Erotic frolicking with European friends with specific interests in common (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coterie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'friends with specific interests in common' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'erotic frolicking with european' is the wordplay.
'frolicking with' indicates an anagram.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'erotic' mixed up with 'e' can make 'COTERIE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coterie that I've seen before include "In-group" , "Small exclusive group of friends" , "Exclusive group with shared interests" , "Small exclusive group of people" , "Group, band" .)
