January is a liar.
It arrives wrapped in pastels and pressure—new year, new you—demanding optimization, celibacy, and green juice. But Lascivia knows better. January is not a beginning. It is a deep, wet, frozen pause. It is the womb of the year: dark, slow, and fertile.
In this issue, we reject the linear grind of self-improvement. Instead, we explore the ritual of unbecoming—shedding the performance of productivity to rediscover desire as a cyclical, messy, nocturnal force.
Welcome to the art of wintering. Not as survival. As sensuality.
In a surprising pivot, the January 2023 issue includes a 10-page feature on haptic technology and the future of long-distance intimacy. This section fuses glossy nude photography with diagrams of VR haptic suits and interviews with tech ethicists.
It raises the question: Can a machine be erotic? Lascivia argues yes—but warns that technology without vulnerability is just noise. The accompanying photo series places models in metallic body paint against server-farm backdrops, creating a striking metaphor for the cold heat of digital desire.
Title: “Venus in Retrograde” Photographer: Mira K. (Berlin) Concept: A series of film-noir-infused self-portraits shot entirely by candlelight between December 26 and January 3. No digital retouching. Subjects are shown in states of luxurious undress—not posed for the male gaze, but caught mid-thought: a hand hovering over a lover’s back, a cigarette burning alone, red wine spilling across a marble table. The theme is waiting without anxiety.
If you are looking to purchase a physical copy, act fast. The publisher has confirmed a limited run of only 5,000 copies worldwide. As of late January 2023, the following channels still have limited stock:
A digital edition is also available via the Issuu platform, though the publisher notes that the tactile experience of the print version is essential to the work.
Lascivia Magazine - January 2023 is not porn. It is not soft-core. It is not clickbait.
It is a deliberate, slow, intellectual unraveling of what we think we know about bodies and longing. In an era of swipe-left dating and AI-generated nudes, Lascivia demands that we pause. That we turn a page slowly. That we look at a photograph of a stranger and feel not lust, but recognition. Lascivia Magazine - January 2023
For collectors, it is a time capsule of early 2023’s anxieties and hopes. For artists, it is a proof of concept that erotic art can still be radical. For the casual reader, it is simply a beautiful object—one that might just change the way you see your own skin.
Rating: ★★★★½ (4.5/5) Deducting half a star only for the limited availability, which artificially restricts access to those who need this work most.
Recommended for: Photographers, gender studies students, lovers of The Erotic Review, fans of Helmut Newton, and anyone tired of the algorithmic neutering of human intimacy.

Title: “Against Dry January: A Defense of Slow Intoxication” Writer: Leo M. (Lascivia’s resident hedonism columnist)
Opening lines:
“I will not be trading my Thursday negroni for a celery juice. Not because I lack discipline, but because I reject the puritanical rhythm that says pleasure must be earned through suffering. This January, try ‘Low January’ instead: one glass, savored over two hours, with no phone and one very good listener.”
Includes: A cocktail recipe for “The Winter Solstice” (mezcal, cacao nib infusion, smoked rosemary, and a single dried blood orange slice).
Title: “Unresolution #2023” Artist: Collective Femme Vortex (digital collage) Image: A fragmented Polaroid of a mouth half-open, overlaid with handwritten annotations crossing out typical resolutions (“lose weight” → “lose the scale”; “be more productive” → “be more present in bed”; “save money” → “spend on a truly great vibrator”). The final line, written in red lipstick: “I resolve to stay curious.”
