What’s new
Do we have to beg … ?
23rd October 2024
Very many thanks to the 21 donors who has so far given £185 for the 600 Artists appeal, but we really do need a lot more than that to keep everything afloat! Please donate whatever you can by PayPal at @honesterotica NOW. You know it makes sense and how much you value your favourite art website! Full details can be found on the honesterotica blog here.
All hands
23rd October 2024
Spanking art seems to be flavour of the month as we bring you a new portfolio by that master of the genre, Louis Malteste. Les mains chérie – Darling Hands – is his 1927 anthology of twelve first-hand ‘confessions’; you can see all his drawings for it by clicking here.
Holding the whip hand
22nd October 2024
Following the enigmatic Berlin artist Helga Bode a few days ago, we now bring you the almost equally impenetrable Richard Hegemann, with his 1920s drawings of whips and female domination. We’ve collected everything we can find attributed to him, which you can see by clicking here.
Skin in the game
20th October 2024
Today’s new artist is the groundbreaking American feminist painter Joan Semmel, who for more than half a century has been reclaiming a woman’s right to her own body and her own experience of sexuality. See a great selection of her important work now by clicking here.
You want us, we need you!

Come on folks, we’re not asking much, don’t delay, donate NOW! For details of how to donate click here – we can’t do it all on our own!
Brand spanking
18th October 2024
Today’s new artist, Helga Bode, maybe never actually existed except in the imagination of afficionados of 1930s German spanking and enema art. See Helga’s work now by clicking here, and make up your own mind.
It’s a queer world
15th October 2024
And so on to our 601st artist, the enormously imaginative and talented Mexican-American Félix d’Eon, bringing the queer world to life in every possible style. See an enormous selection of his wonderful work now by clicking here.

Another milestone achieved – honesterotica now features 600 artists!
