 Fragonard's The Swing is rather tame for modern standards, but in the 18th century depicting a lady with a man able to look up her skirts was considered highly erotic.

Definition -
Defining erotic art is difficult since perceptions of both what is erotic and what is art fluctuate. A sculpture of a phallus in some African cultures may be considered a traditional symbol of potency though not overtly erotic. Erotic literature is a literary genre that either takes the form of erotica written to arouse the reader, or to give instruction in sexual technique. ...

In addition, a distinction is often made between erotic art and pornography (which also depicts scenes of love-making and is intended to evoke erotic arousal, but is not usually considered art). The distinction may lie in intent and message; erotic art intended as pieces of art, encapturing formal elements of art, and drawing on other historical artworks. Pornography may also use these tools, but is primarily intended to arouse one sexually. Nevertheless, these elements of distinction are highly subjective. Porn redirects here. ...

EL EROTISMO EN LA PREHISTORIA EROTIC ART - PREHISTORY

Venus - Venuses http://www.arterupestre-c.com/1000ven.htm
There is o ne sculpture that is emblematic, found in 1908, after lots of research and different epochs being affirmed as the real o nes about this sculpture, now they believe it was done around 24,000-22,000 BC.
It shows a woman with a large stomach that overhangs but does not hide her pubic area. A roll of fat extends around her middle, joining with large but rather flat buttocks, there's no face and seems that at this place there is a hat or even hair rolled up o n the head.
Her genital area would appear to have been deliberately emphasized with the labia of the vulva carefully detailed and made clearly visible, perhaps unnaturally so, and as if she had no pubic hair. This, combined with her large breasts and the roundness of her stomach, suggests that the "subject" of the sculpture is female procreativity and nurture and the piece has long been identified as some sort of fertility idol.
The fact that numerous examples like that of a female figure. All generally exhibiting the same essential characteristics - large stomachs and breasts, featureless faces, minuscule or missing feet - have been found over a broad geographical area ranging from France to Siberia. That suggests that some system of shared understanding and perception of a particular type of woman existed during the Paleolithic.

EL ARTE EN LA PREHISTORIA EROTISMO PREHISTÓRICO
Desde la más victoriana a la mente más liberal, no pueden dejar de ruborizarse ante las impactantes y sorprendentes imágenes de rituales (eroticosexuales) que nuestros antepasados plasmaron en las cuevas, abrigos y arte mobiliario. La procreación, se convierte, para el hombre prehistórico, en una liturgia llena de "erotismo-mágico" . La mujer se transforma en Madre naturaleza, en un ser con poderes de creación. Los rituales también conllevan a la fertilidad de los animales, porque de ellos depende la supervivencia de la tribu o grupo. El "Chamán", eje principal de la comunidad, se convierte en el cordón umbilical entre el mundo desconocido y la realidad, que, a través del ritual y el erotismo, llega a su máxima significacion simbólica.
"El erotismo es el punto culminante de la abstracción en el cuerpo físico del ser humano". Verdejo

VENUSES ( WOMAN) PREHISTORY
Most prehistoric Venuses (Woman) are portable art (sculptures). Their three-dimensional shape show that they probably were worship images, which became a "real being-object" that can be worshiped "in situ" and transported from one place to another. Venus is a magical being by nature, the main creator of transmission and perpetuity of life, the principal axis, life lies inside her and perpetuity of the group depends on her. Plus, they were also considered to have powers related to animals' and the Earth's fertility. All the figures our ancestors made show an amazing eroticism and feminity…

PREHISTORIC EROTICISM
No one , from the most conservative to the most liberal, can help blushing at the sight of the most surprising and impressing images of (erotico-sexual) rituals that our ancestors captured on the walls of their caves, shelters and furnishing art. For prehistoric men, procreation becomes a liturgy full of "magic eroticism". Women are considered as Mother Nature, a kind of being with the power to create. Rituals usually refer to animals' fertility too, since the survival of the tribe or group depends on them. The Shaman, main axis of the community, becomes the umbilical cord between the unknown world and reality, which, through rituals and eroticism reaches its highest symbolic significance.

Modern Today, erotic artists thrive, although, in some circles, much of the genre is still not as accepted as the more standard genres of art such as portraiture and landscape. During the last few centuries, society has broadened its view of what can be considered as art and several new styles developed during the 1800s such as Impressionism and Realism. This has given today's artists a broader, almost infinite, spectrum with which to work.

Delivering the opinion of the court, Chief Justice Warren Burger wrote, Warren Burger at a press conference in May 1969 shortly after he was nominated to be Chief Justice of the United States. ...
The basic guidelines for the trier of fact must be: (a) whether 'the average person, applying contemporary community standards' would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest, (b) whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law; and (c) whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.[2] As this is still, almost by necessity, much more vague than other judicial tests within U.S. jurisprudence, it has not reduced the conflicts that often result, especially from the ambiguities concerning what the "contemporary community standards" are. Similar difficulties in distinguishing between erotica and obscenity have been found in almost every legal system in the world.
