History Main / Hentai

{{Hentai}} (hen = 'weird', tai = 'perspective/view') is the [[LostInTranslation misinterpreted]] Japanese word for "pervert" or "perverted", and is used by the western world to describe sexually explicit {{anime}}, {{manga}}/{{doujinshi}}, video games (aka {{eroge}}), and other Japanese media of similar nature. Sometimes these can [[PornWithPlot have actual plots]], but much of the time they are as devoid of such a thing as most western pornography. Hentai material can focus on tender moments between high school students who are discovering passion together for the first time. It can be sweet, tender, and airbrushed, or it can be ghastly, gory, grotesque things that'd horrify a [[UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco Castro Street]] leatherdaddy.
