  她穿着新高跟鞋和一条合身的黑色连衣裙，看起来很性感。

• erotic

  A more formal, literary word focused on content that arouses sexual desire, such as art, films or writing, rather than directly praising a person's appearance.

  这个词更正式、更书面，侧重于能激起性欲的内容本身，比如艺术、电影或文学作品，而不是直接夸一个人的外貌。

  The magazine published an erotic short story that shocked some readers.

  这本杂志刊登了一篇性爱色彩浓厚的短篇小说，让一些读者感到震惊。

  Describes a woman's body as full-figured and curvy in a sexually appealing way; it focuses on physical shape, not on clothing, behavior or artistic content.

  这个词形容女性体态丰满、曲线优美、富有性感魅力，侧重身材本身，而不是衣着、举止或艺术内容。

Sexy, erotic, and voluptuous can mean sexually attractive, but differ. Sexy is casual and general, for people or behavior; it can also mean "exciting," not compared here. Erotic is formal, for content that arouses desire, like art. Voluptuous describes a curvy, full-figured woman's body.

这三个词都可以表示“有性吸引力”，但语气和用法不同：sexy 最口语化、适用范围最广；erotic 更正式，侧重内容本身能激起性欲，常用于艺术、文学或场景描写；voluptuous 专指女性体态丰满、曲线性感。这里不比较 sexy 表示“令人兴奋、有吸引力”（与性无关）的引申义，例如 a sexy new gadget。
