Hentai is good stuff. Physical porn (as in, real filmed porn) has limits, but pornographic anime can go beyond reality into the imagination of the artists. Ignoring dumb generalizations like anime ain't anime without tentacle rape, hentai caters to people such as myself, who gets bored with regular porn, dislikes fetishes such as hardcore bondage, and needs something that is new and exciting. By the way, there is some bondage in hentai, but there is plenty of "clean" hentai as well.

No, it isn't all about demons, schoolgirls and an particular preference for rape, which disgusts me. Plenty of hentai is artistic, beautifully drawn animations, great sound effects and impressionism (something real porn cannot really achieve). Sure, animated porn is less "real" than the plastically enhanced bimbos of SoCal, but they look more real, and they look good, since nothing restricts the pen of an artist. Good hentai, as a result, beats the vast majority of porn. And there is nothing wrong with schoolgirls.

Hentai does delve heavily into fetish areas such as tentacles, mythology, bondage, rape, gangs, worship, and other strange stuff that some Japanese people find attractive. I choose to ignore that kind of stuff. It doesn't appeal. Unfortunately, the most shocking stuff always ends up overseas in the United States, and casts a bad impression on hentai as a whole. For some real hentai, go to Japan, Hong Kong or Seoul.

For those people who dislike animated pornography, there is Japanese porn. I wrote up a summary there.
