Statistics, statistics
It’s always interesting to know what our followers find the most interesting on the website, which now has 615 artists, 1,715 portfolios, and 51,305 artworks. Yes, by far the largest resource for erotic art and illustration on the internet, if not in the world!
If you just spent five seconds with each image, it would still take you more than 700 hours – nearly a month without sleeping and eating – to explore the whole site. And that’s not counting time to read all the fascinating biographies and portfolio descriptions.
Like we say, always more …

Many of these artists have not been on the site for the full five years, so may well catch up, and it’s interesting to see that artists beginning with A, B and C tend to come quite high on the list, which suggests that many new visitors start at the beginning of the Illustrators page and are still working their way through the alphabet!
