Many people enjoy watching erotic films, but that's far from the only way to enjoy some sexy time.
Another way to enjoy some private pleasure is by reading erotic comic books.
And, it seems that many people are indulging in reading adult erotic comics since the industry recently jumped by about 30%.
Though erotic comic books have grown in popularity in recent years, they’re not a new venture, by any means.
Drawn erotic literature has existed since the BCE era, but it rolled into the comic format around the early 20th century.
Harsh criticism and censorship laws have laid a roadblock in the way for many aspiring erotic comic artists, but fortunately, many shining examples of excellent erotic comics have emerged in spite of everything.
And fortunately, nowadays, we have the right to read, view and consume whatever we want as long as it does not contain underage material.
And hell do we enjoy that! So hang on, make yourself comfortable and learn which 15 Erotic Comic Books you not only have to check out, but you should read them entirely!

Dive into the steamy pleasure of Erotic Comic Books - here are the Best
Little Annie Fannie is a book that's drawn by Will Elder and follows a naive yet optimistic young girl named Fanny. The protagonist seems to always end up in silly situations where she finds herself naked.
The comic strip ran for more than twenty years and created a unique sexual story that many people loved.
And, while it might not have been Elder's best work, it was a fun and sexy read for anyone who wanted to have some comic book sex.
Phil Foglio was the master behind XXXenophile and was a series of different sex stories with a hint of humor.
The series is positive and fun, which is a nice contrast to many of the more problematic sex stories you'll find out there.
One of the best aspects of the story is that they read more like love adventures than pure pornography. Even though many of the stories are quite bizarre and kinky, they have a romantic and adorable vibe to them.
Another great feature of the XXXenophile series is that they don't just focus on a heterosexual experience. You'll find a few gay erotic stories within the series, making it one of the more inclusive comics on this list.
When Black Kiss first hit the adult comic book scene it was viewed as a fairly controversial series.
The reason was that it fully depicted both sex and violence, which wasn't normal for comic books at the time it was published in the late 1980s.
Despite its graphic nature, the story is quite gripping, following a jazz musician who is on the run after false murder accusations. What he ends up doing is locating a historic porno from the Vatican in order to create an alibi for himself.
However, the film turns out to be involved in ritualistic horror acts, leading many groups to seek it out. The poor musician finds himself caught in the middle of the situation.
Sunstone is an erotic graphic novel series by artist and author Stjepan Sejic.
It follows the main characters, Ally and Lisa, through their exploration of BDSM.
Originally, the pair meet online, where they discuss various fantasies and ideas. Eventually, they meet in person to bring those fantasies to life.
On top of being BDSM-focused, the series is also quite romantic and has moments where it’s even cute. The story balances covering everyday relationships and the issues that come up during their formation and the more steamy elements of sexual exploration.
Sparks fly after Ally and Lisa meet, and they both want to deepen what they’ve started, which is how the series continues.
For being a lesbian BDSM series, it’s not extremely x-rated but it’s not lacking in eroticism.
The second volume delves more into the meaning of the pair’s relationship, as Ally and Lisa decide to move in together, and weigh the pros and cons of announcing themselves an “official” couple.
Chuck Austen wrote the comic book series Strips which stars Zack Mackinerny and his sexual misadventures on his college campus.
It also features a girl named Kenna English, who is crazy about Zack but can never get him to notice her.
In the book, Zack is a bit of a jerk but he can be charming at times while Kenna is quite engaging. This is one of the more popular erotic stories for women since it features both a strong female character and a male protagonist.
The only downside to this comic series is that it ended on a cliffhanger. If you pick up this comic series you might have to use your imagination to figure out how it ends.
Birdland is a pornographic mini-series that features a married lawyer who gets into an affair with not one but two different strippers. At the same time, his hypnotist wife begins having sex with her patients.
While all this is going on, the lawyer's sister-in-law becomes obsessed with him while his brother becomes obsessed with his wife. The whole plot gets very intertangled with all the main characters being drawn to one another.
What's really strange about this comic, however, is that in the middle of the series, a group of aliens abduct all the characters. The series then ends with kinky sex taking place with the group, aliens, dinosaurs, and more.
Small Favors is a series that was published by the same company that produced Birdland. However, this series is a little bit more normal.
In the series, a woman named Annie and her shapeshifting sprite, Nibbil, go on several different adventures.
Nibbil is supposed to stop Annie from touching herself or fantasizing all the time but ends up joining Annie in her sexual adventures.
Small Favors is certainly pornographic, but it's a wonderfully upbeat, sex-positive, and adorable adult comic. It's a romance between Nibbil and Annie, with the final issue of the comic becoming a truly romantic story.

If you love superheroes and enjoy adult comics, you may want to check out The Pro.
This book's author, Garth Ennis, isn't a fan of superhero comics but created a fun, sexy spoof of the comics when he wrote The Pro.
In this story, the Viewer gives a prostitute powers to see if she becomes a superhero.
What ends up happening, however, is that she uses her special powers to get sex and to break down preconceived notions of sex in her fellow superheroes.
While the comic has a fairly satirical feel to it, it's also quite a sexy read. You'll love the graphic imagery for getting you (and your partner) in the mood.
If you're looking for gay erotic books then you've got to check out Sticky.
This comic follows several different sexual adventures but doesn't have any dialogue included in it, making it great for international audiences.
In this book, you'll get to enjoy four different short stories that will put you in the mood. They're entertaining and quick reads for the adult graphic novel enthusiast.
The short stories follow men who meet up in various, strange circumstances. For example, in one a cowboy winds up on a talk show and ends up heading to the security guard's house afterward for a night of fun.
The Lost Girls comic series began back in 1991, but the author didn't actually release the majority of the book until 2006.
The book is the work of Alan Moore and his wife, Melinda Gebbie, and stars Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy from your favorite classic kids' books.
In this comic book, the three girls meet in Austria at a hotel resort right before the beginning of World War 1. The characters are of various ages in the story, with Alice being the oldest and the other two significantly younger.
When the three meet, they begin discussing the various sexual adventures they had in their original books. They also explore the hotel together, having sexual experiences with other guests staying in the hotel.
Readers with a soft spot for Greek Mythology might like this one, as it explores the relationship between Hades, the God of the Underworld, and his wife, Persephone.
In addition to being an erotic graphic novel, Allison Shaw’s story attempts to look at the original Greek legend in a different light. While the original story states that Hades kidnapped Demeter’s daughter to keep as a wife in the underworld, this version puts Persephone in control.
To escape her mother’s control, Persephone takes advantage of an opportunity when she happens upon Hades by chance. When he brings her to the Underworld with him, she’s far from afraid and miserable. Instead, she’s interested in “tormenting” Hades.
This graphic novel explores desire and how it develops between an unlikely pair into what could be considered one of the healthiest (yet most erotic) pairings in Greek Mythology.
Chester 5000 is an inventive story that's unlike any other you'll find. This story follows a woman named Priscilla who is sexually insatiable and is living during the time of the Industrial Revolution.
Since her husband, Robert, can't seem to satisfy his wife, he builds her a sex robot that he names Chester 5000. However, it turns out that he built the robot too well and the robot quickly falls in love with his wife.
When Priscilla experiences the doting behavior and fantastic sex Chester has to offer, she too falls in love!
In vain, Robert tries to separate the two lovers. However, he eventually decides to let the two stick together and ends up falling in love with a different woman in the story.
This comic is one of the most inventive when it comes to graphic scenes, making for a fun and engaging adult comic. Chester has unique attachments that really get your imagination going when reading the story - or just Comic Book Sex at its Best!

Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky put together the marvelous comic series Sex Criminals which is all about a duo named Suzie and John.
The two characters venture into the world of sex crime, but in a very different way than you might think.
Suzie is a character who can freeze time and space in a burst of colors every time she has sex. And, she discovers when she meets John, John has the same superpower.
The pair decide that they can use their unique superpower to freeze time so that they can rob a bank. Then, they'll use the money to help fund Suzie's library which is in desperate need of money.
What the two don't count on, however, is that a group called the sex police goes on a mission to stop them. This group of people have similar powers to Suzie and John and work hard to stop their robbery.
The Discipline is a book that's a little different from the others on this list in that it's not exclusively about sex.
In fact, it originally wasn't intended as an erotic novel at all!
This story walks through the tale of a young girl who gets pulled into a magical underworld battle. The battle rages between the evil Stalkers and the Discipline.
Now, the young girl is someone who grew up in a problematic background but managed to make her way to the upper-class Manhattan scene. In this new world, she transitions into a magical form and begins having a bunch of sex with characters throughout the series.
Because this book has a plot that's not focused on sex, it's quite a fun and engaging read. It's a great choice for anyone who's only just getting into the world of erotic fiction.
