Even if we exclude the inappropriate part, common themes could be courtly love. In medieval times, courtly love was a complex set of ideals and behaviors. It often involved knights pining for noble ladies from afar, with themes of loyalty, admiration, and a certain level of chaste love.
Another theme might be the exploration of religious and moral boundaries. In medieval society, the Church had a strong influence. Stories could explore how characters navigated the strict religious teachings while still having feelings for someone, in a more platonic or chaste way compared to the inappropriate 'erotic' aspects.
One common theme could be the power dynamics within the medieval social structure. For example, the relationship between lords and ladies, and how their interactions were influenced by class, wealth, and social status. This could be shown in a non - sexualized way, perhaps through tales of arranged marriages and the negotiations that went with them.
Another common theme could be the discovery of relationships. How the young person navigates friendships, family relationships, and new romantic interests as they grow. This is important as they learn about different types of connections and how to handle them.
One common theme could be the allure of the vampire. Their mysterious nature, with their immortality and otherworldly powers, can be an element of attraction. For example, in many vampire stories, humans are drawn to them despite the danger. Another theme might be the struggle between love and the vampire's dark nature. Even in non - erotic stories, there is often a conflict between the vampire's need for blood and their feelings for a human.
If we exclude the inappropriate aspects, prison stories might often deal with themes of redemption. A character in prison could be on a journey to redeem themselves, to make up for past wrongs.
If we were to consider non - explicit works that might have elements related to relationships within the black community, themes could include love, identity within relationships, and cultural influence on romantic or sexual relationships. For example, in some works, the influence of African heritage on how characters approach love and connection is explored.
If we exclude inappropriate content, common themes in mage stories could be power and its control. Mages often have great power, and they must learn to use it responsibly. For instance, in many stories, a young mage starts with little control over their magic and has to grow and learn.
Love and friendship are also prevalent themes. Pinay stories may tell of deep friendships that last a lifetime or of romantic love stories. These stories can show different aspects of how Pinays form and maintain relationships, whether it's the loyalty in friendship or the passion in love.
Another theme is acceptance. There are stories of crossdressers finding acceptance from their friends and family. For example, a crossdresser might initially be afraid to show their true self but then is met with love and support. This journey of being accepted can be very inspiring.
Well, it could potentially have themes of passion, which might be expressed in a more non - sexual way, like a deep emotional connection between characters.
Since we are excluding inappropriate content, we could perhaps consider themes of anticipation, psychological play in a more abstract sense. For example, the idea of building up and withholding something in a non - sexual context, like a mystery or a surprise.
Another theme could be the power dynamics in history. This can be seen in how different classes or genders interacted in historical times. It's like in many stories where the social hierarchy affects the relationships and the plot development.
