Hentai (? ??) About this listening sound (? ? I) is a Japanese word that means ‘pervert / perversion’ or ‘transformation / metamorphosis’. In addition, hentai is the name that receives the manga genre and anime pornographic content.
The number of pictures illustrating sexual activity in manga or anime hentai can vary greatly. It also varies the type of sexual activity and the characters involved, who are subject to very few restrictions when dealing with fictional characters.
The common meaning it has in the West comes from the Japanese use of ? ? ? (etchi, often written ecchi, Japanese approximation of the English pronunciation of the letter H), which is believed to be an abbreviated form of hentai used as euphemism in the years 60, although its origins are not completely clear, not even in Japan. The “H” in Japan is used to refer to any sexual content or activity (equivalent to the ‘X’ in the West), so “H manga” is manga with sexual content. However “H” and “hentai” are not synonymous, and you can not change one by another.
Japanese legislation
History of Japanese erotic art; The dream of the fisherman’s wife (1814).
Article 175 of the Japanese Penal Code prohibits the publication of “morally harmful” material, which as currently interpreted includes exposure of the genitals, so it is common to see a bar covering the genitals or the fuzzy genitalia. Before 1994, the interpretation of this law included the prohibition of exposing pubic hair, a rule that was eluded drawing characters without pubic hair.
However, this has caused another problem when hentai videos were distributed to places like Europe and the United States. As the characters in the anime look younger than the characters of the same age in Western cartoons, this gave some the impression that the videos contained child pornography.
One less well-known fact is that Japanese censorship is very strict regarding the drawings on sexual activity between humans and animals. Although it allows relatively free movements with imaginary monsters (that usually have the well-known phallic tentacles with In order to avoid the law concerning the genitals of truth), has been considered zoophilic sex with existing animals as something to be pursued.
