I think all my tales, serious or strokers or otherwise, are about transitions, but not everybody changes. Main or minor characters might be immobile, with change swirling about them: index markers against whom change can be seen and judged.This says it really well. This is what interests me, too, in stories. Erotica, to me, is a matter of exploration and transition, with a character that moves to a place of greater awareness of something about her (or his) sexuality/eroticism at the end of the story.
That's the Odysseus trope where the MC ends glorious adventures to return home to their solid refuge, their steadfast partner. Or a randy rambler who eventually finds that only their faithful sibling really loves them (because LIT). None need be cartoon characters, but some change more than others.
For fun and drama, the partner who seems steadfast has transformed the most. Abashed randy rambler returns to the faithful partner who learned many new tricks and logics during their absence.
My characters, all genders, usually think they know what they want. They might be wrong. But everything leads somehow to sex because LIT. All do or don't eventually want to fuck. The adventure is how they get there.
