Hentai: what is that and what's it for?  


For many of those who began to get acquainted with anime and manga over the Internet, it hentai became their business card. Many might seem that apart from varying degrees of naked hentai lesbian with dildos and huge genitals in the variety of Japanese animation and manga nothing. Of course, this is wrong. Nevertheless, hentai in the anime and manga often, and brush it completely, probably is not worth it.

The word "hentai" (hentai, the correct spelling - "hentai" but "e" has prizhilas) with the Japanese language is translated as "perverted". In principle, it can be used in different senses, but outside Japan established its single value - "drawing erotica and pornography, both static and animated. Despite the fact that the Japanese "hentai" - the adjective, in the Russian language, it was rethought as a masculine noun. Accordingly, there and the adjective "hentains". Incidentally, known to all Russian-speaking ANIME Pennsylvania definition of anime as "Chinese porno cartoons” was precisely because of the fact that the time ago at the tape to the rest of it is often writes hentai. Perhaps, as this now a pleasant bonus. However, opinion is still long and probably will pursue all anime.

Hentai classification
There are two main categories of hentai: works that feature mainly heterosexual interactions (often abbreviated as "het"), and those that feature mainly homosexual interactions. This second group can be further split into yaoi and yuri subgroups. Yaoi refers to male homosexual pairings, and yuri to female homosexual pairings.
Yaoi commonly features males of ambiguous gender in both physical appearance and mannerism – called bishōnen, which literally means "beautiful boy". Some feature biseinen ("beautiful man"), males of more masculine appearance than bishōnen. Less common are bara – larger, often heavily muscled and sometimes hairy males, the yaoi counterpart of the "bear" in gay pornography – as well as oyaji (meaning "daddy" or "uncle"), featuring middle-aged and elderly men. Yaoi also extends beyond the (sexually explicit) hentai genre, since it is an applies to any anime/manga material that includes male homosexuality. It is, however, distinct from shōnen-ai (literally, "boy-love"), in which two males merely express romantic feelings for each other without actually having sexual relations. Women interested in Yaoi are called "Fujoshi" (腐女子), which means "rotten lesbian" or "rotten woman". Compare fag hag.
Yuri is very similar to yaoi, except that the focus is on female homosexual interactions, and the characters in a typical yuri illustration or animation tend to be far less realistic than are the males in yaoi. The characters in yuri are known as "bishōjo," meaning "beautiful girl". Shōjo-ai ("girl love") is a western term for the female equivalent of shōnen-ai; in Japan these works are also called yuri.
The scope of hentai encompasses the entire range of sexual fetishes, including:
Bakunyū, the depiction of women with large breasts. Literally translated to "bursting breasts".
Futanari, depictions of hermaphrodites or transsexuals that have both phallic genitalia (penis with scrotum, only a penal shaft, or an enlarged clitoris) and vaginal genitalia or a feminine hourglass shape including breasts and a penis plus scrotum.
BDSM, A spectrum of consensual sexual activities considered to be "kinky" or non mainstream, including such topics as power exchange (domination and submission), bondage, sadomasochism, spanking, etc.

Hentai media
Adult anime, or hentai anime, is anime that relies primarily on sex.
Adult manga, or hentai manga, is manga designed for purely pornographic purposes. Plot is still used to develop character and setting, but most of the time, the ultimate goal is to show scenes of sexuality with few exceptions. Adult manga is often sold in convenience stores, book stores, and magazine stores in Japan, and also other public places such as airports, and is far more prolific and accessible than the US adult comic book market. It is usually distributed in digest format, containing several stories by different artists. (e.g. An anthology.)
Adult CG artwork includes individual drawings by artists. Art can be available on websites, CD-ROMs, or in printed art books. CG artwork is used frequently in adult video games.
Adult video games, or eroge, are games with a pornographic element. They can include bishōjo games that involve character driven plots, and can exist as sex simulations.
Adult Dōjinshi, or H dōjinshi, refers to a type of work that uses copyrighted characters presented in sexual situations. It usually refers to printed manga, but can also refer to any type of visual work depicting copyrighted characters, including video games, animation, and CG artwork. Familiarity with a particular character or setting can add a sense of relating to the character over a generic character used in mainstream hentai, making dōjinshi more appealing to fans of a particular work. Despite not representing characters and licensed properties as intended, companies often view these works as a free form of license recognition and advertising through dedicated fandom. Some mangakas create hentai dojinshi with characters from their own manga, such as Kazushi Hagiwara, who himself created Bastard - Expansion, a pornographic dōjin with characters from Bastard!!.
In Western fanfiction circles, hentai-based works are popularly referred to as "lemon," based on a more popular hentai title called Cream Lemon. Fictions referred to as "Lime" are ones in which the characters do everything short of having sexual intercourse with each other. In Japan, the works may be referred to as "lemon" or "pink" ("pink" having sexual connotations similar to the term "lime" in the west).
