    Default Is Hentai porn or art?

    Well I know in the 16th century there were alot of sexually explicit paintings by artists like paul avril and there not considered to be porn but I do find it unfair that people call hentai porn because it takes just as mush work to do hentai compared normal anime and sometimes more. Also the mangaka of hellsing did alot of hentai manga and maybe some hentai anime and the mangaka who did yu yu hakusho made quite a few hentai anime like space agga ruter. So I was wondering what other people thought of hentai. Also when it comes to pencil or paint or anything else like that I call it art because technically art is the application of pencil and paint on paper while using you imagination .

    Now, that depends on how YOU look at it. Today, people would identify hentai as porn without any other considerations. But still, if you think it is art, then it's art, otherwise not.

    A hentai that is considered art in my opinion is that a picture of a girl looking normal with less clothes or even no clothes on. If the picture is of a girl wearing nothing with naughty facial expression or pose, then I would consider that as perverted.

    Depends on the hentai. If you're talking {word meaning one who engages in sexual acts for financial compensation has been redacted} Girl or something, then no. It's well drawn, but not art. If you're talking something like Kana Little Sister then yes, I'd say it qualifies as art.

    Considering that "hentai" means "perverted", and it is generally anime, manga, or images focusing mostly, if not entirely on sex, I'd say porn.


    Fair warning, if anything inappropriate enters this thread, it's done.

    Porn can be art and art can be porn. Well, it's possible.

    I'm going to have to say it's both. I've seen some hentai where the art was actually very well done, and I've seen some art that was downright indecent.

    It's porn. What's the purpose if it's not to get you excited?

    It's destructive and evil.

    That's not true, categorically. There is plenty of hentai out there that use sex scenes in order to build an emotional rapport with one or more of the characters.

    I'm pretty sure more than 90% of hentai is just flat out porn. Now, there are some nice hentais. Some that have actual detail, actual emotion. There's some in between. Now if you go to places like fakku (don't go there, even I don't) it's all porn. No exceptions.

    id say its an art style, while the first-glance would say porn automatically, its quite simply a challenge to artists to depict a very natural, adult-turned act....


    for example sex is considered beautiful in many cultures, and it isnt shunned by the populace, its actually embraced

    plus Japan isnt ashamed to speak of it and so it was molded into an art style, which the American "culture" deemed innappropriate

    overall, id say its up to the viewer to decide...

    Not in the least, you don't have to bring up your interests.

    More along the line of sex between consenting adults whose romance is in some way hampered by circumstance.

    I'd have to say it's both because artist take the time to make hentai with as much time as they would an anime and also people still do stuff with it... i think? haha i mean i think porn is anything with intercourse in it

    Anyway, I find some hentai fairly artistic, but I'm not really in it for the art. It's animated pornography, I guess, but that doesn't mean it can't be done in a way that's fairly pleasing to my aesthetic senses.
    Well, that was educational.

    Well, conceivably you could have a character raped brutally and then become a sympathetic character through the trauma, but I agree that it's a highly creepy conclusion to jump to based on what I was saying.
    Ehhh, I dunno if I'll stick around. We'll see.

    My thought is that Hentai is art some one takes their time to draw each detail on each character in it just as any artist would drawing or painting anything the only reason alot of people consideres it art is because it doesnt have more of a pure intent and well it turns people on and gives them a sexual thought that people (i dont belive in god or the devil but) think that things like this are wrong and should not be so Hentai will never be excepted as are..........but like ui said thats my thought but people pay for Hentai just like they pay for art so either way it will be kinda treated like art though no one will reconize it as art

    All porn is art because it appeals to sexual aesthetics, but not all art is porn because the art may be intended to appeal to different aesthetics. So wether hentai is considered art is in the eyes of the beholder. But i would say hentai is definitely porn because that is it's intended nature.

    Considering that "hentai" means "perverted", and it is generally anime, manga, or images focusing mostly, if not entirely on sex, I'd say porn.
    i agree whit tht,bt it can be art too if is not excessivly focused on porn,bt instead a love story,i'll consider it as art!

    Like it's been said, if the main focus is just be perverted and show a bunch of pointless sex scenes with girls that have the face of a 12-year-old and the body of Pamela Anderson, it's porn. If sex is NOT the main focus, it only adds emotion to the story, it can be art.

    Plus, I think it can be both at the same time.
    On this day of days, most epic and prideful, you were born 15 whole American years ago!
    Through the odds and by doing the impossible, you beat out hundreds of thousands of siblings in the great sperm race for the coveted egg.
    Probably via hax.
    Regardless! You won!
    So remember, whenever someone picks on you or calls you weak or small.
    Just remind them that you beat out a few hundred thousand other wimps.

    And the grand prize was not dying!

    I couldn't agree more.The word "Hentai" and "Porn" are purely synonyms. And to consider them as art would be insulting to the great work of arts by many famous true artists around the world. Even if hentai scenes are shown explicitly in some mature anime to further the plot, it's just an excuse of a short porn scene. Though, if you still consider it as an art, it should be consider a redundant art.
