Exact opposite for me.
I write erotica like it's a job or university assignment. I need a clear head and I think a lot.
I write my best when awake and calm. A boner only gets in the way of coherent sentences and concise explanations. Sure, fantasizing and "choreographing" a sex scene while horny might cause positive association, but actually putting the words in order is pretty difficult, at least for me.
It's difficult either way. If I'm not turned on, I approach it all too clinically and the sex scene isn't fun. If I get turned on *while* writing, then it's difficult to stay focused.
Does anyone else find that they only write well when they're horny? I've been busy lately and not feeling my best. Led to a rather long dry spell for writing, sadly.
There might be a difference in whether you are composing in first or third voice. I compose mainly in first and am in the action when I'm writing it.
I think it also depends on what you write about. Fetishes are silly if you don't feel horny. I believe that this explains my process, as I mainly publish in the Fetish category.
I have a somewhat similar experience. Maybe this is because, in your fantasy, there's always a bit of surprise, mystery where the story goes to, while, once you've written it down, all details are fixed? Is it harder to tweak the fantasy to the particular feelings of the moment?
Although they may no longer work as fantasies for me, I do enjoy re-reading those stories.
