There are a number of things I do before I get out of bed in a morning (no, I’m not giving you a list!). One of them is to check the stuff that has turned up on my phone overnight. Imagine my utter dumbfounded surprise when I checked this morning and found that I had made the top 100 sex bloggers list!

I’m totally stunned! It never occurred to me that I might find myself among such amazing, talented writers. I haven’t a clue how I got on the list, but to anyone who nominated me, thank you so very much! It is with immense pleasure that I can now add the award to my blog! Once again, the wonderful Molly Moore has done a superb job of compiling the list from nominations.

I really do want to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Kayla Lords for deservedly sitting at the top of the list. All of Kayla’s blogs are fabulous, as is her Loving BDSM podcast. She has done so much in this past year for her readers, her listeners, and for the sex writers in general, setting up The Smutlancer website and blog and offering her wealth of expertise. I’m extremely pleased to see her in the Number 1 spot! Congratulations to all the bloggers in the top ten, and to everyone else on the list. You are brilliant at what you do! You can find the entire list with descriptions on Molly Moore’s website here. But in case you can’t wait, this is a complete list of the top 100 – no description, just the exciting facts, courtesy of Molly:

I’m delighted to see that I follow a lot of the writers here. There are some on this list who are new to me, but not for much longer! I know a lot of you follow many sex bloggers, but there is bound to be a whole host of writers who are new to you and whose work will captivate your attention. Please do follow them and spread some blogging love.

I want to say congratulations to every other sex blogger out there, too. The fact that you write about sex, the erotic, your pleasure, pain, emotions and everything in between, and you do it for an ever-growing community which genuinely appreciates what you have to say, is an amazing thing. It allows us to talk about what is important to us, in a world where censorship is once again on the increase. Please, please keep doing what you are doing. Writing on sex and the erotic is among the best work I have ever seen, and I am proud to be a part of such an incredible community that treats sex with such honesty, integrity and intelligence.

Congratulations to us all! (Did that come out a bit “Tiny Tim-esque”?! Sorry!)

Happy reading, and happy blogging!
