1,200 word or less orgasm erotica anthology deadline exteneded to June 13th

Another shot at my orgasm anthology, which is rapidly filling up! Here's my update (the anal sex anthology is closed): I am especially looking for stories dealing with more than one partner (threesomes or group scenarios), stories from male POVs, stories about submissive males, stories about male masturbation, bisexual stories, sex toys that aren't vibrators, and anything unusual, over the top, extremely creative. Stories should ideally be between 1,000-1,200 words but I will consider shorter…See More
