Quote from whatnot

edit:
I tend to stop reading a manga/not read it at all after overabundance/unnecessary sex scenes. regardless of which genre it has.
I wonder if I will change my pov after I get older or something

For a Manga to have a 'overabundance/unnecessary' amount of sex scenes in it, already categorize itself as a Hentai? So wouldn't that mean your either reading Hentai, or a Manga given the wrong Genre?

You're not alone. We are partners. If you are a witch, Then I'll become a warlock.- Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass)

only when its necessary for the series to be interesting not just thrown in at random.

Quote from KaoriNite

i have to disagree with you. well first of all, i mostly read smut and yaoi, so clearly i like seeing sex. but as far as encountering a sex scene in a manga where sex isn't the main focus, i usually like it. especially when it is displayed more realistically, rather than the overly-romantic and idealistic scenes of shojou smut or the over-sexed scenes of hentai. maybe its because i'm 22, but i'm not as interested in manga where they act like sex doesn't exist, or are too afraid to touch the topic. especially if its a romance manga involving older characters. sex is a normal part of life, so i have no problems seeing it in manga.

the other reason i disagree with you is that i think you kind of have a sexist view of what sex means for a woman. the whole "heroine being soiled". seriously? i don't think that sex has to mean that the woman is losing her virtue or her "purity". i know that's a common view, but i hate it and disagree with it. having sex doesn't make a girl dirty or a slut.

Pfft, feminist. He is right, girls should wait until they are older before turning into hump-anything-that-moves kid-sluts and ending up on Teen Mom. Why do you think fathers hate letting their daughters have sex? Like it or not, there are, always have been, and always will be differences between men and women, with different ideals to uphold and keep: A man has his dignity, and a woman has her chastity; losing either is shameful and dishonorable.

1st of all, why is feminist an insult or dirty word? its not.
2nd, i wouldn't classify myself as a feminist just because i believe that women should not be ashamed of having sex. there are plenty of women out there who believe this and are not feminists.
3rd just because a girl is having sex doesn't mean she is having sex with anything that moves.
4th i don't really care what a father thinks about his daughter having sex because if she is of age its none of his business

anyways, to get to my main point, yes there are differences between men and women, anatomically. what i'm arguing is that this whole idea of a woman's chastity needing to be protected is wrong. You can disagree with me on that if you want, but Western society as a whole seems to be moving in this direction. There is less and less stigma against women who don't wait until marriage to have sex, and i think that's a good thing. and i don't think its a bad thing if manga reflects this change in views.

then we really are standing on whole different grounds.. but I won't argue with you about this, since everybody is free to believe what they want. I respect your view of this topic and I thank you for your answer.
