"Eros doesn't literally mean sex" goes back a LONG way Freud and Jung, who were both very much NOT "postmodern" and who are in fact pretty old school, used "eros" consistently just to mean "desire" or "energy" "Lust" in the sense of "lust for life", like Iggy Pop would say

CS Lewis said he thought of philia as "side-by-side love" and eros as "face-to-face" Philia is when you see someone else in your life as your teammate, as someone playing the same game as you Eros is when another person is the goalpost, or the ball

(Which is why he, as a good Christian, thought of eros as much more likely to be toxic and sinful, why men can desire women without even really liking or respecting them)

And thus was born screwed up beliefs about aesthetics (mainly that beautiful = good = ideal)
