Eroscurious is a blanket term for asexual individuals curious about experimenting or experiencing sex despite not feeling sexual attraction. Often, this is done from an attitude of wondering whether or not they like sex and have an orientation beyond asexual. This term applies to those exploring/questioning whether they are greysexual.
This term is primarily for asexual individuals who want to experiment or see whether they like sex or can have sexual attraction, and it is unrelated to gender-based attraction in orientation. If one were to be curious or go beyond eroscurious and wonder if they have feelings for a specific gender, they might be androcurious, gynecurious, or bicurious, depending on the individual. One can question whether they are b+ as well and may use an identity such as omnicurious, abrocurious, or pancurious.

Etymology
The prefix comes from Eros, the Greek god of love and sex. The "-curious" suffix comes from any experimental feelings or openness to have experiences outside of one's usual sexual orientation.
