Erotic greats honored by flying dicks  Then, in 1996, the Sex Maniac's Ball got busted and the Sexual Freedom Coalition was born. As usual, the personal got political. However, this wasn't the end of the trials and tribulations. In 2000, Hollywood (obviously threatened by how close the two awards were to each other) asked for the name to be changed. The Erotic Awards, as we know and love them today, were born.Categories for The Erotic Awards include Campaigner for Sexual Freedom, Sex Worker, Sex Toy, Striptease Artist, Fashion Design, Hardcore Video, Documentary, Feature Film, and many more. Nominations come from the public. People can vote on the Erotic Awards website and by brochure. The finalists were then selected by a "Grand Jury for Conspicuous Sexuality," based on who most pushed the boundaries of sexual expression.  The proceeds from this year's awards benefit Outsiders Trust—an organization dedicated to helping disabled people find partners. Outsiders was founded by Tuppy Owens in 1971 and has helped many disabled Britons find love. Owens is also the curator of the erotic awards.The three finalists in each category are exhibited at The Sex Maniac's Ball, where the work is exhibited and performed. The winners are announced that night by previous winners and celebrities from various sexual spheres. We asked our editor, Cara Bruce, to look through the some of the nominees and give her opinion. Below are some of her picks for winners for this year's Erotic Awards. One of my favorite writers is being honored this year. Maxim Jakubowski is, in my opinion, one of the greatest erotic writers and editors working today. Maxim edits many of the Mammoth Books. Besides being nominated for Best Erotic Writer of the Year, his book The Mammoth Book of Erotic Photography co-edited with Marilyn Jaye-Lewis (another one of my absolute favorites) is also nominated as Best Erotic Book.  Rockbitch. I've never seen them, but they are hot, talented women who don't take shit from anyone. And that makes them winners in my book.And the Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women 2 by Tristan Taormino. Tristan is a goddess. She is the undisputed queen of anal sex and reigning queen of erotica of New York. You must check out her latest book True Lust (Cleis Press). Rub My Duckie. Vibrating children's toys are always good, just look to Harry Potter's bestselling broomstick. And … it floats! But in my opinion, the best part about The Erotic Awards is the trophy. It's a colorful dick with wings. I used to have a row of dildos on my fireplace mantel, but a flying dick? Is anything better?
