Nerve

Nerve was an online magazine founded in 1997 by Rufus Griscom and Genevieve Field in New York City. The magazine originally focused on sex and relationships, with a humorous and irreverent tone. Its articles covered various topics related to sex and love, including personal essays, interviews, and sex advice columns.

Over time, the magazine expanded its focus to include commentary on broader issues related to culture, politics, and technology. Nerve also published a number of books, including the anthology, "The Best of Nerve.com".

In 2008, the magazine was sold to BermanBraun, a media company founded by former Yahoo! executives, and later to IAC, a conglomerate that also owns other online media outlets like Vimeo and The Daily Beast. Following the acquisition, Nerve underwent a significant redesign and relaunched in 2009 as a more diverse and mainstream publication.

The magazine continued to publish content until 2017 when it ceased operations after almost 20 years of operation. In its time, Nerve published work from a wide range of writers, including notable names such as Dan Savage, Roxane Gay, and Chuck Klosterman.{{Categories}}
