Advertising — From Issue 02

Reach an
Audience That
Actually Wants
What You Offer

Neon Pulse readers are sex-positive adults who engage with desire as part of their identity, not a guilty corner of it. They are discerning, curious, and spending money on exactly the kind of things you make.

Availability

Ad Sales Open
from Issue 02

Issue 01 (July 2026) runs house ads. Advertising positions open for Issue 02 (October 2026). Rate card and media kit available on request ahead of launch.

Who Reads Neon Pulse

Our core reader is a woman aged 18–40 who is unapologetic about her sexuality, engaged with erotic culture, and not interested in publications that talk down to her. She is also surrounded by a broader community of people who share these values.

Core Reader

Sex-Positive Women 18–50

Adults who take desire seriously as part of their identity. They read erotic fiction, follow fine art photography, engage actively with sexual culture. They are not the edge case — they are the primary audience this magazine was built for.

Industry Adjacent

Sex Workers & Adult Creators

Escorts, cam performers, OnlyFans creators, boudoir photographers, and adult entertainers. Professionals with income and clear spending patterns around their work. Neon Pulse speaks to them as contributors and readers, not as subjects.

Community

Kink & Alternative Lifestyle

People active in kink, BDSM, polyamory, and alternative relationship structures. Highly networked, brand-loyal within their communities, and underserved by mainstream advertising. They notice brands that take them seriously.

Ad Positions

Each 56-page issue carries a limited number of ad positions. Neon Pulse does not run ads inside pictorials. Every ad position is in an editorial context — not adjacent to a product directory.

No ads run inside pictorial sections (Exposure, Second Exposure). These sections are uninterrupted by design. This is not negotiable — it is part of what makes the magazine worth advertising in.

Ad Content Policy

Neon Pulse is a sex-positive publication and our advertising policy reflects that. We apply the same editorial standards to advertising that we apply to our content. We will not run ads that conflict with the magazine’s values.
