is taking its campaign to the internet as part of the push, and will also be advertising in swing states.
On the group's website, people can sign up to three levels of pledge and register details of election day parties, to increase the chances of pledge-takers meeting up with other voters.
In a move that is bound to have proponents of the abstinence movement True Love Waits up in arms, the most committed level will see the pledgee promise to have sex with a voter on election night and withhold sex from non-voters for the next four years.
Ads for Votergasm will appear in student papers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Florida, Colorado, Michigan, Iowa and Missouri.
Michelle Collins, spokeswoman for the organisation, said: "Voting is hot. And young voters are hot for each other. Votergasm.org is a way to channel our generation's patriotism into sex and vice versa. Election Day should be an erotic national youth festival, an orgy of democracy and civic participation."
Votergasm describes itself as a non-partisan, non-profit campaign formed to reverse two trends in American society: low voting rates among young people, and unacceptably low rates of youth sexual activity. The Brooklyn-based organisation is hoping to send 100,000 first-time 18- to 25-year-old voters to polls for the 2004 elections.
People can also register to vote at the site.
