If you're reading this post, we probably don't have to tell you how freaking amazing the internet is. Or maybe we do. Depending on your age, you might not remember a time before this wondrous web of links and pages connected us all to, well, just about everything. But while the web does an amazing job of connecting people, it can also be kind of lonely out here. We might technically be sharing, reading and connecting, but we're also just alone at our computers - and maybe wondering who the heck out there is reading all this stuff.
That's also why it's easy to take for granted how much the internet has done for sex education. No matter who you are or where you are, you can log on and connect with whatever you need - including other people just like you. You can get the sex education your school won't give you. Or, if you're an adult, the one you never got. You can find out that that fantasy you have is perfectly normal, because, look!, other people fantasize about the same thing. You can learn how to use contraception and, if it's hard to come by where you live, perhaps where to get it. You can learn how to have better sex, how to treat your partner better and with more respect, how to bring more pleasure into your body. You can learn about sex toys and how to use them - and choose them. And, perhaps most importantly, you can figure out how to have the kind of sex you want to have, starting with what that might mean for you. When it comes to sex, getting good information online may not be brand new, but something is definitely happening here in the sense that the information available is more readily available, of higher quality and easier to find.
Our point? We think sex blogs (and bloggers!) have a lot to do with that shift. And, over the five years we've been running our Sex Blogging Superheroes contest, we've seen a huge growth in the number, diversity and overall quality of these blogs. We think that matters, because the internet - and the world - needs those voices. Each and every one of them. In fact, the goal behind this contest has always been to make it a little easier for other people to find them by highlighting some of the best. And, guys, reading all these blogs is such a pleasure and an honor for us at Kinkly. (Um .. and may we also say that it's a blast?) We really appreciate the work bloggers do and we love being able to read and share it.

Oh, and about all that celebrating. This year's contest sponsor, Loveology University, has given us a lot to celebrate. In addtion to being great partners - and even better advocates and promoters of our Superheroes, they are also offering some pretty sweet prizes we think our contest winners will be really excited about. In case you don't know, Loveology University (LU) is an online love coach training school that has trained and certified thousands of aspiring coaches worldwide. It was founded by Dr. Ava Cadell who is a big-time superhero in the sex education field herself. We've had a blast working with her and her team, and we hope you'll check out the educational programs they have to offer at the link below.
OK. So ... enough mushy stuff, right? Let's take a look at this year's categories - and prizes!
Categories and Prizes for 2017
For the last couple of years, we've broken out some additional categories to help better highlight bloggers who might not make the top 100 or get as much attention. We think of it as one more way to spread the love around a bit. This year's categories are as follows:
Overall Winner
The grand prize goes to the No.1 spot on the top 100 list; this is a superhero blogger who writes well, writes often and stands for all things sex positive. In order to win, they also need a serious fan base, because this placement is determined by a combination of reader votes and other criteria posted here. This year, our top Superhero will receive a Love Coach scholarship from Loveology University worth $2,500, a feature on Sexpert.com and $500 cash from Kinkly!
The Reader's Choice Award
This award is handed out based on readers' votes. Whichever blog racks up the most reader love wins a Love Coach scholarship worth $2,500 and a feature on Sexpert.com.
Top New Sex Blogs of 2017
This category is for blogs that are new to the scene and did not appear in last year's top 100. This year, the top new blog will receive a Relationship Expert scholarship worth $500!
Top Sex Toy Review Blogs of 2017
This category celebrates the top blogs for sex toy reviews. The winner of this category will receive a Master Sexpert scholarship from Loveology University worth $1,250.
Top Erotica Blogs of 2017
This category will honor the top blogs for sexy erotic fiction. The top blog in this category will receive a choice of 3 products from Ava Cadell.
Top Sex Blogs for/by Men of 2017
This category will shine some light on a growing - but often underrepresented - segment of sex bloggers. The winner of this category will receive a feature article on Kinkly.com and a feature on Sexpert.com.
Also note that each and every blog in the top 100 will receive a special discount to all of Loveology University's exclusive programs, just for taking part in our contest.
So now, without further ado, here are Kinkly's Sex Blogging Superheroes of 2017.
