Like steamy stuff of which to hesitate to take a bit of notice? (6)

I believe the answer is:

erotic

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'like' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'steamy stuff of which to hesitate to take a bit of notice?' is the second definition.
'erotic' can be an answer for 'steamy' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the rest of the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for erotic that I've seen before include "Carnal" , "Dirty - blue" , "Intended to arouse" , "Relating to sexual pleasure" , "Calculated to arouse sexual feelings" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
