Hentai - SERIOUS DISCUSSION!

[The Archangel]

What do you think of it? It's a world phenomenon that exists mostly in Japan. Why is that? Has it got anything to do with their culture? Is it "pervs only" or could it have another meaning? I'm open to opinions on this?

[Wilder]

I could care less. It's fine for other guys (or girls) to be looking at it. If it's their thing, it's their thing. I honestly don't care about the whole age thing either. If kids are curious, heck! Let them be curious! It won't make them run out and do anything. It'd probably just give them nightmares XD!

[lucifer_ur_god]

agreed...if people want to look at it its their choice. we can't say its wrong b/c its their life if they want to spend their life looking at perveted pics let them

I watch hentai, A lot. And i guarantee half the members on this forum watch it, and deny it.
You can't go on an anime forum of this size and not have hentai fans, it's not possible.

Oh, and for the megatokyo fans. Fred Gallagher is a hypocrite. Why? He goes on saying how hentai is an insult too anime, yet back in 97 he drew a 70 page LOLI-CON doujin. Loli, and furries, are the 2 forms of hentai I can't STAND.

Really, I see nothing wrong with hentai. It's not that big of a deal, really. I go on hentai forums, and trust me...Not all hentai fans are bad people, a lot of them are...guess what...NICE (And most hentai forums have a nice population of female members, so it's not just a guy thing)

On a last note. To the woman who say it's disgusting...If you EVER watch yaoi, you are a hypocrite.

Those are my views, as I see it, no one should care.

If you don't like it, thats fine too. I can respect that, but it's annoying when people
-Deny they like it when they really do
-Insult others when they watch it.


Edit: To the ABOVE poster. Why do you assume that people who watch hentai JUST look at perverted pictures for the rest of their lives as thats what you are saying.

[Yugure's Goddess]

I don't have a problem with it! I watch occasionally and when I can find any decent ones. It's just natural to want to look at stuff like that. It's really no big deal.

And I am female and have several female friends who watch it, too so it's really not just a male thing and I agree with the above poster, it doesn't nessecarily make some one a bad person because everyone does and even if you don't look at pictures I'm sure You fantasize about things at least some times. (and if you haven't gotten to that fun time in you life you will soon)...

[mimichan1000]

it's not like that . it's because of the censors in America. i'm a huge fan of it myself... there's nothing wrong with looking at it....

[Ωmega]

Well, its mostly in Japan because its created in Japan, but its big here too. I honestly dont think its a big deal, its just cartoon porn. The one thing I do like about it, is that some actually have pretty good storylines to them...while some are just plain...ew (well, it is from a place where you can buy used panties from vending machines...) its a bit more entertaning than regular porn because...well, you can really see a robot or giant tenticle monster doing several chicks at once, now can you?

I would of agreed with you but the sentence about yaoi isn't true.
Yaoi is just Boy's in love having it. Nothing more "hypocrital" about it.
You must of had a lot of bad postings by females to state such a false thing.

Hentai is indeed "Perverted" and something for teenagers above 14-15 and adults. It wouldn't be wrong for a young child to see such things but it would effect them in a bad way and in my belief make them do stuff they shouldn't.
So in general there is nothing wrong with hentai for teens and adults but kids.

The hypocritical part is where the girls say they hate hentai, yet watch their own brand of it.

You hit the nail on the head, that's exactly where I was going.

My mom said that because sex laws in Japan are so high, that they can't do real porn. So they show it in there cartoons.

[Darth Tyranus]

It's a world phenomenon that exists mostly in Japan

So are you trying to sound like a idiot? A WORLd wide thing that is mainly in JAPAN, hardly world wide then is it? I'm not all that fond of hentai though I am not strongly apposed to it either, just buy real porn. Most hentai isn't sexy in any way it's more often than not unappealing for a lot of reasons. Not that equaly twisted things aren't in real porn.

[-Batman-]

Then your mother knows nothing. Why?

Japan has TONS of porn (I've seen plenty of professional videos)

If I recall, you can buy panties in vending machines.
I also remember reading somewhere that the legal age for sex was like...13-14, but I might be mistaken.
If i'm wrong on the last two, please correct me.

[urrik]

you know i don't really know why they watch or get that kind of stuff but it needs to stop now but i can care less because im not in there predicument

[Lilium Filix]

Hm, I really can't form an opinion on hentai, because I haven't seen any.
Yes, I've heard of it, and know what is in it, but I have never bothered looking at it.
However, what I think is that, too many people make big deal out of it.
If you call someone pervertd or sick-minded because they watch porn and hentai, then wouldn't you be the sick-minded one?
Think of it this way, when you say porn/hentai is wrong, has it ever occured to you that you're the one thinking about all that unappealing, wrong things that are going on in hentai/porn?
When someone else is looking at it, let them look, they're the ones looking at it, not you.
I am not trying to offend anyone.
I'm just trying to form my own opinion.
Hentai isn't such a big deal, many people look at it, and just because they do, it does not make the a "perverted" or bad person.
It's just something they find interest in.

[Opinionated]

I used to watch hentai, but I honestly don't now. Why? Because it go so damn boring after the first ten times. Same with every other brand of heterosexual porn I've seen. It gets so boring, you just don't do it anymore.

[Wilder]

I have seen hentai before, but it was by accident. Someone kept sending me this e-mail with picutres in it, and at that time I didn't know how to block people. I'm not hypocrtical either, I don't like yaoi or yuri either. Only Shounen-Ai. My mom doesn't restrict me either, she just doesn't think that I'd look. And I wouldn't, I already know what happens with the brids and the bees. So why need to physically see it?
Generally speaking, I don't think there's really such thing as "perverted". If it's sexual contact between two consenting adults then it's fine. So what's up with all this "perverted" stuff?

[Capernicus]

Okay, ya'll are freaks. Oo I don't it myself, mainly because I don't have access to any. >.< Me so poor. I broke into my brother's stash once ansd watched one, but other then that, no. I liked it, had an actual storyline and interesting characters. I don't like porn though for that fact that it is loaded with random sex, which I don't like at all. There has to be some sort of emotion. So if you want to watch hentai, I don't have a problem with that.

[Buruku]

It serves its purpose, i'm not opposed to it, and I have never seen it as 'degrading to anime'. Honestly I havn't watched much myself, but I think i'd rather watch Hentai instead of real porn, but thats just me. Though there are some really screwed up things in Hentai(I assume most of you know what i'm talking about) but then again regular porn can be just as bad...we'll I prefer to stay away from that sort of thing.

What predicument? You act like people are forced too watch it.

[Sword]

I haven't watched any, just seen pics. Whatever anyone wants to do, do it. That's my basic policy on life in general. A lot of people think that you can't get turned on by cartoons, but it's just the same as looking at a picture or video of a real person. I mean a picture's a picture. It'd be different if you were on an actual porn set....

[philmaster628]

i say its mostly in japan cause it was created there too

[Capernicus]

What predicument? You act like people are forced too watch it.

Like anime, hentai an be very graphic, and quite realistic. So, getting turned on by it is not at all shameful in my opnion. It just depends on your preferences. I myself don't find anything good about furries or tentacles, but I think some hentai is acceptable. I have numerous pics, read some, watched one. But all that doesn't make me a perv, now does it? I don't go around hitting on every girl (in real life), nor do I try to cop feels or make sexual inuendos. I am not a perv, I'm simply human, and I have hormones too.

[-Batman-]

I myself don't find anything good about furries or tentacles,

If you don't like furries, never go to 4chan on a friday *shiver*...I myself can't stand furries, as 99% of them are poorly drawn. Theres on artist who draws furries very well, but it's still not a turn on (and very sad that it's on ONE artist)
As for tentacles...tentacles aren't arousing...heh...tentacles are hilarious.

[Gjallarhorn]

@ Redfield: Yes, they are. It is unintentional comedy.

I have watched/own tons on hentai and read/own tons of Hmanga and doujins. I do not see any problem with it. People like what they like. Most of it I just find amusing. I would say that my favorite genre is yuri, my least favorites being lolicon, yaoi, furry, and shota. I am am member on a few hentai-themed forums as well. Most people there are very good people.
I also, as many people above, hate it when people:
a. Deny they watch hentai (it is usually these people who have large collections).
b. When women watch/read/enjoy yaoi and then say hentai is disgusting.
c. Insult/disrespect those who watch read it.
