How did YOU discover hentai?

that doesn't explain anything, how did you even know what hentai was in the first place?

It was in boarding school. I was in 9th Grade.
(Dorms consisted of Year level groups of about ten students with two Seniors to 'Take care of the kids' per dorm)

Anyways, one weekend evening our Dorm was bored and our Playstation was confiscated because we pissed off the Dorm Master, and so one of my Dorm's Seniors decided it'd be more productive for us to watch most of his collection of Porn projected onto a wall. Some of which was explained to me as being called 'Hentai'.

And then Google led me all over the Vast internet and then I found Fakku. Hoorah!

hmm that got me thinking how did i discover hentai? But i guess its because over time when i was watching anime there was some hentaish parts in them so i got curious and started google things that where related to sex etc and put anime in it, eventually i found the word hentai so i googled that and started finding a crap load of it.

like a decade ago my cousin had some on his computer and I stumbled upon it

when i was 14 me and a friend googled up some DBZ wallpaper.the first site we saw said dbzxxx...we were ignorant back then and thought it was a new level of super saiyan but when we clicked it the first pic we saw was SS gohan doin mini moon(from sailor moon anime)and we just stood there dumbstuck for a minute or two then my friend had a....um tantrum saying it was a disgrace to saiyans and left.I on the other hand was captured by the dark side of anime and the rest is history...that's why i'm here now.

I don't remember how old I was, but I think I was around 13 and then I had already been watching Anime for a long time, and I saw some show whit nudity in it, can't for the life of me remember witch show it was, but it might have been Mermaid Forest. Did some research and found out that nude Anime was called Hentai, crude translation but it worked for me back then, and I searched for it on the every web I could find Internet wasn't that big for sharing back then , but there where quake-net and dal-net irc related stuff. And I found this brand new show called La blue Girl , and oh how I hated it and loved it at the same time... since then I was hooked on Hentai to and this was around 15 years ago.

When I was 12, I went on newgrounds and saw some anime porn ad and clicked on it. Little did I know I was about to get a trojan...and fall into the world of hentai lolz.

I was maybe 10, some friends and I were discussing the "miracles of the female body" and one of them mentioned hentai. I looked it up and was hooked. I eventually found FAKKU!, which is probably the best site I've ever discovered.

I found it through the internet, why would your friends ever openly admit they watch hentai?

I first discover hentai through a website called narutoxxx i was browsing the net for some hot sakura pictures instead of typing sexy sakura i accidentally typed sex sakura tehn a lot a of links were shwon but the one that got my attention was narutoxxx and there began the cravings for hentai
thank you

I used to watch lots of anime and had two friends that I often shared series with (you know, the usual "Have you seen this? It's actually really good!"). One of them mostly watched humorous stuff and came up with "Green Green TV". From there the step to hentai was quite small xD

There I was... The fall of 2004...I was playing Yugioh in sixth grade during lunch. When this 8th grader came up to me, and showed me a copy of Love Hina!!!! I took the book and read it in secrecy because it was rated T for teens and I saw things i shouldnt have. Then when I was in class the English teacher asked us to put on our desks what novels we were reading. I didnt have one but my comic book said Graphic Novel. So I put it on the Desk and he looked through it and told me to come get it after class. My heart dropped. And next thing i knew the Book was banned from the school.

Well I was looking for the origin of a render character that caught my attention, turns out this character was the main female from Moonlight Lady. I decided to watch the episodes because of my interest, all not knowing it was a hentai....

My life was forever changed.
