Does Kama mean love in Sanskrit and is that appropriate to use when saying you love something or someone or erotic love?

Hi, xalexisonfirex1

According to what I found on the following site, Kama - definition of Kama by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia. (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Kama) Kama would appear to mean love in Sanskrit. It's also the name of the Hindu God of Love.
