Anime Porn.........I don't understand

[Tiamat]

Ok. I just don't get it. I mean really....a cartoon?!?!?

I understand the theory behind porn etc....yes I know that men are visual creatures and women tend to go for the more emotional attachment. I also understand the porn issue....it's just something guys do. And yes I know women do it to. Why I myslef have even been known to take a peek or two however, I do not understand why or how someone can "get off" or be arroused by a cartoon. It is after all a DRAWING!!

I've had it explained to me recently that basically the wind can blow up against their "little buddy" and men can get arroused. Is this the same principle? Does looking at a cartoon in a sexual way become stimulating? I just can't seem to get past the fact that it isn't real.....but a drawing. Yes I know porn isn't real either or at least the stories aren't but it is live people flesh and blood and not a drawing.

If that's the case maybe I'd better give Elmer Fudd a second look

I wondered this myself.

Drawn porn has much to do with repelling the possibilities of filmed porn. It allows much more flexibility in the story and the fantasies. You might want to check out Manara, a famous Italian author of porn comics : an imaginative storyline and bizarre fantasies make it arousing for all tastes.

I think drawn porn calls a similar public than porn stories : people who get aroused by a unusual context to having sex (to some extent, you'll find such unusual circumstances in the storyline of normal porn movies)

Some people are strange. What can I say?

[Tiamat]

But....but....but.......it's a drawing.

It's difficult to get the tentacles just right in real life. They always seem to be too rubbery.

What about a painting? Surely they are erotic paintings, yet they are simply still pictures.

What about books? Don't some women find books arousing, like bodice rippers, just in how they present ideas?

Why then is cartoon porn so hard to understand?
A cartoon is a medium, same as painting, or writing.

I don't understand either. I saw an anime picture of a woman being rogered by a giant bug on a documentary the other day. Kafka aside, that seems to be a bit weird.

[Tiamat]

Alright I'll give you that there are paintings. I guess I should specify. I came across something in looking for some good anime and it wound up being an anime of a girl on a public street talking to a little kid and then all of the sudden.......you got it.....

"oh I don't know what's come over me I feel so strange" and of course right there on the city streets in public with people watching she proceeds to...how shall I tactfully put this.....pleasure herself fingers and all.

So porn isn't that believable but how many porn movies or actors do you see taking care of business on a public street with onlookers and a child. See that's where I had the problem. And it's a drawing!!

hentai =

[Tiamat]

That's it that's the word that was attached to it. What does that mean?

[monkspider]

It is Japanese for pervert.

[Tiamat]

And there you have it! I rest my case. But I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who thought it was just a bit.....well.....odd.

[Ben Kenobi]

Alright I'll give you that there are paintings.

What about the bodice rippers?

[Tiamat]

I'm a little out dated I guess but I'm not sure what that is other then what it sounds like.
