- Fetish Retardant: "Where Life Begins", which is supposed to be an ode to cunnilingus, has lyrics that make it sound more like an advert for KFC, complete with the "finger-licking good" tagline.
- Vindicated by History: Erotica was a near-Creator Killer at the time, Madonna's Hotter and Sexier image (especially with her related project, the coffee table book Sex) being just too much for audiences in the early '90s to take. A string of public controversies in the ensuing years only battered her image further, such that she had to go Lighter and Softer on her follow-up, 1994's Bedtime Stories, in order to save her career. Nowadays, however, the very things that sank Erotica in the '90s have come to be seen as its best qualities, with many critics now hailing it as, if not her best album, then certainly her most influential in how it broke down taboos around female sexuality, influencing a generation of female pop musicians in the '90s and '00s.
