FearlessPress.com is all about sex, gender, relationships, and communication so anything you write about should directly relate to those topics. Your article can be about almost anything that you would like to discuss as long as it is brought back to those over-arching topics. All articles should be original content (ie not posted elsewhere).
We look to our writers to provide an articulate perspective keeping a tone of positivity and constructive critique. The tone should be kept playful, accessible, and smart. We will not accept any ‘bashing’ style posts or articles with a heavily negative perspective or tone. It doesn’t mean you can’t have strong opinions or dis-agree with something, but keep your arguments respectful rather than insulting.
Our readers are made up people of all ages (18-65+) from a wide variety of backgrounds and sexual orientations (straight, bi, gay, poly, kinky, queer, swingers, etc.) which we want to accurately represent. A main focus is to present each of these perspectives as normal, acceptable, and equal (because they are!).
