Want to join the Sugasm?

Being part of the Sugasm means getting your blog linked to from some of the most exciting sex-blogs online.

Use the form below to submit a link to the blog post you’d like included in the next Sugasm. There are no restrictions other than it be relevant, sex-related and published since the last Sugasm.

The top three links in each post are voted on by Sugasm participants, just repost the Sugasm links as published here within a week of publication to guarantee your inclusion and support the cause.

Subscribe to the Sugasm RSS feed so you know as soon as the next Sugasm goes online.

What is the Sugasm?
It’s an informal sex blog network. Participants share traffic, comments, and occasionally bodily fluids (the last two are optional). It’s a great way for newer blogs to get noticed and established blogs to network and gain new readers.

How does it work?
You submit a link to your best post of the week. If your blog meets the criteria, your link goes up in the fresh Sugasm edition on Monday. All participants repost the Sugasm links on their blogs by the close of the next Monday.

Are the entries judged?
No. This is sexual democracy in action. As long as your blog qualifies, the only standards you have to meet are your own.

What kinds of entries do you accept?
Surprise us. Audio, video, erotica, pictures, personal essays, thoughts on sex, whatever you feel like hitting us with. As long as it’s sexy and/or sexual, it qualifies.

Who can submit an entry/who qualifies to participate?
Sex blogs that meet the following criteria can participate:

You have to re-post Sugasm properly
The site has to publish RSS
There has to be content in the post (i.e. it can’t just be a link to something else)
The post has to be properly formatted (i.e. have a title)
The content has to be new in the last 7 days

How do I join the Sugasm?
Submit a link to your best post for the previous week. Send us your permalink, the URL to the specific post you’re submitting, not just a link to your main page. We can’t go through your blog to look for posts.

How do I find the permalink?
Go to the blog and locate the post you want to submit. Click on the title. A new page will open that only shows the selected post. If you look up in the address bar you will see the permalink. Copy and send this link to us.

When is the submission deadline?
Midnight PST each Thursday. If you’re late, your submission will be included next week.

Can I submit early (before the post request)?
You can start submitting for the next week’s Sugasm as soon as submissions for the current one close on Thursday.

Okay, I joined - now what do I do?
On Monday when the Sugasm is posted, repost the links on your blog.

You are required to post everything above the lines:

‘Sugasm participants should re-post all the links above…’

You’ll want to check back over the weekend for any last-minute updates. Subscribing to the Sugasm post-only feed is a good way to do this.

How do we vote?
Only Sugasm participants can vote for the Top Week’s Picks. You are not allowed to vote for your own post. On Friday all Sugasm participants will be emailed a draft of the upcoming Sugasm post. Look over the draft and send us back your choices for the top three spots by Sunday.

What happens if I don’t post the links by the end of next Monday?
Your link gets taken down and other participants are strongly encouraged to update the Sugasm post to reflect this.

Life happens - if you can’t get the links up in time because you’re out of town, sick, or whatever, just email us with a heads up and we’ll accept a late posting. If you don’t post because you don’t want to share we won’t let you play again.

I’m new to blogging. How do I copy the links without retyping?
Click on the post title of the Sugasm, then click on View > Page Source (View > Source in IE). Scroll down until you see the start of the Sugasm post, copy the code and paste that into your blog.

I don’t want the links messing with my format? Can I just link to the Sugasm site on my blogroll/link to the Sugasm I’m in on my blogroll/post the Sugasm links in an aside?
Linking to the Sugasm on your blogroll is optional and appreciated but it won’t exempt you from reposting the Sugasm links in a post. You can post the Sugasm links in an aside as long as the post still ends up in your main RSS feed.

How do I get my post above the fold?
The top 3 posts with the most votes and an editor’s choice get above the fold. Do something great and get voted for.

I submitted my link, but it’s not in the Sugasm
If you’re not a spammer, you submitted your post correctly, and you were omitted, we probably goofed. Sorry. Let us know ASAP and we’ll fix it.
