We are back and looking forward to seeing more from all the talented authors here at WDC! For the next several months this will be run as a monthly prompt due to my own time limitations but whenever possible I will run "flash" contests with a much shorter duration so watch for those!
Thank you for stopping by Sensual Moments contest page, brought to you by the "Sensual Infusion" group. We hope you'll enjoy your stay! ![Wink *Wink*](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/e21/wink.png)
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 support the erotica genre as well as the entire WDC community at large with showcasing quality erotica stories and poems by our many talented authors and poets.

Round 1
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **
Round 1: fantasy or regency prompt. The man in the picture strikes me as very alpha male; stable master, lord of the manor. Write a scenario describing a character's perceptions. Does he/she act on his/her desire or just enjoy a nice dream of what could be.
Vixey Todd is the judge for this round unless our winner would prefer to select a guest judge to fill in.
