I have heard two explanations from one of your godbrothers. One is that the

erotic statues are there to please or even mislead Indra so he won't get

envious of the pujaris in the temple performing penances and austerities.

When he sees the erotic carvings on the temple the lord of heaven thinks,

oh, I have nothing to fear from these guys.

 

The other explanation is that the temple of Lord Vishnu is supposed to be

the hub of the universe, and therefore must depict everything relevant in

creation; hence the references to the most important aspect of material

creation, namely sex-life.
