The best way I've found is to simply do some reading. Check out other books and let your mind wander for a while. Ideas will start to come naturally and then it's just a matter of motivating yourself, however you can, and putting those wild ideas into written form.

As far as the other thing...well, it's a valid concern. My wife usually helps me out with it, although sometimes waiting for her to get home can be a real pain. :)

It is not coincidence.

I worked as a skilled healthcare professional, in a clinical capacity. Not a doctor. Not a nurse. That's about as far as I'll say there.

Some of my coworkers (especially the ones that pissed me off) may have been a major influence behind some of the characters I've created - and they usually wound up being sodomized in some fashion. I call it "stress relief".

I do get some pretty interesting fan mail. Mostly, it is full of advice about what they'd like to see in future stories, or changes they think I should make. Sometimes it is purely complimentary.

One time, I got a slew of photographs taken by a naked woman who really, really liked one of my stories. That was kinda cool. I don't really get hatemail.

My advice to you if you'd like to get started is this:

1) Read stories that are within the top 100 of the genre you want to write. Learn what those authors are doing right and then try to make sure your stuff goes in that direction.

2) Write your story. It doesn't have to be Hamlet. Eventually, you'll learn what "Good enough" is if you haven't already.

3) Register at all the places you can possibly publish your books at. This step is easy and is about like filling out a job application online.

4) Make the best cover you possibly can. People buy because of the cover, more than anything. Make it hot.

5) Selfpublish your book to the places you registered at earlier. Make sure to price it competitively.

6) Continue writing as much as you possibly can and publishing often.

I started out by looking at what was already out there. When I first jumped on the erotica train, Amazon did not adult filter most of the things I've written about and those kinks sold VERY well. They still do. So, I write what sells. As far as inventing the plots and ideas for my stories - I really don't know. My brain is weird. Browsing through the stock images that I use for cover art sometimes prompt entire stories in my head, which I then turn into the smut you see.
