       Just to be clear, the intent for this forum thread was not to write erotica. It was to be a fun and light-hearted writing exercise to bring hubbers together.
       
       I'm not sure HubPages stance on the erotica writing genre, but I do not want to be flagged for adult content, so please keep that in mind as we write this story.
