The world-class artistic Japanese erotica known as "Hentai" garnered legions of fans throughout its pathway. In Japanese, "Hen" stands for unusual; strange and "Tai" means wish or desire-like. However, not the kind of usual eroticism though a whole group of elements can be found only in this particular trend of erotic art. These so-elements, not-real; fantastic; distant of reality, would be impossible to make a film about it even if employing special effects of last generation. Though, had Hentai been created in Japan, it was on the western end that this J-art gained huge proportions.

The way stories are headed must follow certain "line of actions" already established with certain characteristics of story developing. Women, in these stories, are portrayed as regular and common citizens with regular lives and thoughts and always end up in some sort of sexual encounter and get aroused with no turning back. Oftentimes women are shy and/or have no conscious thoughts about sex at the same time that they deny the possibilities of sexual interests as surrounded by a blurry feeling of total deliverance. A unique characteristic of this kind o entertainment is the extreme way sex happens. The Japanese artists are often competing to develop more aggressive and shocking stories to please readers/viewers; things like group sex and "Bukkakke" are constantly explored. Fetishes are widely approached and are, in many cases, the pivot of the story's development. Elements regularly used like tentacles and bondage became very traditional among the Hentai developers.

Basically there are two types of Hentai: the heterosexuals and the homosexuals. When it has homosexual content, there are two subcategories: when it is only with men, the name is "Yaoi" and with female, "Yuri". Other very common elements found on Hentai stories are semi-anthropomorphic characters, who display animal attributes such as ears, claws, and a tail. "Funatari" are often depicted, too. This name is given to women with male genitalia, frequently with exagerated size. The interesting world of Hentai can be found on the internet, too. There is a good range of sites hosting videos, comics and avulse draws.
