The Hentai Language Dictionary of Anime Porn Terms
Internet porn, as our pals at Avenue Q put it. Additionally, if you have visited any XXX sites, you have undoubtedly come across Hentai (Japanese cartoon porn).
However, if you’ve dared to take a close look, you might have discovered a vast realm filled with legendary animals, young girls, and tentacles.
Let’s quickly review the extensive language used in Hentai.
IT’S NOT ACTUALLY HENTAI
The term “hentai” is actually completely misleading (at least the way we use it in English).
The term “hentai seiyoku,” which is short for “abnormal sexual cravings,” is what most people think of when they think of filthy cartoons.
What actually happened was that we ended up using it as a catch-all term to refer about things you find in the very back room of sex shops or in essentially every newsstand in Tokyo over time (after years of being lost and evolving in transition). But that is simply untrue.
In English, hentai encompasses all Japanese pornography animation both hardcore and softcore. In Japanese, hentai is only for hardcore material like rape and tentacle sex etc. In Japanese, “H” (like “H-manga”) or Etchi/Ecchi is for sexual content but not abnormal themes and more softcore.
A HANDY CHEAT SHEET
Anime = Japanese style of animation
Manga = Japanese comic books or graphic novels
Hentai (Japanese) = pervert, offensive/derogatory term
Hentai seiyoku (Japanese) abnormal sexual desire
Hentai (English) = subgenre of anime, pornographic anime or manga
Yaoi = subgenre of hentai, boy and boy love/romance
Yuri = subgenre of hentai, girl and girl love/romance
Ecchi/Etchi = subgenre of hentai, more softcore but still “lewd”
A-Z HENTAI PORN TERMS
Now that we have all that clear, here are some more interesting words you might stumble across…
Ahegao アヘ顔 – The face you make during orgasm. Specifically flushed cheeks, eyes rolled up, mouth open, and tongue sticking out because it’s so good.
Bakunyū 爆乳 – Really big breasts, so big that it can only be achieved through surgery. The literal translation is “exploding breasts”. The next stage would be chōnyū, where the size is impossible.

Chinran 産卵 – A fetish where an alien or monster impregnates a woman she bears the offspring, usually in the form of eggs – hence the translation “egg laying”. A company called Primal Hardwere actually makes dildos (called Ovipositors) that mimic this fetish by inserting gelatin-like eggs through a hole in the toy.
Diipu kisu デイープキス – A French kiss.
Ecchi エッチ – When referring to porn it means “softcore” and not dirty enough to be considered true hentai.
