What are some common themes in African native stories that are not sexual in nature?

African folklore is rich and diverse, but focusing on so - called 'sex stories' in a vulgar way is inappropriate. African folklore mainly includes tales of heroes, creation myths, moral lessons, and cultural traditions.

One common theme is the presence of vengeful spirits. For example, in many Native American stories, if someone desecrates a sacred place, a spirit might come to haunt them. Another theme is nature turning against humans. In some native African stories, when people over - hunt or don't respect the land, the forest or the animals in it can become menacing.

Common themes in African love stories include respect. Lovers respect each other's individuality and cultural backgrounds. There's also the theme of sacrifice. Sometimes one or both lovers have to sacrifice personal desires for the sake of the relationship or the family. And unity is another aspect. African love stories often show how love can bring two people together to form a strong, unified bond, whether it's against external hardships or just to build a life together.

Another theme is the importance of family and community. Stories frequently show how the tribe as a whole supports and depends on each other. For instance, in many stories, the whole village comes together to face a common threat or to celebrate a special occasion. They also often pass down wisdom and values from one generation to the next within the family and community.

A prevalent theme in Native Americans telling stories is family and community. The stories pass on values within the tribe, such as respect for elders. For example, stories might show how the younger generation learns important skills from the older ones. They also often have themes of survival and how the tribe overcame difficulties in the past.

I'm not entirely sure as this might refer to some rather inappropriate or less common genre. However, generally in stories that involve cultural exploration (if we remove the 'erotic' part), common themes could be the clash and融合 of different cultures, the discovery of new traditions and ways of life.

One common theme is the emergence from a primordial place. For example, in some stories, people emerge from an underworld. Another theme is the role of animals as creators or helpers. They often play important parts in shaping the world and teaching humans. Also, the idea of a great spirit or multiple spirits guiding the creation process is prevalent.

One common theme is the importance of wisdom. As seen in the Anansi stories, wisdom is highly valued. Characters often strive to gain or protect wisdom. Another theme is cleverness over strength. In stories like the Hare and the Elephant race, the smaller and weaker Hare uses his wits to win against the much stronger Elephant. Also, there is often a moral lesson, like in the Tortoise and the Birds story, where the Tortoise's greed and disobedience lead to his downfall.

One common theme is the power of nature. Many stories involve dangerous animals, like lions or snakes that take on a more sinister role. For example, a snake might be a cursed spirit that haunts a village.

One common theme is the clash between traditional African culture and modernity. For example, in many stories, characters have to choose between following old tribal ways or adapting to new Western - influenced lifestyles. Another theme is the struggle for identity. Africans often have to define themselves in the context of colonial and post - colonial experiences.
