I mean, do you literally go XXX with the wording and description?

Bonny, read more than just the submission guidelines. Read what they're publishing. This will give you an idea of how graphic is graphic, how much detail they seek in the sexual scenes, and how much realism matters.
Some erotica involves impossible people doing astonishing things, while some involves ordinary Joes and Janes doing stuff you and I do. You need to know which an editor buys.

Read their submission guidelines. They will tell you exactly what they want. If possible, read one or two of the things they have already published to give you an idea of what they want.

Yep. Erotic is graphic. Some of it is written porn, in my opinion. All five senses (yes, including taste). You can even use normally taboo words (c*ck, c*nt, f*ck, etc.). In modern erotica, sex scenes are described in detail, last for pages and pages, and are completely unrealistic (have you ever tried some of those positions? and really, who talks that much during hot monkey sex?).

Yes, go graphic if that's what she asked. If she didn't want to know every detail she would probably just ask for added suggestion.
