Alien Hentai — Why the Japanese Love Alien-Themed Sex Cartoons

There are two types of people in this world — those who are completely oblivious to hentai and others who fell down this rabbit hole. If you’ve never watched it, you should know that a crazy world of sexual weirdness awaits you there. Whether hentai floats your boat or not, it’s important to get acquainted with this wave of animated porn that has flooded the world.

Manga and Anime

Hentai is animated porn originating from Japan. It is a special sub-genre of anime and manga. To understand hentai, we have to take a quick look at the Japanese animation industry and what the aforementioned terms mean.

What Is Manga?

Manga is the term for a special kind of comic books or graphic novels produced in Japan and distributed all over the world. This medium is quite diverse in terms of content and style, so you might encounter anything from light-hearted romance to bizarre what-am-I-looking-at scenes. However, in general, manga does have a recognizable style compared to the western market.

What Is Anime?

Often, when a certain manga amasses a large enough readership, it becomes an anime. This is a term signifying animated features and series produced in Japan. You must have come in some contact with anime — be it Pokemon or another prominent title like Akira or Spirited Away.

Anime has been a multi-billion, hyper-production industry for decades now, and it’s never shied away from adult themes and serious topics. Thanks to Disney and Hanna & Barbera cartoons, western animation has shifted towards family content. When the west discovered anime, they got enthralled with its powerful visuals and serious stories.

Alien Hentai Love

Since the Japanese understood they could use animation to depict anything they wanted, naturally, they started drawing sex scenes. Though the west has several highly sexualized animated features, it’s nothing compared to the hyper-production and cultural behemoth that is hentai.

You might be wondering why we would need cartoon sex when there are millions of real porn videos online? Well, you can draw whatever you want. Sex with identical quintuplets, a partner has seven penises, boobs larger than a monster truck? No problem! Animation can make that happen. With animation, your deepest, darkest desires and kinks can come to life.

Alien fantasy has great potential in animation. Aliens don’t conform to our human or even earthly conceptions of body and pleasure, and as such, they can embody our taboo wishes. Extraterrestrials can grow extra body parts for extra stimulation. They can be dominant, or they can be subservient, have several sexes, change their form, etc.

Besides alien sex, other imaginary creatures can function as an outlet for our dark sexual id. You can also encounter demons, mythical creatures like fairies, goblins, and minotaurs, who also turn into fetish fuel. There’s a huge range of fantastic content — you just need to find what works for you.

Alien Hentai and Its Roots in Tentacle Erotica

Alien hentai almost always utilizes tentacle porn at some point. This is a special scene in which (usually) a female is bound and penetrated by several tentacle-like objects or body parts. This fantasy isn’t unique to the alien genre, and you can find it in many other hentai and even less steamy media.

Tentacle porn has become so widespread that you can encounter jokes and references to it in everyday media and conversation. Less explicit versions of it can pop up in many popular shows, such as Fairy Tail. These are “fan service” moments when the female character gets entangled and subdued in ropes, vines, or something similar.

Origins of Tentacled Delights

Such huge popularity of this particular fetish comes from several sources. The first one is the Japanese art of illustrated erotica — Shunga. This form of art is several centuries old, and the first eroticized tentacles appear in the Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife. In this piece, a woman and an octopus are having sex, and there are elements of bondage.

However, it’s the strength of Japanese censorship that gave rise to modern tentacle porn. The law prosecutes and penalizes any media that depicts “obscene images.” This includes porn, and that’s why you can encounter pixelated genitalia in some videos. Another way around it is not to depict actual body parts, so artists draw tentacles that can be equally steamy.

Animated aliens can have all kinds of body parts and technology that can serve as a valve for unresolved desires, fantasies, and kinks. This idea resonates with many viewers all over the world.

Hentai by Numbers

Hentai, with its tentacles and alien fetishes, is here to stay, and it seems it will just continue to grow. The reason for this is that anime has been moving from a niche market to an element permeating the everyday pop culture. With this, the acceptance of hentai and its audience has been on the rise.

The proof of this is simple — follow the money. The Pokemon franchise amassed 100 billion US dollars in 1996, and back then, it was less of a cultural behemoth than it is today. Bearing this in mind, Google Trends shows some interesting data — from 2004 to 2012, hentai constantly outranked anime in internet searches.

Japan can churn out such large quantities of hentai since the workers and artists don’t earn much. Furthermore, many animators start their careers in the animated porn industry. But hentai is strong outside the Asian market. In the USA in 2015, people typed in hentai many more times than boobs and gay porn.

Nevertheless, though more and more young people turn to hentai for their sexual relief and fantasies, it is still a niche market outside Asia. For westerners, it still has the feel of quirkiness or bizarreness. If you are not familiar with it, give it a go. It might surprise you, and it definitely won’t leave you unmoved.
