The winning story, "Kindling for the Flame," depicts the first sexual encounter between a young couple, as remembered many years later. The judges said the story "embraced the theme of discovery in a beautiful and positive way ... the writer perfectly invokes the moment and allows the reader to feel every sensation and every emotion."
The runner-up piece follows the distinctly steamy adventures of a blind woman experimenting with pegging her male lover at an orgy, according to the company, and the third winner is an unusual literary tale of a mutual masturbation session.
The competition ran for two months and judges received more than 60 entries.
"Erotic fiction is a great way for women to discover new aspects of their sexuality," said Karen Jones, webmistress of For The Girls. "We wanted our fiction competition to reflect that idea — the urge to explore and find new things. Many straight women want to experience erotic material but the world of porn can still be a confronting place. For The Girls has always been about helping women to enjoy erotica in a female-friendly space."
The three winning stories, plus another 10 honorable mention stories will be published on the site. All winners received cash prizes plus a month’s membership to For The Girls.
