only to the ratio the world of ideas. Eros is the drive to achieve the knowledge of ideas that can only be found in the world that is open to the ratio related to
aesthetic; it covers the body, soul, morals, knowledge, and aesthetic itself. From the word ‘eros’, erotic appeared in the broadest sense means any form of
expression of love between men and women, between the same sex homoerotic, and the love of self auto-erotic. In a narrow sense, erotic does not just mean
more carnal sexuality, but also includes mental aspects of sexuality and the development of stimuli generated by sexuality. It can be expressed in various
forms, such as in the arts, fashion, advertising, and others.

The explanation giving conclusion that a literary work which represents sexuality first of all need to present sex and sexual element in it to be categorized
as erotica.
32
Eroticism and pornography is far from similar, eroticism in literature should not give the impression of obscene or pornographic. According to David
Steinberg as cited by Sitanggang there are three groups in erotic literature. The first is a literary work that shows the relationship of men and women with an
emphasis on spiritual and intellectual aspects. The second is the work that featuring intimate physical relationship expressed covertly. The third is a work
that presents sexuality in a more interesting, but not the core of the story. The third category called a porn literary work because of sexuality depicted detailed
and aims to stimulate and arouse sexual desire. Sitanggang also explains that the

eroticism element can consider as containing literary value if the sexual description can aesthetically hidden.

Sitanggang also utter that to be categorized as erotica, a literary work lyric in this matter which contain sexuality shown
meet three aspect; aesthetic, thematic, and moral from the works itself. Accordingly all kind of lyric represent sexuality without obscene impression can
