PUBLISHER’S STATEMENT
JADE is an adult erotic magazine and
deals with all aspects and genres of male and female erotica. Neither JADE, its
editors, publishers or contributors support, advocate or condone the use of
violence or force against another being in the pursuance of sexual
gratification by one person over another against their will. We believe in the
right of consenting adults to pursue their sensuality and sexuality in the way
they choose, and for them to have the right to determine for themselves what
they see, read and experience. All models featured in the magazine are over the
age of consent. No person was harmed or forced to appear against their
will. |

JADE was launched in 2001 and is the
only erotica magazine published in the UK to be awarded membership of The Guild
of Erotic Artists. It has consistantly improved, moving from 48 pages when it
began to 76 pages in 2007. JADE has become the leading erotica-only magazine
(free of reams of specious advertising) published within the UK and has
established itself as the magazine of choice for intelligent and mature
readers, both men and women, seeking genuine erotic content rather than porn
and wall to wall sex adverts.
In April 2008, at the start of its 7th year, JADE moved to a
monthly, full colour, high resolution PDF download format and the printed
version ceased production after 40 issues. |
| |
| Alongside our erotic literature we
present galleries of sensual images from many of the most talented male and
female photographers and artists in the world today, including members of the
Guild of Erotic Artists who have members in all disciplines around the world.
The erotica published in JADE encompasses all genres and types of photography,
art and literature from solo males and females, male/female, female/female,
group, male/male, through to gothic, fetish, bondage, retro, bizzare and
everything in between in what is often described as both 'soft' and 'hard
core'. |
| |
| JADE does NOT publish off-subject
features (such as articles about cars or sport or fashion), however, we do
include various articles about and concerning erotica and the erotic.
Contributions for these slots are most welcome. The magazine has a minimal
advertising policy and you will never see things such as telephone sex adverts
inside JADE - the magazine only presents cover to cover erotica. Visit the
'Comments and Reviews' page to see what other lovers of fine erotica have to
say about the magazine - you may soon be adding your voice to
theirs. |
| |
| JADE exists to promote and foster new
and established talent. From issue 13 (August 2004) we began publishing the
'JADE Directory' - a listing of website and contact details of photographers,
artists, models, sculptors and writers. Entry to this directory is FREE to
those photographers, artists, models, sculptors and writers who are subscribers
to the magazine and certain categories of Guild membership and to contributors.
Please contact us for further details. |
| |
| All contributors and potential
contributors should be fully aware that JADE is not funded by
advertising (as most other publications are) but relies solely on its
subscribers to fund publication. As a contributor, you do not have to subscribe
to the magazine in order to be featured in it, but we would ask you to consider
that no other erotica magazine published in the UK has introduced more new and
emerging talents than JADE, or has adopted the mature stance that we have in
regard to advertising and editorial padding. We therefore ask for your support
to ensure that the magazine flourishes and that there will always be a place
for high quality, fresh, new and exciting erotica from around the world. In
subscribing to JADE you ensure its future and the introduction of new talents
to a wider audience worldwide. |

| PUBLICATION & AVAILABILITY |
| |
| JADE is published monthly and is ONLY
available by subscription as a PDF download, accessed by unique password. It is
not a ‘mass-market’ publication and is not available in the shops or
from third parties. |
| |
The magazine is high resolution, full
colour (except where black and white images are supplied by contributors), and
features erotic fiction, personal stories (fact and fiction),
‘confessions’ and memoirs, erotic, nude, glamour, fetish and fine art
photography, and illustrations from men and women on all adult themes of an
erotic and sensual nature. Each issue typically features the work of 5
photographers/artists and 5 writers, along with JADE features, various articles
on erotic subjects, a comprehensive monthly round up of news from the Guild of
Erotic Artists, and the JADE Directory.
All subscriber versions of the
magazine incorporate copy and print protection, so you will be unable to copy
or print the magazine in its final format, this is to prevent copyright
infringement. |

|
| |
| THE
JADE ETHOS |
| |
| The ethos of the magazine is to present
to a wider audience both new and established talents in the world of erotica
for the pleasure and enjoyment of both men and women. JADE is NOT a 'lads
jerk-off magazine' - the magazine sets out to present written, photographic and
artistic erotica and the human form in a genuine and sensual manner which
appeals to mature men and women, across a wide range of genres and themes and
in an adult manner. |
| |
| JADE is a celebration of male and
female eroticism and we have taken the editorial decision NOT to include
irrelevant articles, advice columns or other editorial material, nor are there
fancy layouts and banners inserted to 'pad out' the publication. Advertising
space, too, is kept to an absolute minimum - although space is given to members
of the Guild of Erotic Artists for promotion of their work. |
| |
| The design and layout of JADE is clean,
crisp and uncluttered to allow the reader to enjoy the full experience of the
wealth of superior erotica between each issue's covers. It is our goal, and
that of our talented contributors, to ensure our readers are given a truly
sensual experience as they are taken on a fresh, unhurried and pleasurably
erotic journey through each issue. |
| |
|
| |
| JADE
- THE FUTURE |
| |
| The long-term aims of everyone connected
with JADE are to see the magazine grow in both size and overall content; to
achieve a sustainable level of distribution; to promote the work of the
contributors; to encourage and foster working collaborations between
contributors in all media; to produce special edition magazines and books of
contributors’ material (see the Special Reserve Collection and Special
Portfolio Editions); and to provide comprehensive, low cost production advice,
assistance and services to both contributors and subscribers. |

|
| |
| CONTRIBUTIONS & SUBMISSIONS |
| |
| We welcome contributions, and you do not
have to be a professional to make a submission to the magazine. All
photographic and artistic material is assessed on its erotic content rather
than the reputation or professional standing of the contributor. All written
material is assesed on its erotic content rather than on an ability to write to
a professional standard. Submission is open to ALL. If you would like to submit
work to JADE please visit the 'Submissions - Contributions - Wanted' page to
get further details. Alongside superior erotic fiction, we are seeking
intelligent and entertaining articles on erotica and the erotic for the
magazine - if you have an area, subject or idea for an article please contact
the editor before submitting any material. |
