erotica

erotica
erotica
meaning ‘erotic literature and art’ is a plural noun, and any verb it governs should be plural (Erotica are much in evidence in the world of videos), although it is often treated as a singular mass noun:

• None of Minton's erotic drawings have resurfaced, even today when erotica has become much sought after —F. Spalding, 1991.

In many uses number is not explicit:

• That part of Rasputin which saved so many female souls went on display in 2004, in St Petersburg's first museum of erotica —Independent, 2007.
