The Sex-Positive Journalism Awards got a shoutout in the introduction to Cleis Press’s Best Sex Writing 2009, edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel (a Sexies judge for the 2009 awards), and three Sexies winners show up in its pages.
The anthology includes pieces from “blogs, magazines, newspapers and books” and with its blend of news, opinion, and essay is meant to stimulate “your biggest sex organ, your brain” rather than arouse (Cleis has other books for that!).
The Sexies runner up article "War Games” by Tom Johansmeyer is included the collection, as are pieces by Sexies first-place winners Debbie Nathan and Amanda Robb. In fact, Bussel says she discovered Robb through the Sexies!

The Sexies were brought about in collaboration with writers, readers, and activists from The Center for Sex & Culture and the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, and with support from sponsors Babeland, The Playboy Foundation, Xbiz, UltraVirgo Creative, and Splash.
