About These Pictures

Before you get too upset - all the graphics are at most "soft" R. Nothing too very erotic. If you: 1) are in any of these shots, 2) know anyone in any of them, 3) own the copyright to any picture herein, AND wish it or them to be removed, I will do so as quickly as possible after I hear it from you. Note the "About" label on the lower button changes when the user selects Korea or Japan. The contents of the modals evoked also changes. This was a real bugger to engineer.

In Japanese pop culture the word 'hentai' literally means perverted. It is used to describe tentacle porn and bondage/torture. and that particularly disgusting bukakké. Among the young, it is used to describe anything from a normal interest in sex on up. As a code, the Romanji rendering begins with an H, so it is used a bit softer by calling anything of a sexual nature as 'ecchi' - the closest that Japanese can render an H.

JAV is Japanese Adult Video. Typically these featured one young woman (rarely two) having sex with various men. The features fit on 650MB CDs and ran 74:30 (80:00 on 700MB discs) - the most that would fit in the VCD format. Genitals were always pixeled out and the men's faces never showed. There was never any girl-on-girl action or anal penetration. Aside from some (rare) lead-in interviews, there was never any story - just sex, or preparation for it. If you see anything that violates any of these imperatives, the feature was probably American-made with second or third generation "actresses." The pornographic feature was (is?) considered an essential part of becoming a female idol (a pop star) in Japan. At least one of these 'features' was considered essential. The woman in question might stop there or continue to make such videos on an irregular basis until she started to look matronly, meanwhile continuing with her other public life pursuits.
