The opposite of erotic is "unerotic".
Pure and simple (and also slightly boring, which is as it should be).

PS - Or maybe "Blair", thinking on it ...
not really klf-related but i thought the comparison was interesting...i provided the first paragraph for context... the original article is available at the always excellent midnight eye:

This once-in-a-lifetime screening of two of Masunori Oe's works provided my second epiphany of the festival, after Makino Village. The first work, the 10-minute long Head Game depicted one of the massive LSD-fuelled 'Be Ins' that took place all over America as part of the growing protest movement over the Vietnam War. Full of vibrant colours and disembodied sounds, Head Game was heavily redolent of the spirit of the times, as it showed the passive protestors, their faces painted, chasing balloons and handing out flowers to bewildered passers-by in Washington park.
But this was nothing compared to Great Society, which Oe directed with Marvin Fishman. Screened using 6 projectors running simultaneously to create a dazzling multi-screen (two rows by three columns) extravaganza, the 17-minute visual experimentation of Great Society predates Mike Figgis's Timecode by over 30 years. Each screen was occupied by newsreel footage from the 60s, including such monumental moments as Kennedy's assassination, the moon landing, footage of US casualties from the Vietnam war, interpolated with scenes of the Haight Ashbury hippy movement and still shots such as that of a Vietnamese woman clutching the dead body of her baby. As the hypnotic images bubbled up like sequences from a long-repressed dream, it reminded me of a sort of visual equivalent to The KLF's Chill Out album. At the end of the performance, Oe outlined the philosophy behind the multi-windowed project, that "everyone was trying to create their own world in the 60s, just like this". The whole
performance climaxed in a series of nuclear explosions that dissolved into Stan Brakhage-like abstraction.
