My friend Carly Milne, author of Sexography, has teamed up with Chelsea Bowers and Kevin Apgar to launch a blogging contest to benefit Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) during the month of April, which is National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. The goal is to raise enough money to offer victims of sexual abuse, sexual assault and rape an online hotline offering counseling and assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

All you have to do is sign up before March 30, blog about sexuality and how it relates to your life, include the contest button and encourage your readers to donate. The more donations you channel, the closer you are to a prize. (Total value of prizes if $5,000.)

Also, you don’t have to be a ’sex writer’ or ’sex blogger’ or ’sex anything’ to participate.

Contests and prizes are too much pressure for me, egads! I’m going to do it because I want to, but I’m exempting myself from the competition.

However, for those of you with more fortitude than I, the full contest details and rules and sign-up instructions and prize descriptions and nifty graphics and all the rest are here:
