Do you think it's porn? Art? Enjoyable? Repulsive? Do you live in hentaiserver.com?

Anyone that likes Hentai is condemning themself to a lifetime void of any kind of real sexual encounter. They're cartoons, for God's sake. IT'S NOT REAL. Kind of like...a dream or...a sherm high. My advice is to go pick up a basketball or some weights. Become good at something or at least learn how to look like you know what you're doing. Your odds of getting laid (in real life) just improved. Develop a personality. A sense of humor. A healthy body. A sound mind. These also are attractive characteristics. Get someone 21 or over to buy you a case of beer, and go crash a frat party. Then you can stop masturbating to the "Girls Gone Wild" commercials. Become good in bed. Read a book. Play a sport. Study drama. GO THE FUCK OUTSIDE. Don't you know that the only reason Hentai exists is so that people like...I don't know...anybody that watches it can wack to it? It's a DRAWING. Here, want to see my drawing? o -U U- V I I

Hope that turned out right. It's a naked woman. See? Does that pleasure you? Let me ask you this. After you take out your nasty little tape, fast forward to one of the "good parts", and then polish the bishop, do you feel good when you're done? Look in the mirror next time you're washing your dirty little hands. You'll see someone addicted to cartoons, masturbation, and the aversion of anything REAL. Congratulations. You're the fruit of your parents labor. Now go put on your animal costume and attend the "furry" party coming up. I promise, reality will be kept to an absolute minimum. That's the gist!

in my opion henti is an art form much like a lower class version of david or another nude modeling but i`m talking more about ecchi. now hentai (japanese word meaning pervert) is pretty much cartoon sex (in most cases anime) i`m not saying hentai is wrong or pathic in anyway becuase i think everyone in intitled to an opion.

however, hentai like most porn is dose not exactly the best thing in the world so i also agree with AO. and for the record hentai is a fetish much like bondage/S&M,and like most fetishes DO NOT GO OVERBOARD ITS NOT GOOD FOR YOU TO DO IT TOO MUCH! anyway that is all i have to say thank you ^-^

I think it is an art form just as much as when people pose nude and artist draw them. If that's what they have to do to express there points, then so be it. I wish people would be more mature about it though sometimes.... Porn is repulsive. It isn't art, they just want some nerd to jack off to it. It expresses no emotions and they never feel guilty the morning after. Porn is worse than a Soap Opera because Soap Operas are more beilevable.

Not sure why hentai is cause for such a visceral reaction from some people, frankly. Sure, it's 'cartoons', but the "iT"S NOT REAL POEPLE FAGGOT !" reactions I see on boards always make me chuckle. I am going to make the all-too-safe assumption that everyone reading this masturbates. To what degree is debateable and totally beside the point. Think about what you masturbate to. Seriously, just think about it. Anal Action 16 ? Goo-covered Girls Vol. 3 ? Flat-chested jailbait the likes of Barely Legal ? Ridiculous mags full of half-plastic humanoids such as Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, or 93% of all other 'mainstream' porn ? Maybe S&M ? I'm sure we all know what's out there, so I needn't go into an encyclopedic breakdown of pornography.

Now think : to what degree are those representations of sexual activity reflective of what you, personally, may encounter ? Chances are that they aren't. At all. Be realistic, here : do you actually hold out hopes of being part of a 'three-way' ? Do you think that there are actually large numbers of girls and women out there who carry with them a deep desire to 'take it in the ass' ? Who would ever hear of you coming on their face ? Who posess 34CC breasts ? I hope not. Because if you do, someone has gotten into your head and messed you up. Bad.

What does this have to do with hentai ? Everything. Just as people can enjoy strikingly unrealistic porn and return post-wank to the real world, pitiful are those few who confuse it with actual life and what goes on between two people during the act of sex. And please, be serious. You are not a 'playa'. Do not try to convince me that you are. I'm sure as hell not. I'm 29 and happily married to a 27 year old woman who I love dearly. I make ~34k/yr as a cog for a consulting company.

And I really, really dig on hentai.

Do I live in my parent's basement ? Attend anime conventions ? Not bathe ? Hang around street corners muttering to myself ? No, I do not. I own under a dozen anime DVDs, have no desire to acquire more, and those fur freaks scare the hell out of me. But there is, in my mind, something special about watching hermaphroditic Sailor Scouts get each other off. Am I going to try to rationalize this ? Explain it away ? Mentally surpress it ? Admit it to anyone else ? Hell no. The question is : does that make me, as a person, somehow less mentally sound ? 'Sick' ? If that's your position, be advised it's also what people said about *all masturbation* as recently as your parents' lifetime. We now know otherwise. The problem is not hentai, in any of it's many (often very bizarre) forms : it's the blurring of the real and the unreal in people's minds. If hentai is perceived as the reality, that is definately more of a problem than 'Lusty Latex Lesbos' being so, but the latter would also be a problem nontheless.

Most 'Otaku' (the typical perceived fans of 2D porn) have a problem, regardless of their stance on hentai. Mamoru Oshii said that "Otaku are people who love complex things, but are never creative." They close themselves to the world. Insulate themselves with the unreal. And that is the problem. Not hentai. Emily Dickinson said "Porn is a place you visit, not a place you live." So I'll continue to enjoy peices such as and this. And go on with a happy, productive, and otherwise normal life.

Yes, I beat it to Sasami, and I make no apologies. And if you ever talked to me, you'd probably have no clue.

So wank it to whatever. Just know where you stand, and don't ever put life on the backburner.

Peace.

You DO have a point, I'm sure tons of peoples on this board secretly like hentai, I really don't tho, and I'm not gonna pretend to be a 'playa' cuz I aint, I do have a girlfriend but im way to shy to be a playa, and DUDE who the hell jerks off at anal sex, that's just discusting. But on this board you must remember that most people don't use their brains when they post, I know I don't most of the time, I just talk bullshit. so that's why you get that sort of responds(from me) get it?

not all otaku are the sick freaks you make us out to be.

Sorry there, Knight - I didn't mean to offend. But you see, 'Otaku' is (or began as) a highly deragatory term in Japan. You might want to look that up. The American anime fanbase seems to have co-opted it to some degree without really knowing what it meant, which believe me, is not 'someone who likes anime'. Otaku means 'your house' (or something close to that) in literal Japanese, and was first so applied because, well, these people don't leave their rooms much. The people who have literally thousands of peices of anime ? Hundreds of garage kits ? Can give you the skinny on everything Leiji Matsumoto ever touched but can't name their senator or cook a meal ? Those are otaku. Things always get funky when words used to describe niches of people are twisted around . . . take Hacker, for instance. What it means in the popular mind now cannot be reconciled with what it used to mean twenty years ago. So it is with Otaku. The 'third-wave' American anime fanbase seems a smidgen too eager to describe themselves as 'otaku' without knowing what that implies. Tell a twenty year old anime fan you are an otaku, and they'll say 'Me too!' Tell the same to a forty year old anime fan and they will quietly inch away. Fan or Fanboy/Fangirl or even Rabid Fan will suffice as positive or neutral descriptors in my lexicon. Otaku remains a term applied to those who have indefensibly shirked life in favor of . . . whatever.

Geek is a much better word then Otaku, don't you think?

Hentai is not truly a pornography or an art since art is in the eye of the beholder When you say that it is pornography though that is not true either. As is justifyable by the fact that the gov't does not regulate what can and cannot be viewed. So since neither argument is valid, drop it. If you're one who likes hentai (such as myself) go ahead and look at it. If you don't like it pretend it doesn't exist. Oh, and as for otaku having problems, I think you need to look at anime in the American socity. The word otaku only stands for one who likes anime unlike the japanese version of wierd dork. So when you say all otaku have problems, i take offence (^_^)
