Another thing I often do is include what is or could be an "unhappy ending". And I actually do this for "balance".
Most times I tend towards long, romance type stories. And on more than once occasion, I have found myself starting to get a "sugar overload" from all the sweetness. And generally when that starts to happen, I write one or two darker stories. Nothing really like snuff, torture or anything like that. But it may have the end of a relationship, or something else tragic. I find writing something like that helps me get it out of my system, so I can return to the light and fluffy style again.
I have a huge imagination and love writing about wild and crazy subjects. Some stories have bits and pieces of true things in my life or things that have happened to friends.
I like to take my characters in all kinds of directions. I never plan out my stories and just write them on the cuff. I giggle and crack up while I write them.
Hugs,

I wrote a story about relationship and sex with someone who was suffering from learning disability (down syndrome). I wrote it as some kind of protest against mistreating such people. My story is called "Helping Johnny".
I think that's uncommon. Even if you find something about sexual relationships of such people on adult sites, it's mostly about some kind of abuse.
If you are interested, My story is called "Helping Johnny".
I get bored using "cock" and "pussy" all the time. So I wrote a few Victorian Era stories and googled "1800s sex slang" and happily found new words like "cunny", "qwim", "pisser", and my fav "twiddle-diddles" to use.
Semen in male characters mouths and on their faces. Even in gay porn it seems to end up on chests more often than the face.
I try to play inverting stereotypes a bit - e.g. in my first cross-dressing story I had a heterosexual couple swap clothes, rather than just the guy putting on a skirt.
I've started having transgender characters, but I try to avoid stereotypes - my Rainbows competition story had a gay transman, there are only about 8 other stories with the ftm or transman tags on here last time I checked...
I have also started putting more thought into naming my characters - before I just chose random names of people I knew and put them on random characters, but the above character I named after a real transmale colonel in Emiliano Zapata's army during the Mexican Revolution, and all the characters in my current series have significant names - the meaning, or the same as figures in the black metal scene, or historic anti-fascist partisans, etc. I especially made sure my characters from non-English backgrounds have real names reasonably popular in those cultures for realism.
I also throw in random references to heavy metal, either explicitly in dialogue or hiding song titles in descriptions, mostly for my own amusement.
Oh, and the second part of my current series has some bodily fluids I've never read in an erotic story before - and I hope I never will, unless it is also used for the horror effect! I'm not saying what they are so as to not spoil the shock value, but even Grusha, he of the copious snot and cum farting in his stories, said he found it disgusting and depraved (he did also say he was enraptured, in case the other adjectives are not what you're after in a story).
One other thing, that I have written into a few different stories.
Accidental .
Now I myself readily admit I find nothing sexy about , and it has never had any kind of interest for me.
But in 2 different stories, because I enjoy "twist endings" I have had what I call "Accidental ". Either where the individuals at the time are not even aware that they are related. Or in another where disguises are involved they do not know who they are actually having sex with. In the latter, I threw in a twist where the male became aware when he saw the female in a different costume the next day, realizing to his horror who he had actually been with the night before.
In these, I consider it a very different sub-genre, because there is no real attraction sexually between the individuals because they are related. Son not chasing after mom, or sister after brother. Just 2 people who have sex, not even being aware until afterwards that they had committed (and only 1 of the 2 may even know that).
