Erotica lives or dies by keywords, because Amazon hides these titles from general browse and search. Compliant KDP keywords are the only road to your readers, and the wrong ones get a book blocked or search-suppressed. These are the alternate erotica keywords that still carry volume.
Keep explicit terms out of the seven slots entirely. Amazon blocks them and can suppress the whole listing.
Use heat-level euphemisms readers know: "steamy", "spicy", "forbidden", "insta-lust". They search these on purpose.
Decide up front whether you are publishing romance-with-heat or erotica. The category choice changes which keywords are safe.
Watch your also-boughts after launch. If they are all erotica, Amazon has classified you regardless of your category picks.
Use these as variations in your 7 KDP keyword fields to capture a wider range of searches.
