Japanese for "pervert." Literally "strange desires." In American usage it more often refers to Japanese porn, especially in cartoons.
(The plural of "hentai" is just "hentai," not "hentais.")

Hentai is a pathetic attempt at porn? Nope, not at all. Additionally, Anime-Hentai was never an attempt to produce pornographic animation in the first place. Its something that has a considerable amount of history, as well as having quite alot of cultural background.

Unlike reality based and for MANY others “easily tired out” pornographic content, the only limits that Anime-Hentai presents to its artists are their imaginations. ANY type of fetish/situation you can imagine, you can have it and in full varieties of professional artistic designs.

Many people look up Anime-Hentai and just see badly animated clips of what appear to be average porn, but their just not aware of the bigger picture. Hentai just has no limits “whatsoever“ and can be as degrading, immoral, or just plain volatile as it wants to be.

Also “unlike generic reality based pornography”, Hentai can in some areas be incredibly artistic. Notably also, many Anime-Hentai’s can actually supply considerably “again in comparison to generic porn” dramatic/tragic series that are not meant to just merely satisfy its viewers, but provoke their very emotions.

Explicitly sexual pictures, movies, comics, or even games drawn in the Japanese animation style. A common practice in hentai is to stretch the sex acts beyond the beyonds of normal human sex. Hentai is based off of a very old practice of drawing sexually explicit acts in order to aid the process of masturbation and has, actually, a richer history than pornography.

if youve ever seen hentai then you will be put into one of 3 groups
1)lovers
2)loathers
3)laughers

1)lovers are the ones who basically love hentai, i dont think their is anything wrong with it, as long as they dont take it waaaaay too seriously

2)loathers, lovers worst nightmare, go round saying nerds jack off over this and that real women are better, this may be obviously true but i dont criticise peoples beliefs

3)ah, my group. laughers are the guys who see it and just start laughing at it, not hating it, but not loving it either, these are the guys who play games like franks adventure and those damn simgirl games just forthe hell of completing it before their friend (who happens to be a lover)

overall there is nothing wrong with it, as long as they keep it clean, when they show little children and women getting done by slimy tenticles, thats VERY wrong! love it or loathe it though, its here to stay.
1)oh man she is total hottnes and i love that green hair, im going the bathroom for the next 15-30 minutes

2)oh man, your are so sick jacking off to your cartoons. get a life you geek. get some real porn!

3)lover:hey, check this picture out
loather:oh you sad bastard!
laugher:OH MY GOD! HAHAHAHAHA! i never knew women could do that man, dude! sick!

Your Plan B when you don't feel like seeing real women(or men) doing the deed.
Note that hentai has literally everything you have fantasized about before, you name it, tentacle porn( exactly what it sound like), ganbang( Do i really need to explain this to you?), harem(a group that usually surrounds themselves around the protagonist ), prostitution (where a person does sexual acts for a certain price), pregnancy (if you don't know what this is... GO APOLOGIZE TO YOUR MOTHERS RIGHT NOW!!!), futanari (Female that has a penis) etc...(Keep in mind i coul give you at least another 100 genres, but i'm too lazy to write them.)
WARNING: IF YOU STILL LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS BE SMART ENOUGH TO USE INCOGNITO!!!
Me: So how come you didn't reply to my text yesterday?
