I think erotic transference can be viewed two ways.
1) The transference is a projection onto the Therapist from past relationships and
2) Disclosing an erotic transference is a test for your T. If he handles the disclosure professionally he/she reinforces that they are ethical. Or if he allows himself to disclose his feelings for the client it is a reinforcement that he is not trust worthy.
That is how I see it.
