With just the click of a button, you will be transported into a world of pure indulgence. But there is another country out there in the world which we look up to. It is a country that prides itself on indulging themselves in the strangest types of pornography out there. It is Japan. And it is from within Japan that came one of the most popular forms of pornography, hentai.
Even though many other cultures and countries have animation and comic books for adults, there is no medium for adults that is as popular or consumed. So we asked ourselves: where did hentai come from, and what will its future be?
First, what does the word “Hentai” mean? It is the combination of the words “weird or strange,” and the word’ appearance.’ But it did not only just refer to sexual activities or fetish. Back when the word hentai first appeared in the Japanese language, it was used to refer to all kinds of taboo subjects like suicide, death, and mental illness. If it made the general population uncomfortable to think about it, then it was hentai. Now, in Japan, Hentai means a sexual fetish or something sexual that is dirty or unnatural.
Watch our HENTAI category.
Two people having normal sex in manga or anime is not hentai. But if there is BDSM, rape, or more than two people involved, then that is hentai. But the rest of the world has redefined the word to mean anything adult or sexual.
Early examples of Hentai in Japan
Many Japanese historians link the beginning of hentai all the way back to the 16th century. During the Heian period, an art style known as Shunga depicted many sexual and intimate situations with men, women, and even animals. It was an extremely popular art form that boomed to the point when the Shoguns of Japan started to suppress it. Because of the suppression, it eventually faded away. Luckily, many Shunga art pieces were not destroyed. When the shogunate fell, and Japan achieved unification, the popularity of Shunga did not arise again. When filmmaking and pornography reached Japan in the early 1900s, Shunga was completely replaced altogether and gone from the art and culture scene.
World War II and animation
And then, World War II happened, and Japan became much more Western after its defeat. Japan adopted many different Western Institutions, like how their society is organized and a Western-style of government. At the same time, The Japanese began to experiment with different mediums in order to tell their different stories about World War 2. Many of these animations dealt with the many feelings of World War II and the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. As regular animation grew, so did the demand and creation of animated hentai.
Recent history of hentai
In the 1960’s, hentai made a comeback as all of the new art was now targeted at men, and it was no longer used to reference non-sexual dark topics. It was at this time when animation started to boom in Japan. The first true hentai anime was a series called Lolita, and it had heavy themes and scenes that involved extreme situations, like rape. Although its mark is forever cemented in animation history, when it came out, many people and animators were against it and called for the series to be avoided. But it found popularity in some circles. A few spin-offs and sequels were made in the next few years.
One of hentai’s defining moments in history is the creation of an anime that featured tentacle sex. The anime was called Urotsukidōji, and it contained several scenes where women had sex with monsters. After the anime’s resounding success in Japan and overseas, four sequels were made.
In the seventies came the rise of the hentai video game. Another name for a hentai video game is an eroge. These eroge were so popular that it helped the PC98 become the dominating computer in the new computer industry. A few years later, romance games became popular as it allowed the player to choose a girl to seduce and have sex with over several levels, which was a welcome change from all of the low-grade mindless sex games of the eighties.
Current and Future Trends in Hentai
Now, there are thousands and thousands of hentai artists in Japan. And those artists produce millions of pages worth of hentai a year. It is a multimillion-dollar industry that has been booming for the last two decades. And now that animation is cheaper than ever, there is a new wave of animated hentai for adult consumers to watch.
Some people who are watching hentai trends state that virtual reality technology will soon be integrated into hentai animation and hentai video games. And more animation studios will use hentai anime to raise their profits.
But, hentai must be restricted and kept away from young viewers. The internet has made it much too easy for young children and middle school kids to find hentai shows and manga, and regular porn sites. Schools strictly monitor the child when they are on the internet and have parental controls to prevent them from watching or downloading hentai anime and manga.
Conclusion
No matter what medium exists, human beings will be able to invent an adult industry for it. Japan has given the world hentai, and it is now enjoyed all over the world. The adult manga, video game, and animation industries continue to grow in consumer demand and the number of titles. Erotic art and manga are based in Shunga, which is centuries old and almost completely forgotten because of the shoguns’ censorship. In the future, VR will be combined with hentai anime and video games. But children must be kept from finding hentai materials at home, and schools are doing their best to prevent it from happening on school grounds.
