So what’s the EZines’ take on the difference between Erotica and Pornography?
_________________
Erotica is a form of Romantic Fiction that takes a situation further than first base; it goes underneath to expose the feelings each party has about the situation and about each other; but stops short of just pointless one-time rumps in the sack. Pornographic stories may or may not have a plotline, and tend to ONLY focus on the highly physically descriptive carnal rump in the sack. There are no emotions exhibited other than lust, and filled with what reads like stage directions (i.e. She sucked his cock till he came or She licked her pussy over and over till she came). These stories are only meant to only create a jerk-off or rub-out response and not entice the reader to care about these characters, the plot, the message behind the story, or even the craft of the writing. Basically, if it reads like a pornographic movie, its no longer an erotic story – its Pornography.

What kind of Erotica is Vanillerotica looking for?
_________________
Vanillerotica is looking for romantic erotic poems and Happily Ever After stories that takes your breath away with emotion. Works that not only make your stomach flutter and your palms sweaty, but also stories that use those gushy feelings to enhance the physical acts of expressing sexuality.

These poems are the kind of poems that REALLY celebrate what Vanillerotica wants to put out into the world. They are extremely moving, romantic, powerful, and yet sexy, edgy, and erotic. Congratulations to both Poets for such wonderful contributions to the EZine.
*1st Place: Hinges by Shawn Purcell
What Hinges
Can I oil
To close the doors she opened?
How is it,
I can find,
So many places to hide in her
Coffee colored eyes?
And how does a smile
Flood the Chambers
Of a heart?
How,
How come the juice her body
Excretes tastes so sweet to the tongue
As it meanders slowly into
My mouth?
And how is it? that the velvet night
Anchors
The knife she turns in me?
**2nd Place: Heat by C.A. Gruber
Moaning and shifting,
the same man always
leads the way,
knowing what he wants,
understanding what he needs.
Turning and pressing,
opening himself
to the other
in the only way
that will satisfy,
he grunts and grinds
as his friend
thrusts and moans,
both men oblivious
to all but the heat
they can’t extinguish.
No words spoken
as they roll apart at last,
bodies struggling
to regain control.
Perspiration saturates
despite the summer wind,
the two men shivering
involuntarily, both knowing
the bodily reaction
is so much more
than just the
mountain breeze
cooling the sweat from
their brilliantly-charged skin.
These poems will be displayed on the front page of this E-Zine till new winners are declared. A certificate plus $75 for 1st Place poem, $50 for 2nd Place poem was sent out at the end of February 2014.
CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN TO BOTH OF YOU!!!!

Hello, i think that i saw you visited my website so i came to “return the
favor”.I’m trying to find things to improve my website!I suppose its ok to use some of your ideas!!
Hi I’d like to submit any of my poems for inclusion in your zine (though I have a few of my best in mind). My site is http://www.eroticapoetica.wordpress.com How do you accept submissions?
Through email at talentdripseroticpublishing@yahoo.com
Sent story “Sinkholes” in December, 2015, and have not heard back. Be advised that I have revised the story to make it more vanilla, but it is still an erotic horror tale.
Like to hear what you thought.
