Sexology

A Literary Journal of Sex Writing

Submissions

Sexology is looking for quality, intelligent, moving, and surprising fiction, personal essays, and poetry

Sexology wants your personal essays, fiction, and poetry that examines sex as a cultural phenomenon and encourages potential discussion with our readers. Submissions should be no more than 2000 words for prose, no more than 1000 words for poetry. Writing can be raunchy, arousing, and nasty as hell, but please, no straight porn, no straight erotica, and no romance. Also, no journalistic articles.

We will get back to you when we damn well please. Also, we will compensate you only by making you our love slaves. Or, alternatively, you can spit on us and call us whores. There will be no money exchanging hands because there is no money associated with this journal. If you find this disgusting and offensive and think writers should be paid for what they do, we absolutely agree. But we still don’t have any money to pay you.

Send submissions both in the body of the text and as Word doc attachments. Please scan for viruses first, as viruses are decidedly not sexy. Include a brief bio in your email, as well.

Sexology is an online-only journal.

We prefer previously unpublished work. We will consider reprints, however, if you have the rights and the work was published ages ago. Authors retain rights. Please credit us if your work is republished. Simultaneous submissions are allowed, as long as you notify us if accepted elsewhere.

Our acquisitions editor Emily Shannon received her BA in English at the University of Rochester. She moved 3000 miles away from everything she knew to write in the damp Pacific Northwest. She seeks writers with the capacity to be bold and honest about sex -- how it looks, how it feels, what it means and how it functions in one's life.
