I care to change spicy stuff (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erotica

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'spicy stuff' is the definition.
'erotica' can be an answer for 'stuff' (I have seen 'sexy stuff' mean 'erotica' so perhaps 'stuff' could also mean 'erotica'). I am not certain of the 'spicy' bit.

'i care to change' is the wordplay.
'change' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'care'+'to'='icareto'
'icareto' is an anagram of 'EROTICA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for erotica that I've seen before include "Material of a sexual nature" , "writings about sex" , "Writing of a sexual nature" , "Amatory literature" , "Blue stuff" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
