Thank you for stopping by Sensual Moments contest page, brought to you by the "Sensual Infusion" group. We hope you'll enjoy your stay! 
The purpose of this contest is to showcase your talent as an author of erotica.
Each submitted piece should therefore display both erotic and literary skills.
The goal is to create an anthology of quality erotica stories and poems which will ultimately be published.
The Fine Print 
 All submissions must be written by authors 18+ years of age.
 Each contestant may only submit one Moment per round.
 Each round will last one week, (ideally  ) starting Monday morning 12:01 and finishing the next Sunday night at 11:59. For that reason, any entries submitted after midnight WDC time will not be considered.
 All entries must be submitted as a message on the forum in bitem format. If you don't know how to use the bitem format, please check out " Linking Help And Practice"  for more information.
 A maximum of 10 entries will be allowed per round. First come, first served!
Writing rules 
Please make sure to follow the rules mentioned below or your story will not be considered.
Your short story should be between 1,000 and 3,000 words. If you choose to write a poem, then make sure you don't exceed the 1,000 word limit.
Place a word count at the beginning or at the end of your item.
Make sure to follow the round's prompt. Put the round's prompt either at the beginning or the end of your item.
New or old, we accept them all. Just make sure your older creations follow the current round's prompt. Should you have any doubts, feel free to ask the round's judge.
Edits up to the deadline are allowed and encouraged.
There are a few things we do not want to see in your creations, so don't bother.
No rape, no bestiality, no underage, no incest and no violence.
