It is neither prurient nor erotic, since the reproductive organs are not mentioned. "Surreal" would be a more accurate label.In addition:

According to our tradition (and Rashi commentary), the Song of Songs, unlike all other Hebrew Bible books, has no simple meaning and is to be explained, read and understood ONLY as an allegory (it hints to the love between God and His people, in the poetic form of a loving young couple). All other Tanakh books have their plain translation, which is valuable in itself, plus deeper meanings and allegory. The Song of Songs is the only exception.See also the Related Link.
