Your all-time favourites

So, honesterotica is very nearly two years old, and already we’ve welcomed nearly 80,000 unique visitors, who collectively have viewed over 4 million images. Not bad eh?

We thought you might like to know what you and your fellow visitors have found most attractive during the time we’ve been going. Why not revisit them and see if you agree?

Of our thousand or so portfolios, by far the most often visited are:

• the 1865 anonymous portfolio Nuditäten (http://www.honesterotica.com/portfolios/682)
• Loïc Dubigeon’s illustrations for The Story of O (http://www.honesterotica.com/portfolios/550)
• Suzanne Ballivet’s wonderful illustrations for Initiation amoureuse, one of the original inspirations for the whole website (http://www.honesterotica.com/portfolios/391)
• Lynn Paula Russell’s illustrations for the classic erotic novel Beatrice (http://www.honesterotica.com/portfolios/281)

And your favourite erotic artists? Interestingly the top five – Lynn Paula Russell, Paul-Emile Bécat, Suzanne Ballivet, Loïc Dubigeon and Martin van Maele – are way out in front of all the rest. When we included Lynn Paula Russell (formerly the erotic actor Paula Meadows) we had no idea that she was still so popular; she is certainly very special in terms of her erotic imagination and artistic talent. And good to have two women in the top five – we’ve always know that women are just as good at men when it comes to honest erotic imagination!

However long you’ve spent exploring the riches to be found on the website, there’s always more! We shall keep putting up new material as we find it – and as you tell us about it. And if you’re a talented erotic artist with a portfolio you’d like us to think about including, don’t hesitate to let us know.

Looking forward to the next two years!
