Re: Does anal sex qualify as a theme?
Indeed, married people can have great sex. Even married parents can have great sex. It just takes more planning.
As far as my themes, first, let me say that most of my writing has been over on chyoo.com, though I have submitted a story here recently.
My most common theme is the ménage à trois. Being personally involved in a triad, I guess this is normal. I like figuring out sexual geometries in threesome sex scenes. I like writing about the social interactions between three people in love.
I have written a good number of stories that have some bisexual female or lesbian element. Most FMF threesomes have some level of female-female interactions, both socially and sexually, so this is clearly a direct result of the first theme.

Yo, deev, what's shakin?
Great av. Lesbian is all very well, but what kind of issues drive the writing? Does the butch character you speak of initiate the other woman? Does she get her comeuppance from her?
I'll have to read you, now. Dammit, I'm busy writing!

I'm going to start developing some kind of complex if this keeps up.

Hm. I responded to this last night elsewhere but I came over here to read on and see what themes other people had. I guess in a lot of my stories the sex is secondary, and I really don't tend to write people who are involved so much as people who are just meeting. Maybe I've fallen into that trap of believing that married people don't have much to say to each other?
And I seem to write more outrageous fantasy-type things than just reality. I suppose that even in reading I'll choose a historical drama over something contemporary and I find myself saying about romantic dramas that they're, "Too much like life" Or in other words, "I'm sick of what's in front of me, give me something prettier, please?"
Incidently, I finished my long story which I guess has turned into a novella. I've sent them up so they're waiting to be approved. I'm giving serious consideration to scrapping the new one I started though. I'm just not sure I'm feeling it.

Themes, if I'm reading this correctly and themes are what I think they are.
I'd say weather is the most consistant theme in many stories that I've written. It's very useful stuff is weather. Pathetic fallacy. Very useful for digging into emotion.
Exploration is another. Trying novel techiques or going with urges to see what they're like. One of my favourite sayings: Never put off til tomorrow what you can do today, because if you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow.
Hand in hand with exploration is discovery or surprise.
I've always been fascinated by the fact that mature and even elderly women often have rewarding sex lives and I can't think of many of my stories that don't include a 'more than mature' female character with a 'lot less than youthful' appearance, who are, nevertheless, attractive to someone

As I went thru the thread to this point I tried to figure out my themes, but I don't think I have been writing again long enough to really grasp anything.
The jazzed up autobiographical piece does not seem to qualify for me as it is based on memory more than fiction. Not to say it does not have a few fictious embellishments, just that it is not a total piece of fiction in my mind.
As to my fictional characters, the only theme I am finding in stories posted and unposted is a strong belief in the sexiness of confidence and the importance of it's growth.

Thinking of my own writing, I also tend to write about loving married couples having wild and horny sex. My characters are always in love or at the start of falling in love. I haven't (as yet) written a story where no love is involved. I think this is because as far as my experiences go sex and love go hand in hand and sex without love doesn't have that Zing for me.
I have smaller themes, threesomes involving a husband ,a wife and another come up alot because that is my husband's favourite fantasy and I find myself writing out fantasies for him alot.
But yes I think my main theme is love. My characters are in love. Maybe the beginnings of it, maybe the middle and one of these days I might write about a couple at the end of their love. We'll see.

I Had To Stop and Think About This One
First of all, almost all of my stories are interrelated. I started with the Training Michelle series (6 chapters), and then continued with the same cast of characters, adding some and dropping some along the way. While not really "linear" the sequence in which they were written parallels the evolution of the characters' relationships (brilliant insight, that).
Within the last year, I started writing more independent, stand-aline stories with completely different characters; and now I've started including some of the earlier characters in the new stories in cameo roles.
Sometimes by name, and sometimes only by description. I think it adds a special little smile for the regular readers who spot the folks with the walk-on parts.
Sort of a "Where's Waldo" with wicked women instead of the geek in the goofy hat.
I also can't seem to stop writing from the female's POV, like several of the others have said, and for similar reasons. I just seem to want to spend more time with them. But then, who wouldn't?
Other things that seem to keep coming around again and showing up whether I consciously think about them or not include flowers - especially a submissive woman being flogged with flowers, religious references (not as priests or nuns, but more as in the rituals and symbols of worship and deference and devotion), and shameless exhibtionism.
Lots of sounds and smells and visuals, too. I definitely try for a surround-sense experience for the reader.
And respect and honor and trust, too. I want the readers to love the characters and their relationships, and feel like they have some semblence of reality to them, even though many of the stories would be hard to stage in real life.
Any other themes would have to be offered up by a shrink (hopefully a kinky, perverted one).
Sin.

I'm guess I'm still waiting for the email saying all my stories are identical just different names, places etc
But some themes are conscious decisions, and others sub-conscious.
Eg incest - the stories I have written for this category are mostly 'lust comes suddenly or almost accidentally', rather than 'feelings built up over time and they have to finally act upon it' - and this is deliberate, because it's ties in with how I view the incest category.

fuck love fuck love love fuck...
Love does come up, and honesty, and candor and respect, in our works, doesn't it?
I find some lit. stories avoid love entirely, presenting the couplings as instinctual or perhaps animal; derived from our animal natures entirely.
I can't do anything longer than, say, the vignette-length Camel Toe story I did on a request, without love being a big part of it. What love is, what it does, what it means to each partner at their own spiritual level and how the new absorption of a sexual relationship develops their love or changes it.
Love is a major theme for a lot of the best writing here. But I do get distracted by a good opportunity to bash authority. In fiction, at least, authority holds still long enough to get that bop square on the nose.

Most of my non erotic writings have a male lead who is in over his head, but keepd on forging ahead. The alternative is either against his own moral code, or hideously painful.
About 60% of my non erotic stories are what I would call modern fantasy. usually with a romantic sub-plot in there somewhere.
The other 40% are a mixture of suspense and/or action.
Ny erotic stories usually have a dominant male lead with a willing and happy partner, (or two, or three)
The male leads in most of my erotic stories tend to be very caring and sensual toward their women, but nt a womp by any means.
Most of the women in my stories are intelligent and strong in their own right.
Agressive sexually and not afraid to ask for whjat they want. although I do write in the occasional dippy bimbo type.
OK that's more than enough for one post.
