Slate interviewed me about editing the sex diaries

Amanda Hess at Slate interviewed me about editing the sex diaries! I read Slate every day and they are in my Top 5 Publications I'd Like To Write For so this was very exciting. Plus since the end of the diaries was announced two weeks ago I hadn't realized there was so much interest in it.

The last sex diary

The last sex diary went up today, and it's kinky and poly: The Portland Woman Masturbating With Clothespins on Her Nipples. Thanks for supporting the series!

My job involves fact checking how to spell Guns N' Roses

This week's sex diary by a female music critic had me fact checking how to spell Guns N' Roses! I love my job. Want to write an anonymous sex diary and get paid? First, read a sex diary or three so you know what they're all about, then if you're still interested, email me at sexdiaries at nymag.com and tell me a little about you and why you'd make a good diarist.

Yes, I want to edit your sex diaries

Lots of people tell me they've wanted to write a sex diary but...something stopped them. With a new year approaching, if you've wanted to write one, here's a nudge to consider writing an anonymous sex diary and letting out your inner literary exhibitionist. You can read the previous diaries here to get a sense of the style and content. There's no minimum (or maximum!) amount of sex required, or any other requirements, for that matter, in terms of sexual content, just a lively, interesting personality and way of looking at your own life (as far as I'm concerned). Email me at sexdiaries at nymag.com if you're interested (and/or plan to have a wild and sexy New Year's Eve). Thank you for reading and for referring people to the diaries. It's greatly appreciated! Happy, sexy New Year!

Hurricane Sandy sex

Thanks!

Should every woman over 30 try being a cougar?

That's what this week's sex diarist thinks! She's 32 and with a 20-year-old guy.

Last week's diary was "The Lesbian Couple Trying to Scare the Straight People in Provincetown"

If these inspire you to write your own, either for the online series or to be considered for the 2013 book of sex diaries I'm editing for Ten Speed Press, email me at sexdiaries at nymag.com and feel free to pass this on! To be considered for the book, I'd need your full 7-day diary by September 30th. Thank you for all your referrals, they've been very helpful.

I want your sex diaries!

Now seems like a good time to remind you that I need more sex diarists for the book of all original sex diaries, out in 2013 from Ten Speed Press (yes, it pays). Ideally looking for people outside NYC, SF and Seattle but I'm open, also need more single people, men, people over 40, political conservatives, people with non-desk jobs and someone to write a Burning Man sex diary for the book (those are just some of the people I'm looking for, but I'm pretty open). First, read a few sex diaries so you know the style and what I'm looking for, then if you're still interested, email me at sexdiaries at nymag.com and tell me why you'd make a good candidate and I'll send you more info.

I'm editing the Sex Diaries book and looking for diarists from across the United States

Here's the announcement that ran in Publishers Marketplace about the book version of the sex diaries I edit. I'd love it if you'd let anyone you know who might be a good fit, especially people not in NYC or SF or LA, people who are over 40, anyone with an interesting sex life, to read a few diaries so they know what we are looking for and then contact me about this at sexdiaries at nymag.com - tell me why you'd make a good sex diarist and I'll send you more information. Thank you!!!

New York Magazine's THE SEX DIARIES, based on the magazine's online column of the same name, which has been profiling the sex lives of average New Yorkers since 2007, and comprising 50 original entries from diarists ranging from young to old, conservative to liberal, coastal to middle American, impoverished to affluent, for a peek behind America's closed doors, to Jenny Wapner at Ten Speed Press, by David McCormick at McCormick & Williams Literary Agency.

Sex sex sex diaries

I'm writing because I would love it if you'd pass on my call for sex diarists for the Daily Intel weekly sex diary series to anyone you know who might make a good candidate. You can be single, in a relationship, in New York, not in New York; there's no minimum or maximum amount of sex. Rather, I want you to be able to tell us why you like who and what you like and what a week in your love like looks like. After you've read a few diaries, if you're still interested, email me at sexdiaries at nymag.com and tell me in a few sentences why you would make a good diarist (could be anything from having a thing for redheads to dating two people at once to being back in the dating game after a divorce, to name just three of an infinite possible list of things we're looking for). All diaries are anonymous. Thank you!

A golden shower in the shower and Flavorwire wants you to read Women in Lust

I edit the weekly Sex Diaries at Daily Intel, and am always on the lookout for outspoken anonymous literary exhibitionist types to write one (yes, it pays). If you're interested, email me at sexdiaries at nymag.com and tell me why you'd make a good diarist - you don't have to be in NYC and definitely don't have to be a writer (I'd actually love to see some offbeat professions in the diaries, if you know anyone who'd fit the bill).

This week's diary is "The Publicist Whose Breasts Are the Perfect Size to Be Peed On" and last week's was "The Lesbian Whose Dreams Are Much Dirtier Than Her Sex Life".

And a lovely boost for my book Women in Lust, the one with the hottest of my 40+ covers, in my opinion, a plug from Flavorwire on their list of "10 Risqué Books Worth Buying a Kindle to Read". They say:

Women in Lust is a kind of celebration of female sexuality. The twenty short pieces of erotica revolve around the theme of (you guessed it) lust, and the boundaries it allows people to cross. Being an anthology, it offers a little bit of everything (including romance), but the book definitely leans toward the submissive hetero female, à la Anastasia Steele from Fifty Shades of Grey. Just so you know what you’re getting into.

Mommy blogger sex diary

This week's sex diary (I'm the editor): "The Single Mommy Blogger Having Sex on Office Tabletops".

Enjoy! And if you want to write an anonymous sex diary for Daily Intel or know someone who'd be a good candidate, contact me at sexdiaries at nymag.com and tell me why you'd be a good one (or pass on the link above).

Sex diary: panties, pee, hotel sex, phone sex and more!

This week's sex diary: "The Female Attorney Overnighting Her Panties to Her Lover" - this week's is very lively, and I've got some fascinating ones lined up soon, including parent sex. Yes, parents have sex. I'm sure you know that, but I like to read about it. Interested in writing an anonymous sex diary? I'm the editor, and you can email me at sexdiaries at nymag.com and tell me why you'd make a great candidate. Or just enjoy the diaries, and the comments! Seriously, and this is me speaking as a reader, not an editor, the comments are hilarious, like this one: "3. Regarding you getting excited over your divorce so you can be with this Miami dude...you are on some fairy princess la la la bullshit right now. You can name all the ingredients of a bag of Funyons quicker than you can tell me one damn thing about this cat. Everything you know about him you Facebook stalked. It's funny, but you're grown enough to know there are other fish in the sea and sh*t so I imagine you know you're on that Tinkerbell bullshit too."

Sex diary: "The Gay Law Clerk Fantasizing About JFK in the White House Pool"

Sex diary: Hipster sex in Williamsburg

I edit the weekly sex diaries for Daily Intel, New York magazine's news blog. If you're interested in writing one (you don't have to be in NYC), email me at sexdiaries at nymag.com and tell me why you'd make a good anonymous sex diarist (it's not about how much sex you're having, but why you're doing it, what you're doing, what makes you stand out - do read a few diaries to get a feel for what they're about if you're new to the diaries); also looking for a married couple to write separate diaries for a week.

This week's diary: "The Williamsburg Travel Editor Who Thinks Hipsters Are Sexy"

Gay sex diary

This week's sex diary: "The Gay Corporate Strategist Wondering If He Has Daddy Issues"

There was all sorts of slang like GUD and NE LAC in this week’s sex diary that I had to ask what it was. I totally thought they would be gay sex slang but actually they’re universal. Read the diary to find out what they are and if you’d like to write an anonymous sex diary for nymag.com email me at sexdiaries at nymag.com and tell me why you’d make a good diarist.

Kinky BDSM spanking sex diary this week!

I imagine this week's sex diary "The Kinky Blogger Who Gets 'Maintenance Spankings'" will be of interest to many of you (I'm the editor). Here's a snippet:

He pulls the "demerits" list off the fridge. I have accrued twenty demerits this week, each one punishable by a spanking, for offenses like being messy and teasing him. I bend over the bed, arching my bottom up in the air. He spanks my bare butt through open-bottomed fishnet panties.
