Google is no longer my friend.
The vast majority of modern day tentacle porn is of evil monsters raping their victims (generally to impregnate them and give birth to further such monsters.) This may not have been historically the case, where an octopus might have filled in for any sort of dildo–i.e. wanting to draw some insertion in there without having to draw a guy in the way. But the majority of what we would be talking about would be neither willing sex nor equal sex–regardless of whether the girl gets into it partway through (seeing as lots of girls will get turned on midway through being raped…)
Am I losing my mind, or did this get moved from CS to GD? If so, why?
It was always here. Or at least it is where it was when it had zero replies and one view, when I made my first response.
My guess would be that you misposted (or the VBulletin messed up somehow.)
Yeesh, must have misposted. I could have sworn I was in CS. Is it appropriate for a Mod to move it, or should it stay here?
Well, that depends. Who bids more, you or the Cafe Society mods?
Moderator’s Note: Since this is about, um, a literary genre yeah, that’s it, I’m moving the thread from Great Debates to Cafe Society.
Thanks so much! And many apologies for my mistake!
At this point, I need either a cite or credentials establishing you as an authority on tentacle porn.
BTW-
I don’t see what’s so bizzare about nawa shibari (OTTOM I know that and loli.). It’s time consuming. The rope is expensive. It seems anal retentive in a way that would make Phil Hartman’s character proud. But, elaborate rope bondage isn’t that strange.
Well, I am currently studying to be an animator in Tokyo.
I do admit that I’ve only encountered tentacle porn tangentally, and I think mostly non-animated (i.e. still drawings.) Though there are some non-pornography versions, like one attack in Blue Seed (that falls just short.) The Wikipedia does seem to basicly agree with me. Cite. So I imagine that I’m not that out-of-the-loop.
Eh, it’s fine. I’ve seen some and it’s kind of like…well yup you tied her up. If the rope doesn’t turn you on then there’s nothing to do but fast forward, since otherwise they’re just going to sit there for fifteen minutes as the guy kind of walks about–but is ultimately incapable of doing anything because…he’s covered everything in rope!
Japanese fetish porn is actually rather annoying. If it’s “leg fetish” you’ll get…fifteen minutes of the camera circling about the girls leg. Breast fetish will be a half hour of the same breasts. And so on. Always to be followed with an overhead view of the girl on her back, arms raised slightly as the dude pounds away. Lasting about 30 seconds. Then thirty more minutes of various camera angles…
Silly fetish directors, spending all this time focusing on the object of the fetish. 
(Though if you’re talking about the 30 seconds of pounding being superfluous, in a “the love story tacked on to Pearl Harbor” kind of way, I guess I can see your point.)
Well true. The problem is that this style seems to have worked its way into non-fetish stuff. I feel sorry for the poor woman’s jaw after a half hour of straight blow jobs (for thirty seconds of pounding…)
Sage Rat, did you ever catch the old Gilgamesh Night show? Typical panel/variety show, but all the hosts were current or former porn actresses (Ai Iijima was there for a few years when she was making her transition from hardcore to soft). Anyway, they had a “Adult Movie Awards” show one evening that followed the standard style of showing clips (usually pretty hot) from each nominee before announcing the winner.
When they got to the fetish award it was thirty seconds each of:
A woman brushing her hair.
A woman ripping her stockings.
A woman riding a bicycle with a camera mounted on the frame fliming up her skirt.
A woman washing her hands.
All with no background music, no voices, and none of the women’s faces visible. After the clips finished, the hosts just sat there staring at each other, trying to come up with something complimentary to say before quickly moving on to the next award.
Man, Japanese TV used to be great.
“Lip my stockings!”
Can’t believe nobody has done this yet . . .l
BAND NAME!
I’ve been waiting for a thread to ask this for months. What was up with the tentacle rape in “The Evil Dead?” Japanese inspired or our own home grown perversion?
Honestly in what little I’ve discussed this in mixed company, very little I admit, the tentacle monster is at least as exciting a concept for the women as it is for the men. For some it seemed more so.
It’s not uncommon for women to harbor some serious submission fetishes, I’d say more common than men having a domination fetish, and being overwhelmed by a creature that violates them and restrains them all at the same times seems to fit the archetype. The fact that anime is wholly fictional, not involving any real people even as actors, also allows women to swallow it and avoid the vague exploitation guilt some feel watching live women get fucked.
In short, lets not pretend that this is strictly some crazy Japanese male rape fantasy.
Hijack Warning
What?!
No it isn’t.
I can see that. Without talking to more women, or knowing what level of exposure the ones you talked to I can’t say more–but I will admit that I would tend to opt more for the idea that they are turned on by the “idea” of tentacle sex rather than by what mainstream tentacle porn currently contains. Mostly just because of the impregnation issue. I can see being held down, submitting, and whatnot as being turn-ons, but being impregnated by monster babies and then having your stomach burst later to release more babies to rape further women–that seems much more a male thing.
Actually, I think it’s probably more of a tentacle monster thing, but I don’t know any I could ask about it.
Relatively vanilla woman checking in here. The woodblock prints are strangely hot, and nicely composed. They don’t come off as especially violent. Their abstractness gives them some distance from the reality of slimy, spindly octopus. Following some links, I came upon a page with photos of a female torso with a small (maybe 18") octopus laying on and in her. You couldn’t tell if it was alive or dead (the octopus, I assume the woman was alive,) and the photos were taken out of water. It was revolting, and nearly ruined the eroticism of the woodblock prints for me. Anyway, that was my reaction.
I also came upon a page with erotic anime drawings people who had recently had arms and legs amputated. Bloody bandages on some, gaping wounds on others. WTF?
