The noun is where they part. German Erotik covers the whole field, from the atmosphere of a film to the shelf in a bookshop; English erotica means the books and almost nothing else. So die Erotik des Films has no comfortable English translation.
Erotik eroticism
Wider than English erotica: the atmosphere and the field, not only the books.
sexy sexy
Borrowed unchanged, and the word for a person. Erotisch about a person sounds clinical in German too.
sinnlich sensual
About the senses generally, and usable about a person without the distance erotisch keeps.
