Well, I’m sort of wondering how best to do this thing. So I am going to just write it in the typical rambling style and trying to hit on things I think are important and write out blah blah. Like I did with my old doujinshi reviews.

First off, thanks a ton to Icarus Publishing for the book. It was put to paper by the fabulous Tuna Empire. The print quality is top notch. You know, all that stuff. Here’s the info block.

Well, first off, the art is really fantastic. I’ve always been a big fan of artist that are capable of portraying the softness of women, when they are soft, that is. The curves of the ladies and the way their various part mash to together. It’s wonderful. Now when I was looking through the book to try to find a solid genre to put it in, I was rather hard pressed to get it. Let’s run the list here. There’s clearly some nipple fetishism, there’s femdom, there’s futa, there’s group sex, chikan, lots of anal play, yuri. The list proably goes on a bit more, but that’s not going to give you an idea of what goes on.

Review: The Spirit of Capitalism

Itou Sayuri is a new office lady at a company with some rather interesting company policies. Well, let’s take the uniform for example. The vest doesn’t cover the breasts, there is no skirt to speak of, and women’s name tags are worn through the nipple. Just like the company I work at. Basically the story goes that the office ladies are in charge of keeping up productivity by blowing all the guys in the office any time they get a hard on. Through the course of things, the ladies take advantage of each other as well. Good stuff. The only chapter that really felt sort of out of place was the train chapter. Things just sort of seemed not to fit in, and it felt more like wish fulfillment that anything else. That is not to say it wasn’t super hot. The chapter eye catch (or whatever you call it) was the hottest in the entire book , hands down.

That is what I imagine all of you are thinking right now. Yes, Onii-chan is back. And this time, things are going to work a little differently. Instead of just talking about sociological and psychological issues and meanings in erotic Japanese media and the people who like them, you know, the shit that I built this site for originally, we’ll be cutting down on the hyper porn and try to keep things classy. In fact, we’ll be talking about feminism in erotic anime and stuff. We’ll also be jumping into homosexual themes and talking about the stereotypes and culture of objectification created by the complacency bred of commonly seeing groups demeaned in these erotic artforms.

For a more in depth sample of things, hit the jump and we’ll go over some stuff.

Not sure how closely you folks follow the ero scene in the US. It’s a pretty depressing thing. John Sirabella, the CEO of Media Blasters has posting on Anime on DVD admitting that their Kitty branded release of Chikan Monogatari has had ten minutes of footage removed because characters in the scene were “obviously under-age and it was too much for us.” Despite this, they marked their boxes as Uncut and Uncensored. Nice. At least don’t lie, man. Come on. But, hey, let me say it’s nice of you to leave the fight against blatantly unconstitutional laws up to the people who can’t afford legal representation. Then, you look at the full post for this issue and see the people pointing out the obviously ridiculous nature of the cut, since they’ve previously shows with “underage” characters. Sorry to politicize here, but welcome to the American police state. Thanks a ton, puritanical government! Thanks for saving those totally real animated girls from harm. Jack asses.

Please express your feelings in the comments and by sending along a complaint to customer@media-blasters.com. I’m sure they’ll appreciate your concern.

Ask Onii-chan: John on Loli

My close personal friend… haha. We don’t talk. I mail him sometimes to congratulate him on a kick ass post, but anyway, John, of AnimeNation’s Ask John recently posted a very eloquent explanation of loli in the more general sense. It’s not porn, and I’m not going to bother posting porn in this post, I’m just going to recreate the question and answer here. Thanks for permission, John and AnimeNation. Buy some of their shit, people.

I don’t know if this is too scandalous a question for Ask John, but what titles would you recommend to watch as the best lolita anime?

In regards to the scandalous potential of any qualitative or critical discussion, I believe that excess anxiety over possible vilification or rejection hobbles the potential for education and analysis. If the “Lolita” theme is too taboo to discuss, it will never be understood. So I’m not afraid to discuss the genre, but I would like to approach this question with a personal objective. Simply providing a list of recommendations for erotica involving young looking characters wouldn’t be difficult, and I don’t believe in moral objections to objective qualification of the genre, but since the question posed isn’t specific, I’d prefer to answer with mainstream examples. Readers searching for examples of pornographic Lolita anime need look no farther than domestic releases like Little Monica Story, Magic Woman M, and Kite, or to imports such as the two Lolita Anime series, Imouto Jiru, and Cream Lemon: Yumeiro Bunny.

Instead, I’d like to concentrate on an exploration of the Lolita anime genre in mainstream anime by citing examples that reveal the breadth and appeal of the genre. Especially within American anime fandom, the prevailing opinion is that Lolita anime is depraved and immoral. I think that opinion is instinctive, thoughtless, and reactionary. Lolita characters are tremendously popular among Japanese fans. Self-referential anime including Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and Genshiken even overtly state that little sister characters are an integral characteristic of (contemporary) anime. I believe that Lolita characters are cute and appealing similar to the way puppies, kittens, and koala bears are cute. Things that are petit, soft, and innocent are adorable. I don’t believe that theory is a sexist objectification of women because Lolita anime characters are fictional creations, not people. They are an artistic personification of the same spirit of cuteness that resides in puppies, except they act like human beings. In that sense, I can discuss a few of the anime series which best exemplify Lolita characters and the diverse types of anime that constitute Lolita anime.

Card Captor Sakura is the ideal example of Lolita anime. Sakura Kinomoto is a literal younger sister. She’s sweet, kind-hearted, and innocent, but also independent and responsible. Her constant outfit changing puts her in a steady cycle of adorable costumes for viewers to critique and rate. Her personality and her adventures are specifically designed to make viewers adore her, cheer for her, empathize with her, and want to look after her. The Card Captor Sakura anime doesn’t encourage any sexual objectification of its cast; the show literally makes viewers love its little girl protagonist.

The Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series is Lolita anime specifically designed for adult male viewers. The series is a loosely affiliated spin-off from an erotic anime series, and its two television series were broadcast late at night for adult viewers, despite including no sexuality. Lyrical Nanoha, and its spiritual ancestor D4 Princess, are Lolita fighting anime. D4 Princess was possibly the first Lolita themed anime to feature bone crushing fights and character deaths. The Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A’s series ratchets up the action with intense magic battles and massive collateral damage between cute but steel-willed pre-adolescent girls. If Card Captor Sakura exemplifies the cute and sweet side of Lolita characters, Lyrical Nanoha A’s reflects the determined, loyal, and righteous urgency of the Lolita character.

Ichigo Marshmallow is a defining example of the placid, naturalistic side of Lolita anime. The “Strawberry Marshmallow” anime details the everyday lives of happy and cute pre-adolescent Japanese girls. Nothing in particular ever happens, leaving the appeal of the show in just sharing time with these little women. They’re young enough to not yet be preoccupied by boys or fashion, yet the anime slyly acknowledges their developing womanhood by including occasional suggestive scenes and imagery, such as showing the girls bathing, and using hips and butts as eyecatch images.

Series including Sailor Moon, Pretty Cure, and Akihabara Cyber Team don’t immediately create the impression that they’re Lolita anime since their characters don’t seem like pre-adolescents, but all three of these series are shows starring young girls which were very popular with adult viewers. Sailor Moon featured long legged teenage girls in short skirts and school uniforms, and also overtly dealt with romantic relationships. Pretty Cure, particularly the Pretty Cure Max Heart series, was specifically designed to appeal to both preadolescent girls and adult male viewers. Akihabara Cyber Team was initially designed as a series for preadolescent girl audiences, but reportedly eventually became most popular with young adult male viewers. Sailor Moon was the series that virtually single-handedly made America aware of the existence of anime that featured attractive and appealing young girl stars. The Sailor Moon anime itself doesn’t sexually fetishize its characters, but its ensemble cast and complex story made it acceptable for male viewers to watch a cartoon about teenage girls. Pretty Cure took the Sailor Moon formula and added the masculine martial arts of Dragon Ball Z. Akihabara Cyber Team contained obvious fan service, but also illustrated the theme of young girls being the origin of voluptuous adult women. The Akihabara Cyber Team television series illustrates the girls’ proxies growing into adult women. In the motion picture, two of the girls themselves reach the status of physically developing from children into fully formed adult women. Magical girl anime including Creamy Mami, Fancy LaLa, and Full Moon wo Sagashite deal with girls magically maturing, but these series are specifically shoujo anime while Akihabara Cyber Team is an action show that specifically seeks to reach male viewers.

I won’t try to argue that any of these series are among the very best anime ever made, although most of them are pretty good. I think these particular shows significantly contribute to an understanding of the characteristics and appeal of mainstream Lolita anime. These examples validate the Lolita theme as a distinct anime trend that is not inherently immoral or prurient. Lolita anime can be sexual, but it can also, evidently, be cute, fun, and even emotionally resonant. There are other Lolita themed anime which may be nicer looking or more complex than shows like D4 Princess and Akihabara Cyber Team, such as Petopeto-san, Negima!?, and Tsukuyome, but I think the shows which I’ve discussed in detail are ones which best reveal the characteristics of Lolita anime. In other words, these shows are among the best defining representations of mainstream Lolita anime.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Now IMMA GO! Please visit AnimeNation and buy their stuff and check out John’s Ask John feature. It’s fun.

Yubisaki Milk Tea

Now, I’m not in the habit of doing this, but I’ve been considering it for a while, and a record number of WHINERS have been WHINING at me to post something up. So here we are. I’d just like to point fans of good stories and a more mature (read: not typical teenage crap) manga in the direction of TOKYOPOP’s US release of Yubisaki Milk Tea. It’s put forward in all of it’s lewd and twisted goodness.

The art is wonderful. It’s a sort of sketchy and yet beautiful and fitting style. I would classify it as smooth and subdued. It really fits the tone of the manga properly. So, what’s the tone of the manga? Well, conflict. The story follows the clearly disturbed Yoshinori in his life which revolves mainly about the complications of continuing to cross-dress after puberty and the awkward emotional issues that come along with having a younger girl be in love with you. Well, there’s that, and then there’s the classmate who only loves Yoshinori as his cross-dressing alter ego, Yuki. Oh, and it only gets worse and more complicated from there.

At any rate, whenever I’m reading the manga, I feel quite nice about it. It’s hard to describe, you know? It’s that sort of feeling you get when you’re just reading something that’s done properly. When you pick up a book that really clicks with you and is effortless to move through. That’s this sort of book to me. And, well, I’m sick of writing about it. So head out and pick up a copy, or head over this way to get a sample of the style and some blotted story bits. I am going to go to sleep or something. Au revoir. Whiners. I will do another Ask Onii-chan later.

Oh, and if anyone knows a GOOD artist who is willing to talk to me about some commissioned work, I would be much obliged. I don’t have a fuck ton of money, but I have lots of readers! And some money! Etc, etc. Yeah, so let me know. And I mean REALLY good people. High quality stuff like the sort of things in the banner and such. Shoot me a line on the contact page.

Maybe you will accuse me of posting a misdirectional title. Well, you’re an asshole. Fuck you. YOU KNEW WHAT THIS WAS! Ahem. Well, yes it may have been a bit since my last post. Work is kicking my ass. Well, whatever, it’s time I got back on the posting wagon and gave you guys something to read. Oh, and please vote in the new poll. Haha. It’s relevant. Anyway, I got a curios pair of questions that are very similar to each other and… wow. Yeah. Interesting questions. Here they are:

Im into this anime hentai stuff at, what I would consider, a young age. Is this something I should be concerned with? Do you think it will affect me in any way in the future?

And:

Hello. I am 15 years old, and really like hentai. However, I am wondering if it’s OK for me to be looking at Hentai, as I’m underage, and it technically is illegal for me to look at pornography. However, I really enjoy it, and I don’t want to stop. Do you think this is acceptable? I’m really torn between what to do. My mum caught me a few times, but dealt with it in a nice way, but if she finds out again, she might get really cross.

P.S. Is lolita hentai illegal? I live in the United Kingdom and I’m not sure if it is.

Alrighty! Well, first up. Lolita. Long, long ago I did a series of posts about the legality of loli in various places. In the UK specifically, there are laws in place that could make loli actionable to have, but no one has ever been brought up on loli related charges. Most of those laws tend to be unconstitutional in that loli has artistic merit and because of the whole inability to define what is lewd and such. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Especially if you’re not selling it or molesting kids or whatever. As such, molesting kids is disgusting and if you ever do, I hope you’re drawn and quartered.

As to the main questions we have here, “am I too young to enjoy hentai,” well, I think it’s a fairly simple answer outright. If you are enjoying hentai and masturbating to it, then you’re quite obviously old enough to enjoy it. This might go against the grain on the major tenants of lots of societies, but society tends to be based on silly ideas of protecting “children” from the dangers (according to the Judaic religions) of sex and etc, etc. I generally consider these things to be ridiculous, especially considering the recent arrest of a 15 year old girl for taking pictures of herself naked and sending them around on the net. She was charged with possession of Child Porn and Child Molestation and some other shit. Ridiculous. Anyway, these sort of things ignore the obvious developmental age of sexual awareness in humans. I’d absolutely say that it’s fine to look at porn before legal adulthood. It’s ridiculous to imagine otherwise. SHAME ON YOU GOVERNMENTS!

Anyway, do I think it’s acceptable? Yes. And I think it’s perfectly normal. Of course, mothers tend not to be too keen on repeatedly seeing their kids jerking it, so it might serve you well to try to not get caught. It’s not that hard, man. Come on. Stopping would be denying yourself something you enjoy without any real reason. So I say go for it.

As to the second part of question one, well, ahem, will it cause problems in the future? I guess that depends a lot on you. If you’re going to parlay it into real life fetishes that you’re not ok with, then yes. If you pick a girlfriend who can’t deal with it, it will be an issue. You should be ok with yourself and all of the things that you enjoy. But like I said, that’s really on you. People who don’t come to terms with the things they like that aren’t necessarily widely accepted tend to have more issues that arise from it. You need to be honest with yourself and like who you are, just like anything else.

Are you young and like hentai? Got caught as a kid? Advice for these two guys? Well, post a comment and tell us what you have to say. Every little bit helps.

What would Onii-chan do? Well, he would call Six a lazy bastard to start with. Lazy bastard. Let me also say that I am glad to all of you for the good questions. And sorry about the font. I forgot to reinstall it on the new laptop. I have a log of about six that I will be getting through over the next little while. And if you just like anime in general, check out the new feature at my other site called ikiKOYOMI. It’s a release tracker for non-ero stuff. Anyway, let’s move on to the touchy subject of jerking and Jesus.

I started getting into hentai, and I like it, but my family is very religious so anytime I watch hentai, I feel guilty. I’m not doing anything wrong, am I?

P.S. I mention religion because I was caught once and got a talking of being condemned to HELL! Yeah, they’re pretty strict.

Well, let me just be forward about things and offer up that I don’t buy into the whole religion thing. I see it as a crude social control mechanism and suggest anyone with questions visit any of the useful and informative links about the subject. Not to criticize. Moving along.

This question is a little dicey. While, in short, no, you aren’t doing anything wrong, there are fairly clear rules against such things in your religion. So let’s expand upon this idea. The first one. Firstly, sexual curiosity is perfectly normal and masturbation is not only fun and safe, it’s good for you. Orgasms do all sorts of wonderful things to the body, which is why your body wants them to feel so good. I suppose there is the moral argument, but most moral qualms come from the heavy Christian influence in the world, which isn’t based on any logic, but rather based on the need to control the thoughts of people thousands of years ago, moreso in a protestant country like America. Sex and masturbation have been vilified, but there is no real reason to think of them this way.

So, I suppose it is more of a question that you need to ask for yourself. What makes you happy? I think, personally and without regard for religion, that being happy with yourself is paramount. If you are happy looking at hentai, then there is no good reason to feel guilty. The same applies for anything so long as it isn’t affecting other people. I mean, you’re here for 80 years or so, give or take, and then who knows? So I think any god that may exist should at least be ok with you making yourself happy without hurting other people. If it isn’t, then you’re better off in whatever hell they have prepared anyway, because most “devout” people do shit that is openly abhorred by their own religion. I say don’t worry, be happy. And download that song. Because it’s awesome.

As always, I hope this was helpful, and if anyone more religion than me has some good advice, please post it in the comments to help out. Thanks, guys.

Hey, here I am again. Send me a mail if you have any questions about anything.

I hope you will all forgive me the horrible post title. I couldn’t help myself. Also, I hope you folks like the new layout. Be sure to let me know. And today, I will play the gender bending Onii-chan and answer a question from a girl. Now, before you guys get too excited, she might be gay. But that’s what I’m here for. Onii-chan makes it all better.

Hi Onii-Chan,

Im a girl and I like hentai especially futanari (the ones with both). I am beginning to think that 1. I am a lesbian and 2. I am a pervert. I am ashamed to talk to even my liberal friends about it. Is it okay for a girl to like hentai for the girls and not necessarily a lesbian?

A fair question! Let’s start with the first bit, as it is a fairly short answer, and work forward from there. So, firstly, no you are not a lesbian. As I have said before, in most cases I have seen, 2D fetishes come from a far different place than 3D interests, and I’ve seen a good number of cases (friends, mind you) in which there are girls that even prefer yuri hentai to other forms. It’s not uncommon for an open minded girl, by any stretch. Especially when you add the masculine aspects into the equation. So, I mean, that’s that. I don’t think you’re gay, especially if you still like dudes. Of course, if you are, that’s something you need find out for yourself anyway. Of course, there’s also being bi. Also, grabbing the last question, it’s absolutely ok for girls to like futanari and yuri and all that sort of female-centric ero and not be a lesbian.

Moving on. Are you a pervert? Well, this question… a-ha… I’d say it has two real answers depending on how you’d like to look at what a pervert is. On the outside, a lot of perverts are the sort of people who make other people uncomfortable with their own comments and actions, such as talking about sexual stuff in detail around people who clearly don’t want to know what you’re… you know… girl-jerking it to. On the other side of the coin, the things you are looking at are indeed perverse and the people you tell about them will likely consider that to be perverted. But everyone gets off to their own stuff, so it’s just a sort of innate bias that we apply to people because we want to pretend to we are above them morally or that we just don’t want to try to identify with the things they like. So that’s how that is. To me? No, you’re not a pervert. To lots of other people? Maybe so. But again, it’s no one’s business what you are in to. Sexual things are private, after all.

Let me use that to segue into the last bit I am going to discuss here. Being ashamed to talk to anyone about hentai is pretty normal. We’re part of a pretty niche group, especially when you consider futanari. I’ve personally found VERY few people who “get” futanari, so talking to friends about it is something that the more reactionary friends may take rather drastically. I could see friends thinking it’s weird and maybe not being able to get over it. But then they weren’t your friends to begin with… or whatever. Anyway, you can’t always expect people to share your fetishes (especially as diverse as the subgenres are in hentai), but if you really want to have someone to talk to about it, Six and I are around. Haha. And barring that you can always “happen” to browse to some futanari and judge their reaction. Although, some futa fans get into a habit of pretending not to like it to people so maybe test the waters subtly. If you can’t be subtle then just bring it up and say “Well, I like it.” and just stick to your guns and explain what you like about it. It’s good to try to think of specifics, as always. Things about how it’s the best of both worlds. The softness of a woman and the masculinity of a man. There’s a lot of attitude presented in lots of futa pictures, so be sure to pay attention to shots you like and thing of specifics. Confidence tends to help people swallow things they might find weird. Keep in mind, though, that this stuff is a private thing and you can always just not tell “real” friends and keep it to people online that you already know share somewhat similar interests.

As I always say, I hope this was helpful. And again, anyone who has similar stories and advice, please share it with us BECAUSE IT’S HELPFUL.

Onii-chan is getting sick of writing these damn things for himself… it would make a lot of sense for him to just make a single one to copy over and over. Well, either way, be sure to shoot him an e-mail if you have ANY questions about anything. He loves you all.

So, new layout. Took me a few hours to hack something together off of unsleepable, which is a theme… it’s got some stupid footer shit. Feel free to ignore it. The quickpoll will be up until tomorrow night and then I will pull it down and put the futanari poll back up. I guess it is Friday now in most of the world, but to hell with it, I was busy. OK?! So I will be doing my Thursday/Friday Ask Onii-chan now. Today’s question is:

Should I tell my parents that I look at hentai?

Is this a serious question, some of you might be asking? I don’t know, but hey, I will work on the assumption that it is, as I grew up in the bible belt and a lot of people felt that there were things that their parents needed to know that their parents obviously either didn’t want to know or liked to pretend their kids never did. But let me move along to the things I see as the root of this question.

I think this question is coming from the same sort of standpoint (not exactly the same) as being a closeted gay person. I think that maybe there is some burning need to express to people you care about that you feel passionately about something. I could be off base there, but that’s just the sort of vibe I get from people who generally want to seek the approval of a loved one. It does offer a very deeply ingrained form of validation to have your parents hear about things you feel strongly about and approve, but this also sort of points to what I would consider to be a general lack of independence.

As to the immediate question, no, I do not thing that you should bring this up to your parents, and the reason for this is a fairly simple reason. Ask yourself this: Do your parents WANT to know that you watch hentai? Do parents EVER want a catalogue of the pornography that their children are consuming? I highly doubt it. More to the point, if your parents are not the understanding sorts, it could lead to all sorts of home problems that just aren’t necessary. You’d be burdening yourself with something that wholly doesn’t concern your parents, much like your bedroom manner with a specific girl. Should you tell your parents that you just tried anal for the first time? No. Basically, I can’t think of a single thing either party gains from this newfound and highly intimate knowledge.

What things do I think ARE important to you to take from this answer? I would have to say that you need to consider the information flow that you share with your parents, as in the current mindset you could in up in a very, very dependent relationship with them which could lead to issues when you finally do want to break out on your own. I’ve seen firsthand the sorts of awkward situations people end up in when they don’t form a solid shield between child/parent and adult/parent relationships. I’ve known 28 year old men who get told what to do by their parents from across the country. It’s not a good state of affairs, and it’s something you will want to make sure you avoid like the plague going forward. Supposed you have very laid back parents, this advice runs a bit differently, since they will likely respect your independence to begin with.

Also, just to cover the bases here, if you actually DO insist on telling your parents, I can only say that you shouldn’t at all be surprised at odd or negative reactions and the possibility of getting into some amount of trouble if your parents are the type who run the rail against sexual interests. I would say that the best way to do the whole thing would be to bring it up in a relaxed atmosphere when the conversation could be deemed relevant. One thing I would stress above all else, however, is that you DO NOT go into any sort of detail. Do not bring up specific fetishes, do not bring up visual aids, just give a cursory overview of what the whole thing is and possibly some logically sound reasons for enjoying it (they are women who are drawn to be visually pleasing, they look much more interesting than real woman, and that sort of thing). I mean, don’t start the one man show about 2D porn. Just, if you’re probed about it, then give details. Otherwise, just mention it. If things turn south, which is possible, you will likely want to stick to a line of replies that focus on the positive aspects of WHY you brought it up, and nothing defending the art form itself. Defending the art will just dig the whole if they’re already against it. Say things along the lines of “I just wanted to tell you because it’s something that I like and has an impact on me and I wanted you, my parents, to know about me and things I am passionate about.” Again, I’d recommend against this course of action anyway. Just thought I’d give you my two cents on that, since it has certainly crossed your mind.

I hope this was helpful, and again, if anyone has any stories or comments related to this question, please feel free to post them up in the comments.

Onii-chan is, once again, writing his own thing telling you to fucking contact him and ask questions. He loves you guys, but by god you don’t send enough questions. He’ll be doing updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays if he gets questions that are good enough to answer. If he doesn’t, he’ll just say bollocks to the lot of you and go yank a rubbery one.

So, I got a few mails. A good start, but they sucked, except for one, and it will be answered now in the first installment of Ask Onii-chan. This first question is one that I think a lot of us will identify with:

How can I get my Japanese live in girlfriend to accept that I love oppai hentai??

She was vehemently opposed to 2D hentai-art when we started seeing each other so I dropped it but now im sick of sneaking a glimpse of a 2D breast on the side.

Certainly this is a painfully rough first question to ask, but I will accept this trial by fire and do my best!

I think the first thing we need to establish here is that the milage on this answer will vary from woman to woman and their own ability to be rational about what it is that you’re telling them. It is important that you have good communication in the relationship already and that you don’t feel uncomfortable having a serious discussion about the subject. Not ’sex talk with Daddy’ serious, but an objective sort of debate. Clearly, the answer here is not “I WILL WANK MY CRANK TO THIS 2D BITCH AND THAT’S THAT” or you will be sleeping outside or worse.

So, moving on to the steps of a possible solution here: Firstly, it’s important to sort of familiarize her with the subject matter. Being as she’s Japanese, there’s a fair chance she knows part of the score. This is both good and bad as she may already have ideas about the sort of people who like hentai. The important part in this early sort of stage is going to be differentiating yourself from the perverts on the train every day. You want to give her context. The best idea here, I think, would be to sort of casually browse boards you know have some scantily dressed ladies that don’t go overboard. It’s a good defense tactic as you’re NOT looking at porn, but it can also be a way to open up conversation.

The main conversational point here is going to be “Why are you into that 2D crap anyway?” to which you can have a few replies, but this is why it needs to be sort of a debate. I’d recommend countering with a question to get the heat off of you and steer it into an actual conversation. Ask her what she finds so repulsive about it or what have you and lead into things about the baseline of male nature that sort of unconsciously draws us towards things that are specifically patterned to represent the ideal female form, or really most any female form. (Sorry ladies, it’s true.) Making assertions about females in this space is going to be risky and you’ll likely want to bite your tongue about any of it. Seriously, don’t be manly. “Manly” men don’t watch anything animated. I checked.

Anyway, moving on from this point, it sort of becomes a time thing. Just keep browsing and logically explain your case to her. Now, you may want to adopt my ideology about 2D which has helped me with girls more than once. Allow me to explain:

In my own time of enjoying 2D girls and anime and hentai and finding their females to be utterly entrancing at times, I have come to realize that what I like and look for in a 2D girl comes from a drastically different area of my brain than does that for 3D girls. They are not one in the same, and it’s something that girls can be very sensitive about as they may feel like the 2D girls are cutting into your passion for them. If this is the case, then you ARE wrong, and you should just be single. Seriously. If it is indeed like my case, you will find that the ability to enjoy, without fear of reprisal, your erotic 2D of choice can, in fact, ENHANCE your libido towards your significant other. I know it might seem weird to the ladies, but guys know what I mean. While women often see hentai as a replacement, it is more often a safe way to fulfill desires that 3D women simply CAN NEVER fulfill due to the rather static nature of the human form. I think that this release helps men to then properly concentrate on the ideals that we chose our 3D partner for without the hindrance of having 2D fetishism on the brain.

Again, this might vary from guy to guy, but I think it is a fairly common thing among 2D fans. We do love the 3D women we have for who and what they are, but there is a simple fact there that we do not find ONLY those women to be attractive. Personally, if I get the release of my 2D fetishes then I don’t much care for 3D women other than the one I am currently with, and it serves, in my mind, to highlight the reasons that I chose her. But back to the topic.

Hopefully that stuff I said up there rings a bit true, as it will give you the bulk of your reassuring discourse to hand to your girlfriend. Again, milage may vary, and don’t expect a magic bullet. These things take time, of course. However, let me be VERY clear that if you are just wanting 2D women to the point that you are neglecting your girlfriend, then you have some problems that aren’t very likely to be sorted out with talking and you should maybe start looking for someone who lights up your life in a way that 2D is something you enjoy, but the same rings true for your girlfriend.

And no, there is no girl pretty enough to make 2D not matter. Like I said before, this isn’t something we just decide to like. It’s something that arouses us on a very base level, and always will. The girl we are with doesn’t matter, it’s as much a part of the life of a hentai lover as cars or “normal” porn are to the football playing macho men.

Let me do a quick rundown of all of that again just to cover things concisely, as well as hit some other short points:

  1. Differentiate yourself from the common pervert. Remind her that you are you and not a train groper.
  2. It takes time and patience. You can’t rush a woman to understanding this idea. Just be calm and intelligent about it.
  3. If you are not properly tending to your girlfriend, RECONSIDER YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
  4. Understand your own enjoyment of hentai so that you can better explain it to her, since she hates it to begin with.
  5. If she gets mad, DO NOT get angry with her. This is your own thing and it’s not something she HAS to be comfortable with, especially right away.
  6. Avoid sexist (against women, man.) comments at all costs. It will make the entirely wrong argument.
  7. Don’t just drop the bomb on her. You HAVE to ease this idea in if she hates it to begin with.
  8. Lastly, be extremely happy that you aren’t into loli or futanari, because that shit is an uphill battle, even as hentai goes. Seriously.

So there you go. I’ve done my best to answer this one without personally knowing your girlfriend. You need to ease in THE ENTIRE hentai idea and then if oppai comes up in conversation, you need to be ready to explain what it is about it. The soft look, the subtle curves, the depiction of pale skin next to the nipple and of course all the sorts of things you can think of. Be matter of fact and don’t catch a nose bleed while describing it. It’ll make you seem like a lecherous old man.

I hope this has helped out, and if it didn’t explicitly, I hope it has at least given you some ideas to consider when starting the discussion. If not, my apologies. Thanks for the great question to start off what I hope will be a great new feature of the site. Please feel free to comment and add your own experiences as that shit is fun. YOU KNOW?

Anyone can ask Onii-chan anything. Just drop him a line via the Ask Onii-chan contact page and he will either answer the question to you directly, or will post it up on the site for everyone to see… minus personal information, of course.
