Greek ἔρως,
eros—"desire") is a
quality that causes
sexual feelings, as well as a philosophical contemplation concerning the
aesthetics of sexual desire,
sensuality and
romantic love. That quality may be found in any form of artwork, including
painting,
sculpture,
photography,

film,
music or
literature. It may also be found in
advertising. The term may also refer to a state of
sexual arousal or anticipation of such – an insistent sexual
impulse,
desire, or pattern of thoughts.
