My friend Carly is holding this one-of-a-kind fundraiser for RAINN (seriously, I've never seen anything like this done before) targeted specifically at bloggers (as in, people with an actual blog -- recently I've seen "bloggers" used to refer to those who comment on blogs and "blogging" as reading blogs, which I guess really underlines the communal aspect of the medium, but just seems weird to me). ANYWAY! I told her I'd help her get the word out on it and so here it is:
Carly’s book, Sexography, is both a tragic and comedic memoirs about her journey of sexual self-discovery. And now, it’s your turn to blog your own version of Sexography. Even if you’re not a “sex writer” per se, we want to encourage you to explore the comedy, fear, silliness, scariness, million-and-one emotions and million-and-one experiences that are mental, physical, emotional and spiritual, all of which make up the rich tapestry of sexuality. So if you want to write about how your dog watches you masturbate or how you can't stand porn or about your first time or what you think of sex in the media and how it affects you personally, you should. What you write about is up to you, just as long as it falls under the “sexuality” header. Personal stories about survival are strongly encouraged.
For each Sexography blog entry you post, you’ll be soliciting donations for RAINN from the readers you entertain and engage with your commentary. But the best part? Not only will you be helping an incredible cause, but the bloggers who come in first, second and third place for most funds raised will nab fabulous prizes.
There's plenty of more info on how to take part here. If you don't have a blog, but want to donate to the cause anyway, you can do so here (make sure you note "GBBMC2008" in the info box).
