50% of the porn in Japan is animated - is there a cultural reason for this?

How do you like the butt in OP? (Yes, it's the same butt in both images)

So if you show something like this in the west:

People will ask why you don't just look at "real porn" instead (because it's so real, right). But in Japan, this is not the case. Is there a cultural reason for this? And if yes, what is it?

Is this another thinly veiled butt thread ?

Asking for a friend.
I love butts, but I also love discussion that goes beyond the typical male "ugga bugga nice ass". It's extremely difficult to get an intelligent discussion about butts here, though. But I'm trying.

probably has to do with censored genitals, if even the real stuff is censored is it even real what you're seeing. in a weird way it levels the playing field and makes it all similarly desirable. everything is a mosaic.
Thank you for a well thought post that is anti ugga bugga. I remember people said hentai and tentacle porn actually originated because of the strict censorship to normal porn. Which mean censorship just makes everything way more freaky, because you can't stop the need - so to speak.

Not sure the exact reason, but the format isn't too different from regular anime either as they are also adapting a source material (eroge, doujinshi) at times, after all. Freedom of expression is greater, too.

Well there's that and some girls are actually into it interestingly enough.

A lot of fetishes and scenarios are almost impossible to film in real life, so they do it in animation.
For example, loli porn stuffs are mostly catering to child porn, but since they can't do it in reality, so they draw very small girls, and add an excuse like "she's 300 years old" to circumvent the problem.

I just realised that I'm yet to fap to Hentai.
This simply will not do, I must experience it.

Any good recommendations? I'd rather start tentacle and schoolgirl free. Do they all feature some kind of tentacle and/or schoolgirl?

Edit: Hold up. In the name of science, I just searched 'Hentai' on PornHub... The Hentai is censored??! What the fuck :messenger_tears_of_joy:
So the fact that the vag and balls are animated and, you know, not real at all isn't good enough. They then have to pixilate the animated nuts as well? Mind blown.

It's probably just a matter of culture like you suspected and tastes. For whatever reason, incest porn has blown up in the states every time I see those Pornhub infographics, which I don't understand at all - so something like that maybe?

Also, with animations, you can really explore some kinks without mentally/physically hurting anybody, and limits are off. If you want to find hentai about a guy fucking a female dragon while flying around, it probably exists.

Japanese censor genitals whether it be animated or regular adult video. Very rare to see uncensored Japanese porn in general, their have been a few hentai's that gotten uncensored releases but the majority is censored.

I knew that about regular porn but thought Hentai was exempt since it's all animated. Legitimately surprised me.

No way that is true unless you are counting adult manga books as "animated" and even then it seems unlikely. It is much cheaper and easier to film real adult movies than animate them.

That's just not true. People hide the fact that they get turned on by cartoons. There's definitely a stigma on hentai in Japan.
There is a demand for this stuff though, and so an industry has formed to cater to it.

Animated media in general is more popular in Japan. Where's in the west cartoons are for kids, there's isn't that much taboo about watching animated media as an adult in Japan.

I guess that could be one of the reasons its more prevalent there, although I'm guessing hentai is still something you keep to yourself.

Maybe the japanese are too shy to ask the ladies what perverted acts they want them to commit.

Remembers vid of asian lady suspended in aquarium.. taking a big poop.
 
I bet it's way cheaper in Japan to have a bunch of artists draw hentai, and even animate it than it is to produce a conventional pornographic film.

I suggest for you guys to watch The Naked Director, a Japanese series on Netflix about the porn industry there. It doesn't talk about Hentai but it's really cool to understand the landscape and it's a funny show.

Immoral sisters. Amazing animation. They're the snk of animation. It was done by elf corporation.

I've heard that hiring slimy tentacle monsters that can dissolve clothing and have appropriately shaped tentacle endings are hard to come by these days.

Infantilised & alienated society. Hideaki Anno explores all of this in Evangelion (the perfect and the most ironic medium for such exploration).

Y'all gaijins need Eva in your lives.
 
1000 year old woman in a 12 year olds body isn't pedo material if it's drawn.

This isn't a shitpost, i'm serious. The amount of dodgy cartoon kiddy shit that is either defended or not acknowledge as child porn is pretty fucked up.
 
I think it’s an ingenious gateway to lead kids into pornography. I know that’s how I started.

Besides, naked = art, sex = art. 🐒
