts and feelings, such as sexual desire or arousal, anticipation, sensuality, and romance.
In 2370, Doctor Beverly Crusher fell asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter of a journal which belonged to her deceased grandmother Felisa Howard. Crusher attributed the very detailed descriptions of her grandmother's experiences with Ronin to be the cause of what she thought to be a dream. Crusher had felt a presence with her in bed, and felt a pair of hands touch her and move across her skin like a caress. There was also the voice of a man who whispered Crusher's name as if he knew her, and he knew exactly how she liked to be touched. Crusher described it as the most physical dream she ever had, as the sensations were very real and extremely arousing. Counselor Deanna Troi was envious. (TNG: "Sub Rosa")
