Yes, that, except the term "eroticized spiritual longing" is three words -- a little too long to catch on. Foucault called the same dimension of life "political spirituality" -- that's two words, and still too long.
How about re-framing the word 'anime' to countervail erotic 'anomie'.
(...a sense of erotic purposelessness, which is surely one of the psychological underpinnings of the lack of humor in the "organizational" left in the west.
