FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
World’s First Sex-Blog Network, SexNotWork, Announces 24hr Membership Application Window Starting February 20th
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB), February 16 2006 — Today Sam Sugar announced that on Monday 20th February 2006, SexNotWork – the world’s first sex-blog network – will begin accepting membership applications from blogs, podcasts, and other RSS enabled sites with a sexual theme for a period of 24hrs. SexNotWork is a collaboration between Sugar, whose background is in mainstream magazine publishing and the adult industry – which he blogs at SugarBank, and Paul Scrivens, whose Whitespace blog propelled him onto the ‘A-list’, and is founder of the world’s largest blog network 9rules.
“SexNotWork is going to bring back all the fun, sophistication and quality to on-screen sex that Paris Hilton has drained out of it,” said Sugar. “We’re looking for bloggers who understand that networks are the best way to organically build links and traffic. Limiting the application window is a move that’s worked well in the past and will reward people who are as excited about SexNotWork as we are.”
SexNotWork will offer bloggers exposure and community, and enable advertisers to reach hundreds-of-thousands of readers, over many blogs, from a single point.
“Sex sells,” said Scrivens. “SexNotWork is going to connect smart, educated, sexy people with smart, educated, sexy blogs. We know that people interested in cars, politics and gossip, also like to read about sex. SexNotWork is the first network to make sexuality its central theme, and the first to assume sex curious people are as likely to read the New Yorker as the New York Post.”
SexNotWork will be in place by the end of February; Sugar and Scrivens are confident it will take its place among the top tier of blog networks.
“SexNotWork is capable of attracting more daily readers than any other blog network,” said Sugar. “Sexuality is an eternal part of human nature – why else are so many people in cave-paintings naked? Sex is our most fundamental drive, and unless it suddenly goes out of fashion, SexNotWork is guaranteed a sizeable audience. We want to change perceptions, promoting blogs which demonstrate that sexy needn’t mean stupid, erotic needn’t mean explicit and graphic needn’t mean gross.”

February 20th – hmmmm. Also President’s Day in the US. Sex and presidents. Goes hand in hand. Either they are sex fiends or are totally repressed about it. Against Love by Laura Kipnis has a pretty good take on it by the way.
Seska – you’re living evidence of this whole ’smart pervs’ thing we’re talking about…
Thanks for the tip Seska, I’ll have to check it out on the next book binge.
And thanks for the heads up, Sam. This is the first time a press release has made me laugh intentionally.
Love the lens flare on the coming soon site! I think that might be the first article about a sexually oriented website that hasn’t pissed me off.
Brandon – the designer behind SNW is far more talented than I could ever hope to be. Expect greatness (I’ve seen some very exciting previews).
Sam.
Mike Rundle perhaps?
Matt
Oy Gevalt- enough with the pressure already! I can feel it behind my eyes.
zero – Respect the network… Tame the blog… That’s what Frank TJ Mackie always told me.
call HART crazy .. but why is this ‘tagged’ under Jason Calacanis? I am just curious. Anyway good luck on 20th I guess!
Hart – that was pure fuck-up. Fixed.
I didn’t see your request in time. I ask that you consider my sex blog “Onania — The Journal of Chronic Masturbation”. It is the record of my personal research and exploration of the subject of chronic, obsessive masturbation, primarily though not exclusively from a male perspective. I feature personal articles contributed my practicing masturbators, news items, scholarly research, and discussion of masturbatory addiction topics. I update the blog daily.
