[Albion Wilde]

If you read the entire article, you see that the work "erotic" is NOT used to describe what most people would think is a turn-on; it is used specifically in the legal sense to denote sexual acts which are done for pleasure but cannot result in conception. Here are the passages from the article:

...although state law does not define the word “erotic,” Bolling argued that a Maryland law which prohibits classroom material that “portrays erotic techniques of sexual intercourse,” makes video demonstrations of the use of condoms in anal and oral sex illegal. Bolling argued that if a sexual act is not done for a procreative purpose, it is an erotic technique.

Thus, the six year battle boils down to two questions posed by Bolling in this latest court skirmish: Can the school board legally teach students that homosexuality is innate despite rulings to the contrary by the state’s highest court? And, can the health lessons discuss sex acts other than copulation?

I see - thanks for the additional information. Funny that the *law* doesn’t consider normal man-woman sexual activity to be “erotic”!
