...tough poll



I went for Borderline H in the end. Although I read hentai, it's rare to find a decent story that fits in with all the sex too, as obviously sex appears in every chapter of a hentai. I don't think I've read a hentai manga where there wasn't a sex scene in a chapter, which is understandable because the reason we're reading it is because that's what we want to see XD
I know there are some decent hentai manga out there, but I find most of the borderline manga I've read balance it quite well, and the sex scenes usually pop up in somewhat appropriate places.
Ecchi I read too, but yeah I agree with people saying it's just a tease.

Of course Hentai... FTW!

But really... we all know that Borderline-Hentais usually have a lot more of "substance"... in terms of readability... so well... i ultimately chose Borderline-H.. at least for this pole

Nothing of the sort.

I'm not sure about other people, but personally, I don't really see the point of having nudity in something as nothing more than shock value. As far as hentai, I try to stay away from porn.

Well not all females are into yaoi, or yuri, and plenty like hentai -> Women who read hentai! (a thread in the 18+ section of the forums). Also I'm sure there are men out there who like yaoi/yuri and I disagree with chomio comment saying yaoi is meant to be for women, and yuri for males statement, but that's not the point.

Although I do agree with Hespia Klarerin (and others) I think smut should be added as an option.
This is from the genres page, and seems relevant to the poll.

I also agree that yaoi, and yuri should be added as an option (but not because it's more for the female members).
This post tells me that in this site they are not sub genres of hentai. but a genre itself.

(As for my vote, I'll wait to see if changes are made, or the very least a comment from lambchopsil saying it's not going to be added.)

100% that.

Still went with "nothing of the sort" though, since I don't read it too often.

Agreed. Surprisingly, quite a few borderline H series have really good romantic elements that actually concludes properly rather than leaving possibilities in the air and a bunch of "what ifs".

Apparently people are disagreeing over the definition of hentai and whether yaoi/yuri should be choices. For the purposes of this poll, hentai means any material that is 18+ (I live in the US) in a sexual manner, whether that be heterosexual or homosexual. Borderline H is basically almost there, but not quite. Ecchi is limited to maybe a boob flash or something like that.

Good to see Real Hentai beating out that borderline/fake stuff. I've got some great emotionally fulfilling recommendations if anyone wants 'em.

Went for Borderline H.
Though I have read some H-Manga and have read quite a few Ecchi ones, I found that the story in Borderline H is quite better. I mean, Prison School and Nana to Kaoru have both a very interesting story, the art is very good, and plot development is good as well.
However, Slut Girl, that H-Manga is the best H-Manga I've read not for the actual sex but the story is good.
Btw, I would like some users that voted for Nothing of the sort to post their Lists and actually show proof that there's no Ecchi in it. Find it quite hard to believe nowadays.

I voted for Ecchi because it can produce some nice "lulz" when done well.

You never responded to to the possible smut option ...

I agree in the US (which I'm also from/in) sexual manner is for both heterosexuals and homosexuals, but in mangas hentai and yaoi/yuri are not separated. I never seen a yaoi hentai (unless it had both straight, and gay couples in it). I think since all polls on this site are suppose to be manga related the poll choices should be in regards to how the manga world considers heterosexuals and homosexuals separate.

- Now if you want to exclude yaoi/yuri due to it not being hentai and not related to hentai I could understand that.

He didn't, but psycho-shocker mentioned why "smut" is not an option on his post (the last one on Page 1 if you have the default number of posts shown per page.)

As for the answer, these days it seems to be full on Hentai for me. That is what I read the most, if we just count it by "pages per week" basis. Discounting the occacional archieve binging of a whole series.

Why? I say, why not.

I agree with psycho-shocker in that you lump smut under the Borderline H choice

I will not be changing any of the poll options for this poll. Votes for yaoi/yuri fall under Hentai

*selects hentai*

... you know you're a lost cause when "real" / "live-action" porn just doesn't do anything for you anymore ...

I really don't know how to classify the yaoi I have read, none of them have the "ecchi" or "hentai" tag/genre on it (not even "smut" in some cases). I guess that is why some people want to put yaoi/yuri as a option, but I understand the definitions of it etc etc.

I picked borderline H. Like everyone said, ecchi is just teasing and nothing else and hentai is way too extreme, porn without plot. Bordeline H is a great balance with plot and sex in a decent and sexy way (even though some bordeline H I have read involve peeing?? I don't really get what is so sexy about that).
