There's a post I made recently about "why ahegao faces are even popular" and then I decided to read and watched some hentai in order to find out why, and then I find out that a lot of hentai have a rape tag (like 50-60% of what I read) then I look upon the popular tags on nhentai and hanime and there it is, one of the most popular tags on that site (same thing with ahegao).

Rape is one of the most popular tags in any hentai including doujins. And I don't get why it's even popular.

It probably gives people a sense of "dominance" or "power" that they are unable to receive in real life. Just like watching a show with harems or overpowered protagonists (heck even Isekai in general), it gives the viewer a sense of escape of realism to a place where they can have/feel powerful.

Why is lolicon popular when it is just pedophilia? Cause there are degenerates who use animation as an outlet for their disgusting fetishes, and even more of those are into the medium so there is a demand for it. Plus, there are even worse stuff to be found in hentai.

My guess is one of the other.

Either A) It helps them fantasize about hooking up with that pretty girl they have no chance with.

Or B) People just have unfavorable fetishes. Like irl a lot of people have foot fetishes for some reason that I'll never understand.

It is because of male biology to spread his genes as much as possible on part of the males and the masochistic fetishes of some females. I don't know if Sigmund Freud has thought of this once before.

That's pretty good question, but I think it's because if it wasn't, an actual plot would be required, meaning it would be harder to animate (?) Just theoretically.

Obviously you've never experienced how good it feels to have a cute white bitch have sex with other boys right in front of you and make you suck them off & clean her up while she emotionally abuses you.

It's fun ;]

This is a question I would seriously like to know the answer. The only NTR fan I've heard from so far enjoyed the fantasy of being the bull, but that can't be universal, right? NTR fans - if indeed they do exist and aren't a fake conspiracy made by the government to emasculate the male populace - seem to be a fairly secretive bunch so it's hard to find any to get answers out of them.

First - it's about dominance, probably the most popular sex fetish.
Second - rape is much easier way to have sex than building relations or finding a woman who agrees. Men in their fantasies subconsciously prefer the easier way and feel more satisfied with this

I wouldn't necessarily call them weak, but more like misfortunate? Some people watch it as pure enjoyment and pleasure while others may see it as an escape. It's like how some people just enjoy watching Isekai but others use it as escape from their horrible reality of everyday life. Depends on what kind of life you are placed in that affects your viewpoint on its usage, for some it's a way with coping with a problem.

Like someone said, sense of power and dominance. Probably they're just losers seeking pleasure from impossible scenarios, feeding their weird fetishes and desire to be noticed by girls with hentai. Creepy.

I understand why it exists conceptually from a psychological standpoint, but personally I hate the idea of forced or coerced sex. I object morally of course and there's also my belief that porn is supposed to be enjoyable not painful to watch or rage-inducing.

yes i agree, 99% of the time the girls turn from "pls stop" to "fk me more pls", its just something to get an easy plot going without thinking to much, just like incest and ntr. Its not only popular in hentai, also in 3rd world countrys.

It's a popular fetish. Likely an appeal to dominance which works especially to those who feel they lack dominance.

Usually the girl accepts it eventually, likely as a way to show the guy's power in more ways than one, this feeding into the power complex of the viewer. The whole "raping someone into hopeful submission" sort of thing. It's something I encountered in prison scarcely but truthfully (to other more victimized individuals, not me).

Sometimes it's full on rape whether it's a bondage style kidnapping with all the screams and tear goodies involved. This may appeal to the sadist or at least sexual sadist. I can speculate that tentacle rape appeals to the "hidden place" fetish as the vulnerabilities are exposed and exploited all around. It also has this fantastical allure I presume.

As for me, I love the fear appeal and it is as rewarding as the sexual benefits. And the talent of the voice actors heightens that burning sensation. Makes me feel all warm and pumped both inside and outside :)

I will admit that a part of it may be compensation for my loss of control and power over my life and others. But it comes in flashes and disappears.

Anyway, I think it takes precedence in Japan because of the sexually repressed atmosphere and it works in animation because it would be triggering and highly uncomfortable if such things were displayed in live action. I think that has far less appeal and only to a sadistic niche that just isn't worth only catering to.

It's an interesting thing to think about personally.

Maybe the authors can't even imagine a 2D girl ever wanting to have sex with them. Or maybe it's a very complicated and multifaceted fetish that I'm too tired to analyse at length.

But just let me say that a large majority of rape doujins and hentai I've seen is the 'fluffly' kind of rape, where the main point is that the girl wants it after all and he's basically doing her a favor by 'making' her honest and the girl feeling pleasure from the rape is what's central. So basically it's just an extension of what I wrote in the ahegao thread: Men like fantasizing about being able to bring pleasure to women, even against their will. But it isn't really about hurting them or seeing them suffer, just drown in pleasure, being able to have control over them.

The 'real rape' doujins, where the emphasis is on the girl not wanting it, suffering from it, and that in itself being the turn-on, are much rarer I believe. They often pay meticulous attention to details and making the scenarios as realistic/believable as possible, while the other kind is often very removed from reality (like most doujins and hentai).

Of course the transitions between those two poles of the rape fetish are fluent, but I think it's important to differentiate them because both their appeal and execution generally vary.

Oh and don't forget about Gangbangs, I feel like half the 'rape' tags out there are just because there's a gangbang and those are almost always rapey. But it feels like the rape is more of a means to an end in those kind of doujins and they don't often explore the psychological aspect of the rapist-rapee relationship gets barely even touched hence not making it appeal to the readers via the rape tag, but via the gangbang tag which just happens to have the rape tag attached to it a lot of the time. And don't get me started about gangbanging, that's one of the more popular tags that I'll never enjoy myself.
I probably regret this post by now.

I find it funny some people seem to kink shame and call those that like rape in their porn to be weirdos or freaks along with losers



but like moving on I personally like it because of the power and dominance of the act along with seeing the suffering since I'm a sadist

I find it weird people mostly focusing on males raping women in the thread btw when women raping men is also popular and is just as good when it comes to doujins

It's not exclusive to hentai, Japan also makes a lot of live action rape porn. They usually just aren't bluntly tagged as 'rape' because this tag is most likely monitored on some (most?) porn sites and such vids are taken down. Most are obvious acting but you can sometimes find questionable ones, and in rare cases also ones that look as if they leaked straight out of dark web.

i think rape is a popular fetish in general... Rape is a power fantasy.
Being able to take full advantage or also being taken advantage of can be a turn on in general kinda like BDSM.

In hentai's case you just need to look at the demographic to understand why its almost all rape or harem. Shy dudes who never talk to women and never get women because of it. A lot of scrubby dudes build resentment towards women for this.

This isn't really exclusive to hentai. You'll find rape porn and many other questionable fetishes in JAVs. In fact, I think it's harder to find a "normal" JAV that doesn't delve into at least one fetish. Japan's sex culture is far different than the west, so it's hard to really diagnose the exact reason.

Pretty much this. It's the same reason why people watch incest porn and shit like that without wanting to fuck their family members.

But as usual, armchair MAL psychologists are taking hentai too seriously and giving their own hot takes.

I can't speak for others but is not like I actually have a rape fetish or something. I'm just not turned off by it and can enjoy it like any other genre.

I watch hentai to see hot anime girls having sex, the context behind the sex doesn't matter nearly as much.

I DO however have a sort of a kink for woman losing their minds in ecstasy during sex, which more often than not happens in rape anime.

Basically the same as ahegao, you make da bitches surrender to you mighty cock even if they didn't wanted to at first. Same result, different path. It gives the feeling that you put a leash on the girl, or something like that.

I think the whole idea of something taboo makes people excited

Because it's through animation, something that would normally be illegal or uncommon/weird irl can be portrayed.

I think this applies to anime in general, you see stuff like incest, rape, basically pedophilia (lolicon), harem, etc. People enjoy it because it's unlikely to see it irl, but by breaking this taboo thru animation, some people get off on it.

A few people already said it but I def think it's the whole "fantasy" but less guilt of indulging in it. Even with real porn because even if with real humans it's just acting, it still has a sense of ick to it for some people where as it being more fictional and animated gives a layer of distance but still can enjoy the fantasy. I usually tend to veer from a lot of non/con in my media because it's just not for me, mostly cause I don't get anything out of it more then bothered by it.
