In honor of this hot summer week that celebrates our freedom, we wanted you to tell us a hot summer story that celebrates your sexual freedom. Submit your story in 500 words or less about some summer sexcapade via our contact form (choose “Contest entry” from the drop down window) by the end of Sunday, July 14th (EXTENDED CONTEST DEADLINE UNTIL 7/14/13. 11:59pm, PT).

Be sure to include the email address where we can reach you. (You must be 18 or over with a mailing address in the continental US to enter.)  Then we’ll pick the best — and by “best” we mean “funniest, sexiest, kinkiest, most awkward, most endearing AND/OR most romantic.” Bonus points if it sounds legit to us. Penthouse Forum-style entries will be automatically disqualified.

We’ll feature the winning story in a post on the site and send you a copy of our latest (and greatest) award-winning book, 150 SHADES OF PLAY: A Beginner’s Guide to Kink. (Though if you win, the book will probably be just a brush up for you.)

Good luck and happy fireworks!
