Six Sites For Selling NSFW Artworks and Prints (Without Getting Outright Banned)

#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 don’t have a printer, or dislike shipping NSFW art merch like me.

PoD sites allow you to print your design on a lot of different products. Check out my store, for example

Society6

Allowed Content: Explicit content, nudity and uncensored art 🟢

Can someone identify the font used for the "Society6" Logo - Imgur

Though Society6’s ToS state that pornographic content is prohibited, it seems like that’s no longer being reinforced. There are a number of NSFW works, from nude pin-ups to uncensored lady parts.

I noticed there’s no sex, or if there is, the dick isn’t shown. That might be one of the things they curate.

Redbubble

Allowed Content: Mature Artwork, no Explicit 🟡

Redbubble doesn’t allow art that show genitalia, nipples, or sexual acts. However, you can upload risqué 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 you’ve 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 🟢

Online Self-Publishing Book & Ebook Company | Lulu

Lulu allows you to print NSFW art as long as you don’t 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 “My Neighbor the Magus” through Lulu. The comic features sexual content, so your doujin or art book should be fine as well.

Blurb

Allowed Content: Case to case 🔴

Blurb, Inc. - Wikipedia

Blurb is another book printing PoD. According to their general info, they don’t monitor for adult content. However, their print partners might refuse to print it.

Jessedictor on Reddit said they slipped NSFW things past Blurb, but didn’t 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 Blurb’s return policy doesn’t cover what happens if their partner refuses to print. I’d only print here if it’s an art book or ‘appreciative’, 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 🟡

Storenvy prohibits sexual content and nudity. Fortunately, it seems like they’re 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 🟢

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.

Gumroad’s 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.

    1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    1. 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!

  4. Gabriella Ramos-Lugo

    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.

    1. 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!

  5. 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.

    1. 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.

  6. Before any questions, I´m loving your website. Is been very helpful especially because I´m want to be a full-time artist and see myself being an NSFW artist too.

    It´s a good idea to have my own website like this https://www.highkeysakimi.com/, to sell art books, posters, shirts, etc. and I´m also thinking to make a website to post my art (like Sabu) and create an account on hentai-foundry

  7. Before any questions, I love your blog, especially because I´m 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.

    1. 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.
