Hey there folks, Kuromi here. Today I'll be doing another requested article. It's from one of my college bestie and he said, "Do hentai".


Well he doesn't specifically ask for the details, so I'm just gonna relate this article with my previous one. Also please pay no mind at all to my inconsistent font selections. It's my blog and I can do any sh*ts I want. Anyways, we're not gonna talk deep into this matter (as in super explicit). So don't worry, I'll make sure you guys can ease in this topic for today (no puns intended there). 

Warning! This post is only for audiences in the age of 18 and above only. I won't hold any responsibility if you little brats lied about your age and kept on reading anyways. Wank off somewhere else.

What is Hentai?

So before we begin, let us ask our own understanding on what hentai actually is. Just like how the otaku term means differently between the Japanese and Western cultures, the same thing goes for hentai.

The word 'hentai' that we know today was actually a term used in the field of science/technology in Japan meaning 'change' or 'transformation'. But time goes on and soon it was used to define something as 'twisted' or 'perverse'.

In the Western, however, the word hentai was specifically used to define pornographic Japanese animations and manga/comics. That's right, again with the stereotyping. 

So it's up to you to use however you like with the word 'hentai', but I'm going to use the Western definition for this article so you guys could understand  lil' bit.

Hentai and Ecchi



Now we go on to the next frequently asked question, what's the difference between hentai and ecchi? Are they the same thing?

Little boys and girls, I tell you here and now, that ecchi is not hentai. There are cases that an anime or manga portray so much ecchi that it became borderline hentai and people actually watch them more. That's right, I'm talking to you little boy. 

Ecchi only portrays inuendos and mild suggestive images. But it never went all the way to actual sexual acts as hentai did. So it is safe for underages to watch ecchi animes. But it still might inappropriate for below 15 or so. However, there are kids still watching all these, you should notify your school about this.

Types of Hentai

While most hentai portrays women (sometimes little girls) being 'abused', there are reversed situation where men are the one's being 'abused'. Sometimes, even men 'abusing' men.

Not to mention, bestiality. The world of hentai is certainly not for everyone for it is completely bizzare and most of the time very offensive (Kuro Ai just passed through my mind) like the glorification of rape.

There are many genres of hentai today, but one of the most popular one to the Western community is, of course, the tentacle hentai.

Japanese have always been weird, I guess it also applied to their sexual interests. It is famous but tentacle porn was actually old school. Not many ecchi or hentai series used this genre anymore (I'm guessing they're getting more normal now), but it's not been cast out yet either. Strange as it may be, but it is one of the attracting factor of Japanese hentai.
Is it an obligation?

Now we get to the main question. Is every otaku a hentai audience? The answer is, NO. Not every otaku watches hentai. It's just that almost 7 out of 10 otaku did watched them. But not ALL of them. I won't deny that I did seen some of them, but I got a bunch of otaku friends that is still pure and innocent (maybe). 

It is a habit of people stereotyping every otaku watches hentai, so to you guys who starting out being an otaku, watching hentai is optional. If you do know any otaku who watches hentai, don't be afraid to hang out with them. They already 'vent off' their 'needs' so they won't 'disturb' you. In fact, most of the otaku guys I know that watches hentai are more polite than normal people. Maybe it's because they know what is rude, offensive and inappropriate through the things they watch, they can differentiate the good and the bad.

So there you go folks, that's all I can talk about regarding this topic. Leave your thoughts in the comment section below. That's all from me and as always, keep on reading. See ya'!
