Looking forward

3rd January 2024

A very happy new year to all our wonderful followers, still here despite all efforts to kill Twitter/X 😘 Lots of new artists and artworks to come in 2024; seems to be no shortage of material out there, much discovered with the help of our inquisitive and sharp-eyed friends! Keep up the good work …

An eye for detail

29th December 2023

The imaginative eighteenth century French architect Jean-Jacques Lequeu was way ahead of his time with his fantasy buildings – and with his fascination with sexual anatomy. You can see and be inspired by all his previously ‘forbidden’ work now by clicking here.

Deviant virtues …

25th December 2023

A special Christmas Day treat for you all – the only truly erotic portfolio of Régis Loisel, one of France’s favourite comic strip artists. Troubles Fêtes (Deviant Virtues) offers three stories in one volume, what a treat! See Loisel’s work now by clicking here.

Joy and longing

18th December 2023

The American Hugh Steers chronicled the period in the 1980s and 90s when newly-found gay freedom was overtaken by the tragedy of AIDS. In paintings suffused with longing, fear and eroticism, Steers captures moments of intense emotion – see them now by clicking here.

Chastisements

16th December 2023

We’re back, with an anonymous 1904 set of illustrations for the notably unwoke (but maybe not so unlikely) Memoirs of Dolly Morton, set in the American South in the mid-nineteenth century. One of the earliest spanking narratives, see Dolly now by clicking here.

Ouch!

13th December 2023

You may have noticed the absence of posts for a few days, well … Rosie was taking the heaviest book (just over 25Kg) in the honesterotica collection off a top shelf, Fini’s Petites Filles Modèles, when it fell on her and fractured a rib. Divine justice? Anyway, healing now and back very soon!

How to keep warm

2nd December 2023

To Sweden today, and the stylish robust linocuts to accompany a classic collection of erotic Scandinavian folk tales, created by the uniquely talented artist Svenolov Ehrén. See them all now by clicking here.

Ooh la la!

1st December 2023

Another talented and original French graphic novel illustrator for you today – Emmanuel Murzeau and his versions of Les Aphrodites and L’Académie des Dames. A knowledge of French helps, but is not essential to appreciate his art! See his work now by clicking here.

By the book

25th November 2023

Ex Libris or bookplates are a very popular miniature form of erotic art, with an international following of connoisseur collectors. Today’s new artist, the Belgian Hedwig Pauwels, is a master of the form, and you can see a selection of his work now by clicking here.

Transgressive fantasies

21st November 2023

‘Bernardo Muñoz is truly a great artist, and Déviances is probably the best erotic comic of the last twenty years.’ So writes fellow comic writer Hernàn Migoya, and we agree! See Déviances now by clicking here, and be impressed.
