What’s new
Skin in the game
17th May 2023
Eclectic, prolific, imaginative, talented – that’s today’s new artist, Anthony Christian, whose career spans more than half a century. We bring you an enormous collection of his explicitly erotic work by clicking here. Lots to see and enjoy!
Bacchanalia
14th May 2023
By popular demand, today we bring you the sexy nymphs and satyrs of Mark Blanton’s Satyromania. Sadly we learned recently that Mark is no longer with us, but his art lives on – see it all now by clicking here.
Telling tales
13th May 2023
Jean Traynier’s first erotic commission came in 1945, when he was asked to illustrate a privately-published edition of La Fontaine’s more risqué tales, Le tableau suivi d’autres contes (The Painting, together with Other Tales). Now you can see them all by clicking here.
Behind closed shutters
12th May 2023
We’re back, with lots of new artwork to share in the coming months! We start with Volets clos (Closed Shutters), a remarkable anonymous French portfolio of explicit etchings from 1933. You thought kink was a recent invention? Think again. See them all by clicking here.
A short intermission …
19th April 2023
Letting you know that Rosie and #honesterotica are taking a well-earned three week break, as we’re welcoming an old flame from the US of A to Britain for her very first visit to our lovely country (and she’s no spring chicken!). We’ll be back mid-May with some great new artists …
Missing pussy …
18th April 2023
What does a poet do when called up for war and madly missing his new lover? If it’s Guillaume Apollinaire, you write passionate sexy poems to the object of your obsession, and half a century later have them illustrated by a great artist who understands – see this new Vertès portfolio now by clicking here.
The pleasures of submission
16th April 2023
A new portfolio today from Fernand Dantan, disguised as ‘F. Dannat’, for Thérèse, a 1963 first-person submission narrative by the French libertine feminist novelist Régine Desforges, also under a pseudonym. Yes, (relatively) consensual BDSM was alive even then – see his drawings now by clicking here.
Love letters
14th April 2023
Today’s new artist is the Romanian Marcel Chirnoagă, with his powerful etchings ‘Erotic Mythology’. As he said of his work, art should be like a love letter, seductive and convincing. Judge for yourself by clicking here.
Bawdy stories
11th April 2023
Dino Attanasio is one of the great Italian-Belgian cartoonists, and today we bring you his only (and very successful) risqué work, an interpretation of seven of Boccaccio’s most bawdy tales from the Decameron. See and savour them now by clicking here.
Cocksure
9th April 2023
By chance – or fate – today’s new artist also specialised in tarot decks. We bring you Amerigo Folchi’s Gardens of Priapus cards, all 78 of them; amazing what you can do with wands and cups! See them all now by clicking here.
