[Esther Ruth]

I remember doing a (Bible) word study on all the different words for "love" in the Bible once. There is agape and phila love and others I think, all with different meanings. I think our word "erotica" comes from the Hebrew word "eros" or something like that and it is used in the OT and NT and if I remember right the word contains the ideas that it is definitely evil and tied to demonic influence -- speaking of psychoanalysis.

"erotica" comes from the Hebrew word "eros"

Eros is Greek.

[Agnes Heep]

Eros, if I'm not mistaken, was the Greek god of Love; otherwise known as Cupid--in the original he was no doubt a far cry from the little winged sprite we associate with Cupid today.

Much of what they're speaking about in the article reminds me of latent homosexuality--that internal war fought upon the battlefield of the male psyche between erotic homosexuality and ingrained morality. It's an unseen strife that tends to produce some very nasty personality traits.
