Extra Extra is a magazine for erotic encounters, drawn against a vibrant urban décor. Extra Extra provides a platform for sensual modern life, where curiosity, tenderness and exaltation come together. It’s a place where city stories bridge differences and inspire dialogue and aesthetic enjoyment.

Extra Extra honors the vital way intimacy guides our daily life and promotes a conscious way of conducting your life, in an open, curious, self-assured manner.

Extra Extra is a creative dream of city life where art, music, writing, fashion and food touch upon our daily reveries through the inner city. We celebrate the erotic tones of creative endeavors, with a witty and sophisticated eye. We interview creative city dwellers who dare to share the sensual fantasies that can be encountered in their work. The magazine dedicates space to short fictions by established and emerging writers from over the globe. A broad selection of artist contributions further explores dimensions of eroticism.
