I'd say it's erotic if:
1) the sex is a major part of the action (not necessarily the plot)
AND
2) the text is explicit enough that if it were a movie, minors couldn't see it.
So something which has a lot of sexual contact but the "camera" always cuts away before the deed starts wouldn't be erotic. Something which describes sex in gauzy or vague terms ("they melted into one another's arms and twined their limbs together until they fell through the clouds and rain into bliss") wouldn't be erotic either.
Something which reads like a transcript of an adult film with lots of _tab A into slot B_ is erotic.
