One of the age-old struggles of being an NSFW artist is finding a platform that allows adult art. Itโs even harder to find a place to sell NSFW art products like art prints and magazines.
It's hard finding places to sell NSFW prints, so we've compiled websites that allow you to do just that! Click To TweetFortunately, there are a number of sites available. Iโve compiled them below for you, along with their ranking for allowed NSFW content. Enjoy!
NSFW Level: ๐ข Explicit OK, ๐ก Mature/Risque Only, ๐ด Case to Case
Table of Contents
#1) Print on Demand for NSFW Art Merch
– Society6 ๐ข
– Redbubble ๐ก
#2) Print on Demand for Artbooks, Magazines, and Doujins

– Blurb ๐ด
#3) Online Shop Platforms

– Gumroad ๐ข
Conclusion
#1) Print on Demand Sites for NSFW Art Merch
PoD sites print and ship your unique designs, at a fee. They print on dozens of products including:
- Stickers
- Mugs
- Cards
- Canvas Prints
- Clothes
- And more
This is a great option if you donโt have a printer, or dislike shipping NSFW art merch like me.
Society6
Allowed Content: Explicit content, nudity and uncensored art ๐ข
Though Society6โs ToS state that pornographic content is prohibited, it seems like thatโs no longer being reinforced. There are a number of NSFW works, from nude pin-ups to uncensored lady parts.
I noticed thereโs no sex, or if there is, the dick isnโt shown. That might be one of the things they curate.
Redbubble
Allowed Content: Mature Artwork, no Explicit ๐ก
Redbubble doesnโt allow art that show genitalia, nipples, or sexual acts. However, you can upload risquรฉ or pin-up art, as long as you mark it as mature.
I use Redbubble, and all of my buyers have been happy with the quality.
#2) Print on Demand for Artbooks, Magazines, and Doujins
If youโve compiled all your art into an art book, or made a doujin you want printed, check out the options below.
Lulu
Allowed Content: Explicit, sexual content ๐ข
Lulu allows you to print NSFW art as long as you donโt list your book on their marketplace. You can select a product (e.g., photo book, magazine, comic book), and have them print and ship it to you.

Tsukiyono prints their comic โMy Neighbor the Magusโ through Lulu. The comic features sexual content, so your doujin or art book should be fine as well.
Blurb
Allowed Content: Case to case ๐ด
Blurb is another book printing PoD. According to their general info, they donโt monitor for adult content. However, their print partners might refuse to print it.
Jessedictor on Reddit said they slipped NSFW things past Blurb, but didnโt elaborate further. There is also an explicit hentai artbook on Blurb, among tons of 18+ photography books.
It seems like a bit of hit and miss, and Blurbโs return policy doesnโt cover what happens if their partner refuses to print. Iโd only print here if itโs an art book or โappreciativeโ, not a doujin.

#3) Online Shop Platforms
If you already have physical or digital products in your inventory, or produce them yourself, you can set up shop at these NSFW-friendly e-Commerce platforms.
Storenvy
Allowed Content: Mature/Risque Only ๐ก
Storenvy prohibits sexual content and nudity. Fortunately, it seems like theyโre pretty relaxed with what you can get away with.
EU03 sells artbooks and prints on Storenvy, though you could also offer digital downloads.
Gumroad
Allowed Content: Explicit and Full on Nudity ๐ข
Gumroad is the go to for product selling online, especially digital. A lot of NSFW artists use it to sell their Patreon term rewards, including sakimichan.
Gumroadโs terms state they allow artwork pornography, but not IRL pornography. So go wild!
Conclusion
Though they allow varying levels of NSFW, these sites will leave you alone as you create and sell your artwork.
To recap, here’s a table that summarizes the platforms.
Site | For | NSFW Level | Examples |
Society6 | Print on Demand for Merch and Products | ๐ข Explicit OK | Kittew |
Redbubble | ^^^ | ๐ก Mature Only | DDxDD |
Lulu | Print on Demand for Books and Magazines | ๐ข Explicit OK | Tsukiyono |
Blurb | ^^^ | ๐ด Case to Case | – |
Storenvy | e-Commerce platform for products | ๐ก Mature Only | EU03 |
Gumroad | ^^^ | ๐ข Explicit OK | Sakimichan |
I hope the info helped you! Which of these sites will you be using to sell your own NSFW art?

What exactly is meant by “case to case?” Will they accept one nude drawing but not another?
Hey Nick,
I labelled Blurb as “case to case” because Blurb accepts NSFW (or at least doesn’t moderate what you print). However, their printing partners might refuse to print the content.
That said, Tuan Hollaback’s “It’s Called Hentai And It’s Art” got printed through Blurb, so it seems like they’re chill with explicit content. Just can’t guarantee it.
Hope that helps
Actually I sell digital download manga in Gumroad. For real is been difficult to choose platforms where to expand the own merch.
apart than freelancer commissions I had it hard to find more ways to sell. But your information and tips might help a lot.
I really thank you for posting all this.
Glad to hear the article was helpful for you! Good luck with your projects ๐คฉ
a1fans.com allows for nsfw in general, am sure that they would also allow artwork images rather than just photos/videos of the content creators.
Haven’t heard of a1fans, though I know some artists use onlyfans in that way, too. Let me know if you plan to use it!
Me and my husband does a small art business through fb and discord with friends and a variety customers, which we normally get nsfw commissions. Which website can sell our merch for us if our customers wants merch? I must know.
Hi Gabriella,
First, what kind of merch are you planning to sell? It would depend if the site you’re planning to use would allow NSFW, and how you would get that merch made in the first place. Lots to consider.
Feel free to email me with more details!
Helpful list, I’m currently looking for to sell some lewd merch and so far Etsy and Redbubble seem decent choices. Just checked on “society6” and haven’t seen similar merch of what I’m looking for sell nor Kittew’s shop is open, considering this post is 1+ year old I wouldn’t be surprised if they changed the ToS along the way.
Only thing I’m not fan of Redbubble is the plague of stolen art, but the good thing is that you don’t have to worry much about printing and shipping merch just like you do on Etsy.
Cheers, glad you found it useful. Hmm perhaps they have changed their ToS, I’ll have to check that out.
Yeah, Redbubble’s pretty decent for getting started. That said, their quality is mid and the income is pretty meh haha. You might have more luck starting there, and then transitioning to ordering stickers online and shipping it yourself to keep more revenue.
Before any questions, Iยดm loving your website. Is been very helpful especially because Iยดm want to be a full-time artist and see myself being an NSFW artist too.
Itยดs a good idea to have my own website like this https://www.highkeysakimi.com/, to sell art books, posters, shirts, etc. and Iยดm also thinking to make a website to post my art (like Sabu) and create an account on hentai-foundry
Before any questions, I love your blog, especially because Iยดm working to become a full-time artist and I see myself being an NSFW artist too.
Do you think that is a good idea to have my store like Sakimi Chan, https://www.highkeysakimi.com/, where I can sell my shirts, artwork, etc?
and I’m also thinking to make a website like Sabu and create an account on https://www.hentai-foundry.com/, too show my work.
Hey there! Thanks for reading.
Of course. Having your own platforms like a shop or website would be great, if you have the customers willing to buy. If you feel you do, why not.
Hiya. :3 I want to become an NSFW artist, however, my friend already alerted me about a nasty incident she had. People who are insecure about their sexuality sometimes commissioned her, and grabbed her legal name from PayPal, then doxxed her. Do you have any tips for hiding my real name? Maybe some platforms to pay for commissions like Ko-fi, but with adult content allowed? Ko-fi needs your legal name, but does not show it to customers, that’s something I’m looking for, but anything that gives me anonymity will help tbh.. ><
Sorry to hear about that! That’s really screwed up of those people to do.
Paypal Business requires legal name (they request documents like address and bills to crosscheck). Your idea with kofi does work, though you’ll have to be careful not to let it slip that you’re taking NSFW comms. There are also other commission sites like VGen that might hide that info as well, though I haven’t used it personally.
Best of luck!
Gumroad no longer allows NSFW – Their payment processors has vetoed those products & all explicit content has been removed from the catalogue.
