The artist known as Alphachanneling uses Instagram to share a dreamy world of soft psychedelic sexuality where brilliant lotus flowers burst from the tips of candy-colored penises. The images are surreal and seductive, and tens of thousands of “likes” appear to agree.
But Alphachanneling worries each day may be their last on Instagram.
“This morning when I woke up, I saw yesterday’s post was removed,” they said. “I’ve had my account deleted before, and it has this feeling of a sandcastle that you keep building, but a wave can just erase it in the second.”
“There’s an irony to how perfect social media is for art,” Alphachanneling said. “But at the same time, it’s so precarious. One never knows if it’ll be there the next time they check their phone.”
Instagram’s community guidelines recognize that nudes can be “artistic or creative in nature” but says the content can still violate the platform’s policies. The grounds for removal are specific: “photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks.” Images of female nipples can also violate the platform’s guidelines, but photos of post-mastectomy scarring and women actively breastfeeding are allowed. Emily Cain, a spokeswoman for Instagram, added by email that, “Paintings and sculptures (art) that shows the same things would NOT violate our Community Guidelines.”
The process for removal often involves user-based reportage — users can flag content by clicking the three dots next to a post’s username and selecting “Report” — then an internal review committee will decide whether the content fits the guidelines. In the hands of the Instagram community, some artists feel vulnerable.
The erotic artists we spoke to say Instagram has expanded their reach, but the platform’s guidelines leave them never knowing what might lead to a post’s being removed, their account suspended, or worse, their Instagram existence deleted and purged forever.
“Nudity in paintings is okay to post on Instagram, but the problem is that even though I follow the Instagram guidelines, people can still report it if they feel provoked,” said Tina Maria Elena Bak, a watercolor artist from Odense, Denmark, who focuses on sensuality from a woman’s point of view. “I definitely worry but know I’m never violating any rules.”
Nikki Peck, an artist from Vancouver, tried to make her work Instagram-appropriate by creating a second account and placing bow and flower emoji over genitals and breasts. Still, her accounts have been deleted twice. “So I made my current account and cross my fingers. I’ve had a bunch of posts removed, and I know I’m always at risk.”
Peck sees her account as an exploration of the classic female nude with contemporary social commentary. While she’s been surprised by the pushback of both the platform and some of its users, she has accepted it as a sign of success. “Art should be bold, and it should create conversation and dialogue,” she says. “Otherwise, you’re just making comics.”
Noomi Roomi, a Moscow-based artist who paints ethereal wisps of figures participating in BDSM, says the only images that have been deleted from her page have been gay drawings or those depicting femdom, meaning a woman dominating sexual interaction. “I prefer to have people who admire diversity and are open-minded, as my art promotes equal rights and sexual freedom for everyone, as long as it is consensual.”
Roomi’s account has been deleted five times. After the second time, she added “subtle lines” to censor certain body parts and actions the platform forbids. In turn, she sought out other platforms such as Patreon and Telegram , which she considers “more open.”
“It is a disappointment, but it will never stop me,” she says. “I will re-upload it until they will erase me from the Internet.”
Millie Moonhouse (an artistic alias) of Toronto says she successfully appealed to Instagram when her account was deactivated. “I searched for the links to contact them and tell them it was wrongly deactivated,” she explained. “After reading the Instagram TOS, I can see why nudity and art can get confused and reported and deleted. I let them know it’s not pornography, it’s art.”
She also uses Tumblr , where the sexual-content guidelines are more inclusive. Artists can flag their account as NSFW (not safe for work) if they regularly post adult content, which shuffles them away from users who have noted they prefer not to see this type of material in their feeds.
Subconscious and conscious self-censoring also sometimes comes with the worry of being deleted or suspended.
After the account belonging to the anonymous Mexican artist EromaticaX was deleted, they “started to do things a little less explicitly and blocked body parts with hair or clothes.” EromaticaX’s work is undeniably 18+.
“I wish I could not worry about hiding what I want to draw. But as I only do one drawing a day, I spend a lot of time thinking: ‘Will this be something that gets taken down?’ ”
Still, for many, the erotic art outlet and community on Instagram has been a source of freedom and empowerment, especially for those who feel oppressed offline.
“Owning my own sexuality was something very new to me, and I view it as a luxury to be able to put my art out there,” said DarlingKink , an artist based in Manila. “Not a lot of women are afforded the space to be free to express what they want. For me, I’ve felt stronger as a woman.”

Instagram, with its nipple-hating overlords and strict “community guidelines,” has become an unlikely hub for erotic art. Of course, we all know that Instagram is an all-too-perfect tool for satisfying the Peeping Tom in all of us, used fervently to “stalk,” fantasize about, or live vicariously through the lives of others. But looking at erotic art on Instagram is its own particular type of voyeurism. Because many artists post their work through personal accounts, we see their seductive artworks alongside glimpses into their personal lives—as in the work of artist Frances Waite , where a drawing of a partially denuded woman bent over on her couch lends some similarity to a selfie of the artist, and in a bedroom that looks sneakily familiar. The images can’t help but inform one another.
American artist Natalie Krim ( @nataliejhane ) is a perfect example. Her playful sketches of pinups scream of female pleasure—her women pose seductively, touching their bodies in ecstasy. And then, every once in a while, her feed is peppered with an image of the artist: e.g. an image of of Krim drawing on a canvas in her studio, wearing white cotton panties and white pumps (aspirational workwear). Of course, looking at an artwork often triggers intrigue into the mind of its creator. But Instagram takes it to a new, artfully pervy level.
Artist Riya Hamid ( @riyahamid )—a native New Yorker in Berlin—is another erotic illustrator whose feed is easy to get lost in. “It definitely contextualizes the artist’s work,” Hamid said of viewing erotic art through Instagram. “You feel more intimately involved.” Hamid’s work often features young women in various states of undress, caught in moments of dreamy self-reflection or sleepy wonder. “There’s a lot of of nudity in my work,” Hamid said, “but often it’s portrayed in non-sexual ways; it’s just everyday life. But I’m a very sexual person, and I have a lot of sexual trauma, and I find that manifests in a lot of my work. I’m a homebody, and have a confusing relationship with my bed, which is why a lot of my subjects are in the bedroom, either on or near a bed.”
For many artists making erotica today, Instagram is a necessary evil. On one hand, it’s the perfect medium to promote your art, and many artists sell work directly through the platform. (I currently have two abstract, orgiastic line drawings hanging in my living room, bought through DM with L.A. artist @blowupgun , who told me that sales through Instagram make up the entirety of his career.) And yet, for the erotically inclined, the platform is precarious—in an instant it could all be snatched from you for violating Instagram’s notoriously vague and seemingly arbitrary “community guidelines.” (No one can seem to figure out why a period stain or a tuft of pubes can get your account deleted, and yet Kim Kardashian West’s naked, oiled butt is totally chill.)
Essentially, Instagram is square, in more ways than one. Just ask Israeli artist @aviya.wyse , currently on her fourth Instagram account. Her stark, documentary-style photographs of bodies are apparently too triggering for the powers that be. With more than half a million followers, California artist @Alphachanneling has mostly managed to avoid the censors, who seem to approve of his psychedelic sexual imagery and odes to magical pussy. According to @Alphachanneling: “IG’s guidelines are vague and ambiguous, and often contradictory. Instagram is such a wonderful platform to connect people to art and ideas, and it’s unfortunate that it’s simultaneously such a threatening and insecure environment where artists are always at risk of having their accounts shut down. These communities of artists, curators, and art appreciators are like castles made of sand that can disappear overnight, entire histories of posts, comments, and discussions erased, just like that.”
But despite its #problematic puritanism, Instagram has democratized the distribution of art. While the erotic art we see in museums is almost exclusively made by white dudes (just last week, Sotheby’s in London auctioned 89 works of erotic art —made by 58 artists, only three of which were women). Instagram is a world where women can reclaim the pervasive tradition of the female nude. Instagram has unwittingly become a platform for artists around the globe, some with hundreds of thousands of followers, to share their visions of sex, love, and intimacy. And perhaps @Alphachanneling said it best: “Erotic art explores the entire spectrum of our human condition through the lens of desire. Social media makes possible a wider diversity of this erotic expression, as individuals now have more of a platform to broadcast their unique and authentic voices than ever before.”
