Has Your Mindset Changed Because of Hentai?

Used to be a shy conservative. always said "I would never indulge in such preposterous activities that would sully the soul" or some shit like that.

met some sex positive friends. found out sex aint some some evil thing that we make it out to be.

Short answer: No.

Long Answer: No. I've watched hentai since pretty much my teens, it might've affected my teenage years ( don't really remember ), but it hasn't affected anything else. I'll spare everyone the details which'd be pages long as to why this is definitely not the case.


However, one exception is my enjoyment of JRPGs. I have never been able to enjoy that genre, at all. But through playing a lot of HGames that often end up in the JRPG territory, I've mellowed out for that genre somewhat. Still can't really stand it in normal contexts, but can at least tolerate it with hentai.

I really enjoyed reading this response. Even though I didn't actually take that stance to that level, I did appreciate the alternative hentai presented in contrast to the norm of anime I also grew up with. This is in relation to anime and other 'wholesome' shows that vaguely touched upon sexual norms and practices with humor and satire as the focal point. Especially Love Hina, one of the first harem animes I was exposed too. As much ecchi scenes they had in this show, I honestly didn't like the female lead's attitude towards the MC. And even though I laughed through the classical satire based on accidental setups leading to sexual fanservice moments, I didn't really appreciate the setups enough to accept them for what they were put there for. After chuckling after the first few setups, whenever it was met with violence from the females who go there without even giving the mc time to apologize, I end up hating those types more and more.

Not because I related to that in any type of way, but because these types of situations do end up happening in social environments among males and females to where unjustifyable acts of slander towards the opposite sex is met on grounds that are unfounded. I never looked for things related to drama when I took up a personal hobby of people observation at a very young age, but when drama on the level of sexual harrassment did occur, and I payed enough to attention to what led up to that moment, if it clearly seen as an accident from my outsiders perspective, but the misunderstanding was not seen as such. More often than not, the person who caused that accident would get slapped first, then slandered afterwards. No explanation necessary or accepted. No matter how I saw it as an unfortunate accident where no one was really to blame, it was only met with curiousity from real life situation being turned into a fictional account of a story's timeline. In addition to the curiosity of even unfortunate accounts of fictional stories on the level of violence being immitated in reality as a means of inspiration to make a bold yet deadly statements of personal injustice. In relation to both on a level of basic curiosity, I would always stop to think what type of situation did an author subject himself to or was exposed to unintentionally irl that was used as material for a story? I think about other people's accounts in terms of content creation now more than ever since I've stepped into that world of content creation for the sake of it becomming a profession. Life has always be a marvel to me despite the good and bad times I've experienced. So even though I am able to separate between reality and fiction, I do acknowledge that each of them can collaborate in the form of drawing inspiration to be either a story element, or a grounds to start a cause or movement, whether personal or social in real life situations.

I accidently derailed from the original topic, which is actually the second time after deleting a lot of material. Writing has been such a big influence for me, that it's become not only tool I use to create a world that I make up, but also a natural and hopefully healthy coping mechanism to stressful situations relating to society woes.

Hentai showed me how pointless things like censorship truly are, and how they actually work against human improvement.

It showed me how, no matter how art truly has no limits on what it can be when the emotions expressed or enticed are genuine.

All new fetish that i found change my mind. Now i like socks, thighs and girls with penis :)

Since I've been in a serious relationship for the first time it feels like I'm going through puberty a second time, just less time wacking off to porn, and thinking of my gf in any sexual way currently just makes my dick want to launch out of my pants, it's more annoying than you think. Although the feeling of love is like the best drug ever and now all those love songs that didn't make sense now do, like I found the meaning of life.

I was always a pervert, but the more I consumed hentai over the years, the more I hated anime/sfw stuff. Although I specifically liked the Isekai, Harem, and Ecchi genres, they now feel same-y. It's just 12-24 episodes (or 2-3 seasons) of will-they-won't-they and no good pay off. Hentai is the best. Cute girls, solid pay off, fair story. Does it suck? no prob, it's usually just 1-2 episodes. Little time wasted, few nuts busted. It's gotten to the point where I just immediately drop an anime after like 8 minutes of episode 1 and look for any nsfw comic or pictures of it.

No I has not changed at all.

Yeah, and yours was a good post as well. I think the most coherent storylines are usually based off of some semblance of the author's real life. I'm not saying it can't happen when the writer makes a story that has one or many extremely fantastical (or improbable) elements contradictory to a real-life situation to make the story enjoyable but usually, it makes me want to roll my eyes and say, "lol whatever...". I want to add that as an amateur writer, I've found emotional relief from a personal unpleasant situation by using only the positives of that situation and incorporating them into a story, thereby creating a great experience in my parallel dimension. I found that a negative part of an experience can be altered or left out to create a positive and/or uplifting story, and it doesn't have to have a wild plotline. It can be great therapy.
