starsSexReally.com Launches

SexReally Logo_sm.jpg
I am happy to announce the public launch of SexReally.com this week. SexReally is a destination for 20-somethings focused on relationships, love, sex, contraception, pregnancy, and related issues.  Sponsored by The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, the site is a place where young people can tell their stories and discuss relationships in an effort to reduce the rate of unplanned pregnancy (seventy percent of pregnancies to unmarried women in their 20s are unplanned).  A press release was sent out on PR Web on Monday.

Special thanks go to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Laura Sessions Stepp and producer Melissa Allison who have put together six episodes of the flagship podcast series (also available on iTunes) starting with "Starting a Relationship with Sex: Running the Bases Backwards."  I think it is extraordinary to hear the voices of 20-somethings talk about relationships, love, and sex.  I know I can't stop listening.

Of course, today is only a beginning.  We will continue working on developing more episodes of the podcast series and working with other contributors to the site; "The Crazy Stories People Tell Stefanie" will be a regular feature, where Stefanie will add her unique 20-something voice to the blog (don't miss her first story, The Dog Ate My NuvaRing).  In the upcoming months you can expect to see a game, a blog roll, and a special syndication of Planned Parenthood's My Method contraception selector.

I am also happy to announce that we are in the process of producing four more comedies with Campaign friend Danny Rouhier and Third Floor productions, which can also be seen on the SexReally YouTube channel.  The first three exceeded our expectations, gathering over 100,000 views.

So, please join us.  Listen to the podcasts and take part in the conversation.  We can't wait to hear from you!
