Hentai

Hentai (変態 or へんたい) is a Japanese word that, in the West, is used when referring to sexually explicit or pornographic comics and animation, particularly those of Japanese origin such as anime, manga, and computer games. The word hentai is a kanji compound of 変 (hen; "change", "weird", or "strange") and 態 (tai; "attitude" or "appearance"). The term is used as a shortened form of the phrase 変態性欲 (hentai seiyoku) meaning "sexual perversion". In Japanese slang, hentai is used as an insult meaning roughly "pervert" or "weirdo".

Hentai is also a sick, perverted, peadophilic business and if you watch hentai I would advise not too. It includes videos of kids cartoon minors having sexual intercourse and it includes an exadurated amount of sexual hardcore tension that can only be thought, not done. I for one has seen hentai and I know that it's disgusting. To sum hentai up it is... Watching an animated version of a perverted peadophile raping a minor or an adult. Some sick people find it horny to watch a young girl crying whilst giving oral sex or being painfully raped by anal sex. And why is it legal? Because it's animated. It's sick and if child porn was legal I bet you they would change hentai into child porn. Not all Hentai is child porn, it can be adults enjoying sex and some people prefer watching an animated version of porn instead of a real woman being exploited, and I totally understand that, but people who watch child porn hentai are sick, because they want to watch minors being raped but they want to do it legally so they don't go to prison. Sick Sick Sick, I for one have been helped out of porn by 3 great individuals, who would like to be kept off the web and they have helped me see and feel the freedom that I have from porn. If you watch any kind of porn, real or animated you need help, I know this is so cliche, but it destroys you, and don't be like me when I said... Ooh, I'm mature enough to watch it, it does not destroy me., because I was so wrong but now I'm out of it and I live life happily with my family. Remember figure out the truth... Is porn really good? Do you regret it? Can you receive mercy? Everyone has some mercy in their lives they just need to claim it. Here's a hint, you can only receive mercy physically. See ya!

The English use of hentai is more similar to the way the Japanese use the slang term エッチ (H or ecchi), which refers to any sexually explicit content or behaviour. The Japanese seldom use the term hentai to refer to pornography in Japan. Instead, terms such as 18-kin (18禁, literally "18-prohibited"), meaning "prohibited to those not yet 18 years old", and seijin manga (成人漫画, "adult manga") are used. Less official terms also in use include ero anime (エロアニメ), ero manga (エロ漫画), and the English acronym AV (for "adult video").

Demographics
As with other forms of Japanese pop-culture media, publishers of erotic media target material to specific demographic groups. For manga, the most typical divisions are:

Types which are pornographic by definition

 * ero-manga or seijin (成人, literally "adult"), aimed at (presumptively heterosexual) men
 * ladies' comics (redīsu komikku or redicomi), originally meaning any manga for adult women (see josei) but now often applied specifically to pornographic manga for women

Types which often (but not necessarily) contain pornographic content

 * gei comi or menslove (ML), often called bara in the West, for gay men
 * Yaoi (boizu rabu or BL), predominately aimed at the shōjo and josei markets (also see below)
 * teen's love (TL), a more explicit type of shōjo romances, likewise aimed predominantly at the shōjo and josei markets
 * Yuri or girls' love (GL), which has long been a component of both men's ero-manga and shōjo gender-exploration but has more recently arisen as a genre in its own right, in both seijin and josei flavors (also see below)
