What are some common themes in bitten dark stories other than erotic themes?

Well, psychological twists are quite common. In many dark erotic stories, the characters' minds are not in a normal state. There could be elements of obsession, where a character is overly fixated on another in an erotic way. Also, the use of unusual settings, like a desolate mansion or a dark forest, can enhance the mood of the story and is a theme in itself.

Power dynamics within the prison is also a key theme. There are hierarchies among inmates and between inmates and guards. This can lead to conflict and alliances. In 'Brubaker', the movie shows how power is wielded and contested within the prison system.

One common theme is adaptation. Aliens change to adapt to new environments, whether it's a new planet or a situation they encounter during their travels. For instance, they might change their body shape to better navigate through a planet's thick atmosphere or develop new senses to detect hidden threats.

Some common themes in dark erotic fiction are the blurring of boundaries. This can be between pleasure and pain, or good and evil. There is often a sense of the characters being in a morally ambiguous situation. For instance, a character might be attracted to someone who is considered 'bad' in society but finds that attraction irresistible. Also, themes of confinement or captivity can be present, where the erotic element is intertwined with a sense of being trapped, either physically or emotionally.

Often, there are themes related to secrecy and discovery. The transvestite aspect may be something hidden at first, and the erotic elements are intertwined with the process of this secret being revealed. Also, themes of acceptance, not just of the transvestite identity but also of the sexual desires that come with it, can be found. And sometimes there are themes of rebellion against societal norms regarding gender and sexuality.

Power dynamics is a common theme. There's often a dominant and submissive relationship explored. Another theme could be sexual arousal and the exploration of one's sexual boundaries. Also, elements of discipline and reward can be present.
