Gasp Magazine MATURE CONTENT

About

Gasp Magazine is a platform for multifaceted discussions on sexuality and its discontents.

Liberal or conservative positions seem equally inadequate to us in understanding the complexity of subjective experiences. Instead, we opt for a sex-critical approach that frames them in the contexts of sexual politics, cultural ambivalence, and the strange joys of transgression. We deliberately focus on sex work, queer life, and feminist reflections on sexuality.

We strive to build a community where experts and readers alike can express their perspectives. On our platform you will find research on queer history, psychology and psychoanalysis, essays, poetry, and artworks. We also organize sexuality education events and release limited editions of printed merchandise.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
