Birthday Sex: the winners

Yes, that’s right, winners plural. I was originally only going to award one prize for this competition: it was conceived and executed in a rather impromptu, haphazard manner, and to be honest I wasn’t sure it would attract much of a response, in terms of either quantity or quality. Somehow, in the space of 31 hours, a whole bunch of you contrived to provide both.

I didn’t get any birthday sex of my own in the end, but what I did get was an inbox full of back-alley blowjobs, al fresco spanking, late-night quickies, anal for him, anal for her, handjobs, femsub, blindfolds, cupcakes, library frustration, female domination, and Anna Kournikova. Not a bad haul, all things considered. Reading (and re-reading, and re-reading, and…) them has been a cock-twitchingly enjoyable experience, so thank you all very much, and rest assured I’ll be tapping you up again in around five months for any tales of festive fun you might have to offer.

Right, on to the winners. I managed to narrow it down from 13 to eight this morning, from eight to five over lunch, and from five to three just now. The last two cuts probably deserve ‘honourable mention’ status, so I’ll give a tip of the cap now to Ella Dawson and Maria Merian, both of whom are really natural, engaging writers, with an eye for what makes a situation properly hot.

Third place goes to Oleander Plume. I’m not into spanking, I generally prefer my erotica gritty rather than funny, and Brent is quite frankly a ludicrously American excuse for a man’s name, but this story still really worked, and that’s down to the skill with which the author told it. Given how much I enjoyed this one, I imagine that anyone who does get off on being spanked probably didn’t make it all the way to the end without having to shove a hand down between their legs…

The runner-up this time is Anna Sky, who, in a mere 233 words, doesn’t so much give her man a sexy birthday present, as allow him to take it from her. It’s an incredibly simple piece of writing, and sort of sweet too (which doesn’t normally do it for me), but the imagery is so vivid, and so ridiculously hot, that when I woke up this morning feeling super-horny, Anna’s scenario was the first to load up in my head.

The winning entry kind of took me by surprise, because the author is completely new to me. However, Abby Cranky‘s untitled piece of absolute filth not only turned me on each time I read it this morning, it got my cock hard whenever I even thought about the birthday experiences that she described. Other pieces were more polished, other pieces were better structured, but in the end I felt that of all the stories I received, Abby’s was the one that best captured the spirit of what I had in mind when I wrote the brief. I might never have had memorable birthday sex, but it’s good to know that for three guys at least, things are very different!

Congratulations, Abby, and please get in touch by email or DM to let me know which of the prizes you’d like. Anna, you’ll then get to choose between the two remaining prizes, and Oleander, I’m afraid you get stuck with whatever’s left! I realise a couple of the prizes require the winner to surrender a level of anonymity, so Anna/Oleander, if that’s something you’re uncomfortable with, I’m sure I can come up with an alternative.

Thank you all for making my birthday so much fun – and so fucking sexy!

Cheers,
