Shemale Art and Artists

A survey of shemale art, including doujinshi, or fan art, discloses the following recurring themes and motifs:

Exaggerated penis size, especially in regard to hermaphrodites with penises longer than those of their male lovers

Interest in fashion (especially punk styles) and lingerie on the part of shemale characters

Copious ejaculations of semen

Bondage and discipline acivities

Fondness for fellatio, including autofellatio

Science fiction and fantasy backgrounds and costumes

Depictions of shemales as angels or demons

Masturbation and the use of sex toys

Deptiction of shemales as warriors

Group sex

Displays of erect penises

Especially in the United States, shemale art was initially an adjunct to the pornographic photographs and videos that web sites offered members who paid to subscribe to their "clubs" or "online magazines." However, this art soon became a sought-after commodity in its own right, with the result that artists set up their own web sites to display and sell their works of shemale art.
