I'm a /b/-tard! Every time I come on 4chan, I always wonder what Ecchi is. What is it? Is it some form of hentai?

cat emperor has spoken. this thread shall receive its answer.

ecchi is "softcore" hentai. posing, nudity, even minor contact (and /e/ apparently accepts masturbation also).

well by going with western nominations, I'd say

/e/cchi = "erotica" / nudes, frowned upon if there are males on picture, masturbation also fine.
/h/entai = porn, either soft or hard, the act itself unlike /e/.
/d/eviant = go see for yourself, the front page explains everything.
