Blind encounter

[TheOtherTeacher]

I think some writers (myself included) can rely on sight and visual comments too much when writing. We neglect the other senses.

So..

I propose a challenge. Write a first person sexual encounter. You can write from a male or female perspective, and the partner can be either male or female.
BUT your perspective character is completely blind.

You can only describe the encounter with touch, smell, taste, sound and spoken words.

Nobody can physically describe themselves (so no asking the bartender before you leave the bar to describe the love interest) but characters in conversation can reveal their age, profession and other details.

The purpose of this challenge is to focus on the other senses. Like what "your" partner smells like. How their skin tastes when you kiss their neck. If their fingers are large, rough and calloused or small and smooth when they start touching... intimate areas. Etc etc

EDIT - this should be a new encounter. They have never been naked or intimate with this person before.

This is such a fascinating and creative challenge! Focusing on the non-visual senses can really deepen the intimacy and realism of a scene. It forces you to think outside the box and explore how touch, sound, smell, and taste can convey emotion and connection. Plus, it’s a great way to practice sensory writing. I’d love to see how people tackle this, it’s definitely a unique way to spice up storytelling (pun intended). Anyone brave enough to give it a shot?

TheOtherTeacher: you could contact Laurel and volunteer to run this challenge? I really do think your concept will resonate with lots of authors
