[QUOTE="Isawa Sideshow, post: 169310, member: 1107"] Again, I reiterate - hentai is not solely about tentacle sex. In Japanese, "hentai" means "pervert" (or "abnormal"). It's used to refer to any entertainment with hardcore elements, be it anime, manga, computer games, live-action movies, etc. That said, there's a reason why tentacles are a common theme in hentai - in Japan, it's illegal to depict genitalia - all thanks to General MacArthur and the laws he brought to Japan after WWII. To get around that, Japanese animators used large beasts with many tentacles instead of penises. It fit in with the classic Japanese oni, and also allowed them to show phalluses without showing genitals. A lot of hentai that's been brought over to the United States uses tentacles, because US markets have the same problem - show genitals, and you're X-rated. Show monsters with tentacles, and you're a hard R rating, and you can be sold in Best Buy and Suncoast. Not all hentai involves tentacles, though. I've mentioned [i]F3[/i], which is about a girl who can't have orgasms. Though some odd inventions are brought into play, no tentacle rape takes place. The [i]Cool Devices[/i] series, a set of 10 animated shorts by different artists, are totally uncensored (which suggests that they were done "underground" in Japan) and mostly focus on taboo subjects such as S&M, domination/submission, incest, and such. On the manga front, there's a huge range of adult "doujinshi", which is fan-created manga based on popular video games and anime series. Most of this is just depictions of straight-up male/female (or female/female, or male/male) sex, without any monstrous elements involved. Finally, for computer games, there's a wide variety of hentai games. Most are "dating" games, where the protagonist is a young single man who must interact with various women in the hopes of bedding them and living happily ever after. So you see, hentai is neither dark nor completely tentacle-filled. In fact, a lot of hentai would fit fine into the "serious" guide without crossing the line of "too humorous" or "too Cthulhu-esque". Personally, if we needed to divide the guides, I'd say there's a "serious" guide and an "outrageous" guide for over-the-top items such as prismatic dildos (my favorite example - it just rolls off the tongue) and tentacle monsters.
