Erogenic

/ˌɛrəˈdʒɛnɪk/ adjective

Definition

Causing or tending to cause sexual arousal or desire; relating to or stimulating erotic feelings.

Etymology

From Greek 'erōs' (desire) plus 'genic' (producing). This is the more common form of 'erogenetic,' widely used in medical and psychological literature.

Kelly Says

What makes something erogenic varies wildly across cultures—in some societies, an ankle or a neck is scandalous, while in others, such body parts hardly register as arousing.
