Meg Barker has triumphed in the Erotic Awards 2013

'Rewriting the Rules' won the award's Academic category

We are very glad to announce that Meg Barker has triumphed in the Erotic Awards 2013!

Rewriting the Rules, which explores the complicated and contradictory 'rules' of love in the 21st century, won the award's Academic category for its “high quality, sex-positive, inclusive and unique” approach.

The book challenges the more traditional views of love and discusses how there are diverse ways of being sexual and relating to others.

Receiving her award, Meg said: "I'm so grateful to all of the people and communities who have supported my work over the years and who have taken part in it for little direct reward.

"There is no way that I could have done all this without them, and that is why this award means the world to me.”

The Erotic Awards are an annual celebration of sexual creativity and diversity with the goal of helping society become more open-minded about sex and more accepting of sexual diversity.
