What is the deep psychological reason behind why people like hentai? Is it because they relate to it to some extent? What event(s) took place in their lives for them to take interest?

This is a question that's been bugging me forever.

You get aroused watching Highschool dxd, Keijo etc and then you look for something more hardcore to satisfy your urges. Pretty simple.

I do not knooooow. It is either icky or unintentionally hilarious.

Course I am a girly-girl prude......my opinion is probably invalid. :/

I'm no doctor but I think it's safe to say, anything that gives you a stiffy should be embraced.
Or anything that turns you into the Pacific... ladies I didn't forget about you ;)

But the number 1 answer is because who doesn't enjoy a great plot..

To be fair, naked cartoon pussy starts to lose it's luster when you realize that the sex scenes don't last long enough for you to be able to fire one off unless you're a premature ejaculator. Also, the famously bad English dub of Bible Black makes a hentai about a devil worshiping cult rival Azumanga Daioh as one of the greatest comedies in anime, and you start to look at Bondage Game as just 2 Girls 1 Cup, Goatse, Cake Farts, Goosh Goosh, and Brazilian Fart Porn all rolled into one.

First Rule of Anime

All Hentai is Anime, but not all anime is Hentai, unless observed by an ignorant outsider.

example: *Watching One Piece* Random Bro: Dude, are you watching that hentai again

You're not just asking about the psychology behind watching a certain anime genre, you're asking about the psychology behind porn itself, which is far too deep a question for a forum board about anime.

I guess it is the same as watching porn. So you might as well google: ''Why do people watch porn?''

Or is your question ''why do people watch hentai instead of porn?''

Some people just enjoy watching weird shit that cannot (or hard to) happen in real life sex.

For starters, gang banging a girl, sex in a public area like pool or train, creampie, old dude fucking young students,

and for veterans, tentacle rape, zombie rape, monster rape, futanari,

Jerking off to an actual person is just...gross.
Even though it's a cartoon character, it's fictional, I don't feel like a legit creep for jerking off to a cartoon character, because they're not real.

I may be a girl who can't watch hentai because they're usually aimed toward guys but there's not much toO understand besides: If you have sexual urges, then you release them. Even if you can't have actual sex.

That's pretty much it. It's like how the average guy watches p0rn or how girls read smutty books.

i enjoy the intricate plotlines and the depth. these make shitty anime like evangelion or cowboy bebop look like a fucking joke, as they are actually smart and catered for a mature audience.

i actually am asexual and can recognise the brilliance behind hentai. put ur fucking dicks in ur pants and start respecting the artistic intent of hentai.

Because Japanese art is so appealing and beautiful to look at. The characters have flawless attractive bodies that most real people don't have. Also some things just can't be done in real life like that sexy tentacle porn stuff and you can even get away with watching things like child porn because it's animated. Also with some, you get an actual story(Usually not the best story) but it's still a story! Which is a lot more entertaining then just watching boring old sex. (Though hentai is probably also the reason I'm not easily satisfied in the real world. Now It seems that I always need role-play to get into the mood)

Attraction to 2D anime-style women, as a result of them looking more human than humans. It is a known bug in neural networks that were trained on a limited sets of data. I do not have an article in English at hand, but here is one article in Russian: https://geektimes.ru/post/290005/

Once you're attracted to 2D anime characters, you naturally want to see them having sex.

EccentricFox said:

Puberty. That's why there is so much porn of your favorite childhood cartoons. (also, Gadget was a damn sexy mouse, you just didn't know it because you were a kid)

Actually, it's the other way around. Live action porn has too much silicon-enhanced udders, while hentai has shapely small breasts and even flat loli chests.

It's because of the universal appeal of Masturbation.

Not really. You can still wage wars over whether lolis or MILFS are the superior fap material.

Honestly, I'm retarded. I thought it said ecchi.

It is you know...hot. Specially a majority of the community has waifus and likes 2D girls. And I'm one of those. It's unrealistic and more explicit than real porn, it's fapping material. Space Aliens, Netorare situations that are retarded and you can find yourself a good waifu.

It's not too unusual to find people who seek to attend to their sexual urges with unobtainable imagery. Isn't porn the same thing too? Matters not if the girls simply don't exist (cause they are 2D) or if they are porn stars you'll likely never meet.
If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.
