Taylor Andrews, Wellness Editor at POPSUGAR, is looking for pitches:
I’m looking for LGBTQ+ writers to detail the best sex they’ve ever experienced. Here are a few examples we've already run to give you an idea. (But please don't pitch anything that's too similar to the below or else it will rep!)
- My Partner Gave Me the Best Orgasm of My Life Without Even Touching Me
- I Never Thought Rough Sex Could Lead to Love, Until It Did
- I Had a Threesome With My Boyfriend and Aunt Flo, and the Results Were Orgasmic
- Bringing a Vibrator Into the Bedroom Led to the Best Sex of My Life
- After My Divorce, I Learned How to Masturbate — and Had the Best Orgasm of My Life
Compensation is $200 and word count is flexible, but maybe around 700 words give or take. All stories will be anonymous. Please send through pitches ASAP, but I'll accept them until 5/16 EOD. Email me at taylor.andrews@voxmedia.com with the subject “Good Sex Pitch.”
