Short Stories & Poems on Playfulness in Sex and Eroticism
Deadline: August 25, 2025
For the first issue (both printed and online) of Posizioni, we’re seeking short stories and poems that explore the theme of playfulness in sex and eroticism.
How does desire express itself through humor, roleplay, costume, awkwardness, fantasy, or mischief? We invite submissions that celebrate eroticism not just as intensity or depth, but as lightness, curiosity, and joyful experimentation.
What We’re Looking For
Stories and poems centered on playful, consensual sexual expression.
A wide range of tones—witty, surreal, poetic, awkward, absurd, or tender.
Inventive uses of language and form.
Erotic writing that is inclusive, imaginative, and body-positive.
Submission Guidelines
Length: Approximately 5,000 characters per piece
Genres: Short fiction and poetry
Language: English or Italian
Format: .doc or .docx
Include a short author bio (max 150 words)
Submissions
Email submissions to magazine@posizionifestival.it
Subject line: “Posizioni – Playfulness – [Your Name]”
We do not accept work involving non-consensual acts, underage characters in sexual contexts, or discriminatory content.
At Posizioni, we believe eroticism is about rhythm, creativity, and surprise. How do your characters play?
