Something that is sexually arousing, sensuous.
The main difference between erotica and pornography seems to be that erotica is closer to fine art and of a romantic nature while pornography is seen as crass and degrading.

The Song of Songs is among the most erotic passages in the Bible (or in any literature).
Romantic literature is often erotic:
"...their lips rosy and swollen in delight... Tatiana's honey-colored skin was flushed pink as she collapsed against the luxuriously full pillows on the bed, her obsidian hair spilling in all directions, the hillocks of her bosom peaked with excitement. Felipe's sinewy, barrel chested form and his smouldering coffee eyes gazed upon her eagerly as his strong, cinnamon hands gently caressed her silken thighs, like two gazelles, and the fullness of her hips. His breath caught in his throat as he beheld the blossom of her loins in its nest of curls, the petals dripping with the nectar of her desire, her pearl awaiting his kiss. Felipe's bull shoulders trembled, the head of his soldier rose and peered through its hood..."

A form of erotica (sensual romantic situations) that occurs between people of the same sex, especially in the case of a same-sex couple. Homoerotica can be used to refer to lesbian or gay male erotica, but it usually refers to gay male erotic situations.
Homoerotica:
Jonathan's breath was taken away as he looked at David's naked body. The rosiness of his fair skin, the taut, pink buds that adorned his bosom, his supple haunches trembling sensually, and the softness of his sex between his thighs, Jonathan gasped with desire and love as he embraced his beloved. David almost sobbed with joy as he rested his face against Jonathan's shoulder, savoring the soft thicket of hair on his lover's breast.

A higher-class prostitute. Usually from a middle-class background, usually more educated and has much more control over her situtation than the streetwalker.
She is so-named because she arranges her appointments over the telephone.
Call girls are generally the most attractive of the prostitutes (and the most expensive).

I'd call Britney Spears a call girl, but she's dressed more like a streetwalker and seems to be of lower-class extraction and less-than-average intellect.

A 3rd/4th-class prostitute. Usually works on his/her own, without a pimp or brothel, thus allowing some form of freedom.
Still, since prostitution is illegal in many countries, streetwalkers often get into trouble with the law. Streetwalkers become easy prey for rapists, murderers, and other criminals (even corrupt police officers) since they try to keep their liaisons discreet and, being criminals themselves, are not looked out for by police.

Despite romantic interpretations like the film "Pretty Woman," the average streetwalker is quite run-down and unattractive, from being at the bottom of the social ladder.
