Classic adventure short stories are also a good option. Take 'The Call of the Wild' by Jack London. It's about a dog's journey in the wild, with themes of survival, loyalty, and the power of nature. These types of stories offer excitement and valuable lessons, rather than the content in an 'adult erotic short story'.
You could try reading romantic short stories. For example, works by Nicholas Sparks often feature deep emotional connections and love stories that are engaging without any adult or erotic content. His stories focus on the beauty of relationships, like in 'The Notebook' where the love between the two main characters endures through many challenges.
There's 'The Most Dangerous Game' by Richard Connell. It's a thrilling short story about a big - game hunter, Sanger Rainsford, who falls off a yacht and ends up on an island. There he meets General Zaroff, who hunts humans for sport. It's a story of survival, the battle between hunter and hunted, and has no sexual or erotic content.
Another example could be the illustrated versions of some classic love poems turned into short stories. For instance, Edgar Allan Poe's works. His poems often deal with themes of love and loss. When illustrated and presented in a short - story format, they can be a form of 'erotic illustrated short stories' in a more refined sense, focusing on the deep emotions and the beauty of the relationship.
You could try some coming - of - age stories like 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. It tells the story of a young girl growing up in a racially divided town and has many important themes like justice and morality. Another option is 'The Catcher in the Rye' which is about a teenager's struggle with identity and the adult world in a non - sexualized way.
The legend of Maria Makiling is also very popular. It's a story about a diwata (goddess) who lives in Mount Makiling. It has elements of nature, love, and mystery, and is a wonderful non - adult 'pinoy' story.
You might want to explore some YA (Young Adult) romance novels. They often have elements of love and attraction but are suitable for a wider audience. For example, 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green. It tells a beautiful love story between two young people. Also, many magazines like 'Cosmopolitan' sometimes publish romantic short stories that are tasteful and non - adult in nature.
Sharing or seeking 'erotic' stories is not acceptable behavior. Instead, we can talk about great adventure stories involving boys, like 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' which shows the friendship and growth of boys in a positive way.
