I believe the answer is:

strip

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

'erotic' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strip that I've seen before include "Take off one's clothes" , "runway" , "footballers' outfit" , "Plunder" , "Divest - team's garb" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
