Hentai is pornographic, but with:
- Anime girls.
- Anime tiddies.
- Anime booty.
And animated visuals that many still criticise and perceive as “childish”, with the characters themselves judged as children as a result.
It started with anime, and hentai inherits the backlash to a greater degree because it’s pornographic.
Whatever a person’s reasons for enjoying hentai, a genre which is more than just tentacles, there are good reasons they remain private.
Better yet, why the majority of people who watch hentai may never tell you (and it’slikely you know someone who doees, especially if they watch regular porn or claim to).
Let’s talk about it.
1. The double standards of pornography
Pornography is often accepted in society across the world, even in societies where this kind of thing is frowned upon (including Western culture, not just muslim culture).
Money talks and always will.
The irony is when these same people who either watch porn, advocate for porn, or are neutral in some way see someone who likes hentai, they judge, point the finger, and make up “new” rules for them.
Or in other words, double standards.
Pornography that can harm REAL people is an issue, but an animated, fictional version of the same thing (exaggerations and all) is seen as strange or taboo.
This plays into many things, one of them being why hentai fans remain private.

2. Professional risks
This is understandable regardless of what kind of porn in the world we’re talking about. If someone is associated with porn in most countries, it becomees very hard professionally for them to be accepted, hired, or taken seriously.
This has happened in all cultures, including muslim culture, as shown these days on platforms like TikTok where people share their personal experiences navigating these challenges.
Hentai for no sensible reason is seen as even worse. Professionally, fans of hentai (or those who are indirectly involved) don’t shout about their involvement, like, or interest in hentai.
Unless, of course, you’re a celebrity like Samuel L Jackson who can admit he is into hentai out loud (another double standard).
For the average Joe and Susan, admitting or showcasing your interest in hentai or even talking about it is BAD for business and your reputation, so it’s best to stay silent.

3. Controversial by nature
Hentai involves a lot of things, like:
- Tentacles (famous with hentai).
- R*pe (a controversial kink).
- Gangbang.
- Harems.
- Lesbian action.
- BDSM.
- Cheating.
- Teenagers (dangerously controversial just like regular porn).
While some of these things aren’t the norm, they do exist, and that alone makes being associated with hentai controversial, suspect, and will give you more than just a side eye.
This is ironically why hentai is partially popular. Controversy sells after all. But it’s also why hentai fans stay silent and don’t share their “business” with others, even close friends, never mind family.
Hentai may always remain this way, and the controversy will only worsen if hentai becomes part of VR and other technologies.

4. Unacceptable in most cultures (social stigma)
Hentai is taboo in most cultures, pornography as well, but hentai is more stigmatised than any other form of pornography. This is why fans remain private about it.
Probably because hentai is more:
- Misunderstood.
- Animated.
- Fictional.
- Associated with anime.
And in some cases, because it’s foreign in a literal sense.
Hentai also takes things further because it’s not restricted by realism, so it can insert (no pun intended) and play with more controversial themes, add elves, ogres, and monsters into the mix, and all sorts of madness.
The irony is that many of those who have social stigma for hentai have people in their own cultures consuming hentai in mass numbers on the down low.

5. Some things are meant for private consumption
Are you ready to play one of the best and sexiest fast-paced fantasy hentai RPGs available for free on Android, iOS and PC?
Not everything is for public consumption. Some people just don’t understand this fact.
Not everyone is supposed to be:
- Publicized.
- Displayed.
- Advertised.
- Promoted.
- Discussed.
- Shared.
Some things are meant to stay private and between two people or a group of people (assuming nothing nefarious is happening).
Hentai is the same way. It’s not supposed to be on TV, or in public places, or in casual settings among various age groups.
Not that it couldn’t if it was done right and the material was ok, but private matters should remain private. More so when social stigma comes into the picture.
6. Fear of Harassment & Social Exclusion
Harassment online from trolls is common even for the most TAME of things. It could be your interest in DBZ and your dislike for Naruto.
Or it could be the fact that you like XBOX more than PlayStation, Halo over COD, Drake over Kendrick, and the list goes on.
Now imagine what the trolling looks like when someone discovers your interest in Hentai (someone outside of the community, of course).
Let’s say a friend, or someone who knows you in real life.
This fear might not be as genuine as be person fearing it, but fear is fear, and it stops a lot of people from doing things or expressing feelings they want to share but can’t.
More so if it involves porn, hentai, and things that can have you socially excluded by family (in certain relgiions), or rejected for having “taboo” interests.
–
In the end, there are a lot of reasons hentai fans decide to remain private with their interests in the industry and its material.
But these reasons stand out for obvious reasons, including shame, exclusion, harassment, among other situations, most would like to avoid.
