Erotic Review

Exploring Desire

Photography by Tom Miller

Started in London in 1995 as a photocopied newsletter about erotic art, the Erotic Review became a humorous bimonthly with 30,000 subscribers by the late 1990s. Over its varied history, the Erotic Review has published over 100 books, run an annual photography prize and had a short story collection published by Zeus. The title went solely online in 2010.

The Erotic Review was relaunched and reconceived for a contemporary audience in Spring 2024 by editor, Lucy Roeber, and Berlin-based deputy editor, Saskia Vogel. This new chapter recognised the need for a serious cultural platform that explored desire through essays, stories, poetry and art.

It came from a belief in our common humanity rather than the focus on a particular gender, sexuality or practise. In collaboration with Studio Frith, the Erotic Review is a printed object of desire within a beautifully designed world for a curious, open and global audience. By commissioning a different art curator for each issue and publishing work in translation, we are shifting the gaze beyond its former Anglo Saxon focus.
