lgbg: There are different levels of ervah. The best definition of the higher level(more chamur)ervah is anyone appearing on that list found in Parshas Acharei Mos which the Torah specifically calls an ervah. We read this section at mincha on Yom Kippur. Chazal added other arayos, called shniyos. There are other categories and this is a very simplistic definition, but it’s ok to start with.
