While the front page of Pawchive looks pretty clean at a glance, it only took me one click before I was gawking at fox-tailed girls in their underwear, hentai chicks giving footjobs, dragon babes with thick and shapely thighs, and a ripped, muscle-bound college schoolgirl lifting up a puny little man to help him reach a higher shelf. It’s not the usual fap fodder I find among the regular tubes and popular paysites of the internet, but if you’re into hentai, you’re probably about to get a lot harder and drippier than you ever get elsewhere.
Pawchive.pw describes itself as “a public archiver based on Kemono” for Patreon and Pixiv Fanbox. That’s accurate, sure, and the dedicated weebs will understand immediately, but the description is kind of meaningless if you’re a newcomer to hentai. At the risk of having angry nerds in my DMs, allow me to simplify the description for the sake of this intro: Pawchive is a free collection of fine hentai, plus some assorted odds and ends like AI porn, cosplay photos and a bit of SFW photography. It’s a sprawling joint with a hell of a lot going on, so without any further ado, let’s start our little tour.
An Archiver, Community and Porn Stash
I’m sure a lot of you have noticed this, but hentai sites don’t always feel super user-friendly. This is especially true with imageboard sites like the various Boorus and Chans of the internet, where the interfaces feel like something straight out of the early ‘00s. I wouldn’t exactly call them clunky, but the noobs might not know exactly where to start clicking.
Pawchive is not technically an imageboard, but it’s built in a very similar mold. The front page basically just tells you what the site is, in terminology that only the nerds are up to speed on. One of the major elements here is that the whole platform is modeled after a joint called Kemono, widely considered to be one of the best hentai archivers out there. You don’t really need to understand this to get your faps in, but this gimmick should all but guarantee a bigger spread and better sample content than your average library of sexy artwork.
Pawchive.pw is a relatively new site living on a relatively new domain, but the whole thing has roots. There’s already a thriving community here, with over 23,000 subscribers in their Telegram channel alone. Even if you’re not leaving comments or interacting with your fellow horndogs, that massive userbase will help maintain a strong and steady flow of fresh material.
Sure enough, users are constantly adding new sample content to the library. The setup’s a little unusual here, so click the Search link under the Posts header on the menu to find the latest uploads. As I type this up, the freshest material includes kawaii cuties consuming cock, dog ladies in heavy bondage, some sexed-up World Cup fan art, a couple 3D animated thick mamas smashing a dick between their giant asses, and an uncensored hentai cock ride video with a whole lot of moaning and squirting.
If you’d like to contribute, they’ve built a fantastic tool for importing content direct from the sources. The FAQ lays out the process in detail, but it’s surprisingly simple. All you’ve got to do is select the site you’re importing from, paste in your session key and boom! You are now a contributor, and the rest of us thank you very much.
21 Million Posts and Counting
Flicking through the newest Pawchive.pw uploads, a few things struck me. For one thing, posts can vary a lot in their content volume. You might get a single drawing of lesbians tribbing, you could chance upon a lonesome video clip of pole-smoking furry girls, or if you’re lucky, you’ll find a whole gallery unfolding as you scroll ever downward.
The thing is, no matter how you slice it up, the archive of Pawchive is absolutely fucking gargantuan. There are over 21 million posts as I type this up. Even the posts with singular images really stack up at this level, making for a bigger library than even the best-stocked free tubes out there. Oh, and you know as well as I that Pornhub doesn’t stock their shelves with the kind of deep-niche depravity you find on a good hentai site—Pawchive included!
There is a freakier variety of X-rated sample content here than you’ll typically find on most porn sites. That’s on clear display everywhere, and the perversion I’ve already mentioned is only scraping the surface. I still haven’t said anything about all the futanari comic strips, elven fantasy fuckfests, Asian BDSM photos and the generous volume of pornographic parodies. Is that Psylocke with her tits out?
Tagging could honestly be better. I couldn’t help noticing that a ton of the recent posts were imported without any tags at all, which is going to make them difficult to find as this mountain of hentai continues to grow. My guess is that the Pawchive import system is just grabbing whatever tags it finds, which sometimes means nothing. Perhaps they could implement user tags in the import stage, which would help organize the stash as it grows.
The Tags page, as a lot of you have probably already guessed, is an absolutely sprawling, unwieldy index of obscene language. It’s just one big page of keywords, sorted by content volume without any alternate ways of reshuffling the stack. NSFW is the top tag, with over 206,000 posts. As I suspected, Furry content is well represented with over 27k posts, as well as heavy servings of Giantess, Feet, Genshin Impact, Hololive and Naruto imagery.
The Best Hentai Creators in the Game
One of the things that separates Pawchive.pw from other hentai platforms is that the work here comes from respected artists in the niche. They’re talented enough to earn money through their creations, and Pawchive is easily one of the best sources for their free samples. This isn’t another crusty doujinshi site where just anybody can upload their chicken scratch bullshit.
As of this writing, Pawchive features sample content from nearly 90,000 creators. If you’re a fan of this type of material, there’s a good chance you know about artists like Maplestar, Anna Anon, theobrobine, ViciNeko and Xipa, the top five creators as I type this up. All of them have a presence on Patreon or Pixiv Fanbox, and Pawchive has included their official links if you’d like to support them directly. Freeloading is great for your wallet, but most of these artists are banging out smut in their free time. Tossing a few bucks their way lets them call in sick to work, stay home, and draw more porn for us.
I took a peek at Maplestar’s Pawchive archive, which currently includes around 200 posts. I’m admittedly bad at names when it comes to hentai artists, but I know I’ve seen this dude’s work. It looks professional enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a legit animator as his day job, but I know for a fact this kind of uncensored hentai ain’t released in Japan.
I didn’t stumble upon any in Maplestar’s section, but there are lots of download links sprinkled throughout the posts. As a collector, I appreciate the convenience. I’d also recommend using an image downloader plugin for your browser on sites like this, because it’ll let you snatch whole galleries with a simple click or two. Alternately, you could just register a free account and click that Favorite button every time you see something that makes your boner twitch.
As I wrap this up, I’m ogling the most popular posts of the week. Pawchive gets such an incredible influx of sample content that this may be the best way to peruse the new stuff, and I like that you can break it down by day, week or month. There’s a 16-page BDSM glory hole comic that’s got me all hot and bothered, and I need to finish writing so I can appreciate it with both hands.
Pawchive.pw does a damn fine job at its mission of archiving professional quality hentai and other sample content, making it an easy recommendation for Kemono fans looking for a similar fix. Going further, I’d say the archive is an easy recommendation to sex manga enthusiasts, furries and assorted horny weeaboos, even if you’ve never heard of Kemono. The Pawchive is huge, constantly growing, and caters to a far wider of kinks and fetishes than your average xHamster wannabe. If you ain’t sold yet, it’s probably just not for you.
