That's really impossible to say without knowing what you want to achieve.
I generally group my works into three categories:
1. Basic erotica (AKA strokers). These are usually shortish stories that revolve around a single sex scene. A set-up to explain the scenario and introduce the characters, then the sex, then a few words of how it feels after.
2. Narrative stories with sex. These are mostly longer, and it's all about the plot or the characters. I like to make the sex intrinsic to the story, with characters that are inherently sexual, but they have other goals beyond just the sex. These are mostly my sci-fi and fantasy stories.
3. What I call "artsy stuff". Stories where I'm experimenting or trying to achieve something new. If there's sex in these, it's mostly just because I enjoy writing sex.
What questions do they answer? Probably none, or at least none that I set out to answer, or even ask. I recommend just writing a story that pleases you, and hopefully the readers as well.
I wouldn't worry about any "rules" of fiction writing. Even ignoring the fact that they don't apply universally anyway, erotica is a genre all of its own. Readers come to Lit for a specific reason: to read hot sex scenes. Stories with literary merit are appreciated, but they won't necessarily get a better response than a well-written stroker.
What's great about Lit is that you can experiment. You can write and publish, and see what people like, and then write and publish some more. Explore different styles and genres. See what works for you and what doesn't. The more you write, the better you'll generally become. So write as much as you can, for as long as you enjoy it, and see where it takes you.
Good luck, and have fun!

an excellent source I'd recommend is Literotica member, silkstockingslover.
She's a terrific writer and writes across a lot of different erotic genres.
I can't guarantee she has the time, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
