tl;dr- I'M GHEY Anonymous
I'm bored, so I feel like dumping a bunch of pictures while I ask some stupid questions.

Have any of you ever stopped and wondered why you look at anime characters nude and/or having sex? More so, does anyone think they might have an addiction to collecting these pictures? I've seen plenty of threads in which we brag about how big our collection is. I'm very picky and I think I still have too much. Hell, my folder of /e/ and /h/ is twenty times bigger than my "real girl" folder. But I can't stop browsing and saving these images of drawn sexual bliss. An addiction? I'm beginning to think so.

A friend of mine wanted to use my computer and stumbled upon my collection. I don't hide it, but I don't exactly flaunt it off to people I know. His look of disgust really pissed me off, because I shouldn't be judged for the content I beat my dick to. But I guess anime porn is rather unusual, eh?

Back to matter at hand, do you think you're addicted to this stuff?

addicted? maybe, unusual? nah.
one can ask the same questions about the true female form, why to breasts acctract you so much? or legs? and so on, although drawn, they arn't really any different, if anything, they're better, a release into our desires that we often can't find in real life, face it, most anime chics are simply hotter than the real thing (that's why they were made imo)
if your friend isn't secure enough in his (i am assuming it was a guy friend) masculinity [no idea if that's spelt right] to at least find this pic remotely arousing, i'd say he's hiding something, trying to put on a face of 'straight'
i could be wrong though, some people just have different tastes, like the whole furry debate.

On another note, how often do you find yourself browsing for new pictures as opposed to looking at what you have already saved?

I once admired my collection from time to time, but now I usually just find myself going through websites to add to it.

normal function of the human brain,
don't worry about it, your friend probably faps to playboy magazines which is in fact the same thing.

And I'm not really addicted to this stuff, I just like to collect the art, because it's simply better drawn then a drawn images of real women.

(excluding real pictures) <- although I collect some who are really artistic, sexy or drool looking.

I prefer my porn in anime form. Before I got my own, whenever I could get access to a computer, I would surf the web and save the maximum amount of anime porn, no mater what the quality was. Then, I would buy expansive ink cartridges to print them... and I was much younger and able to fap and come many times a day.

Now that I've got my own computer and my own internet connection, I have all the porn that I want. I don't save every images that I see and I'm really picky about quality. I even spend some time uncensoring with photoshop. I don't fap everyday. I don't call myself addicted, but I do enjoy sexy art.

who cares if it's 'real' or not? a woman's body is a woman's body, and if you're into ecchi (not H, which can be pretty perverse and weird), that's as normal as admiring swimsuit models - and since E is basically an idealized human form, maybe more normal.

This is exactly it. No matter what people are getting off to, it's all down idealisation. Besides, everyone has at least one fetish that they will take with them to their grave, so I hate being judged for liking ecchi.

Ecchi images hit the subconscious on a number of levels. Over time, like a drug, it can be addictive enough to convince the user that reality isn't as good as the high. Some can never go back down, always seeking more until the one day a real life ecchi girl stops by, which will never occur.

I don't know if you would call me addicted. I am obsessive over going home and checking /e/, and if I have to go to some place without the internet (like a shitty hotel), I get pissed that I'm missing out on /e/. I probably am addicted to getting every good picture on this board.

But addicted to actually viewing it? Not really. I pretty much never look at my e folder. I've fapped to it maybe once. I just save the pictures because they're pretty. Plus, I know this sounds weird, but I love ecchi as my wallpaper. I think hentai and real girls as a wallpaper is just trashy, but I love ecchi as a wallpaper. Probably because I remember saving ecchi and keeping it hidden when my family first got the internet (yay dial up). The stupid internet and ecchi really jump started puberty for me. I remember having a 30 MB collection on our old shitputer (with a 1 GB HDD, which was HUEG in the day), and I thought 30 MB was gigantic. Now my e folder alone is 30 gigs.

Not only do I check /e/ multiple times on a daily basis, but also a handful of other sites. I rarely look at what I've saved, and I'd say on average I save two dozen more pictures a day (looking only for high quality). I also have a horrible obsession with collecting bishouju figurines, and I'll reserve anything that looks promising. Adult manga and magazines are imported to my home about twice a month, and even though I can't read them, they are great for scanning/sharing.

Addicted? Very much yes.

It's funny that you say that, because I've always been sort of a shallow prick when it comes to a woman's breast size. After looking at ecchi and hentai over the years, I think my infatuation with a larger chest has increased dramatically. Whenever I meet a new girl, my eyes immediately direct all attention to their breasts. If they're big, I can't look away and lose focus. If they're not, I'm completely normal.

My libido will never be satisfied.

The problem lies in that hentai is even more exaggerated than porn. It distorts the normal views even more so, and as a few people have said already it makes it a lot harder for them to be satisfied with real life.

For me, I think models have fucked up my perception of women a lot more. I don't really see many anime women that make me think of a real woman's body.
>> Anonymous
Case in point: I love /e/, I visit every day, save dozens of pics, but if the animu women are drawn with realistic (yet ideal) enough proportions those are the ones that really stand out. Everything else I have trouble fapping to.

Take Kanu (from Ikki Tousen) or most of Shunya Yamashita's work. You have to edge a little closer to real life to get me to think of real women. Or maybe I can just tell the difference between life and fantasy more easily than some people here.

In the end, extremely fit women in real life are what effect me the most. Bodies like that DO exist, so my mind says that I need those, I shouldn't settle for what is genetically inferior.

I expand my collection more often than I browse it. Generally there are a few pictures that I like best, and since I am really picky, my collection (and thus things I return to) grows slowly.

Not sure about it being an addiction, though. Fetish? Probably a very general one, if you want to go that far. Nobody knows I have hoards of this stuff, though, which is quite a nice feeling in itself. Secrets can be fun.

OP here. Thanks for keeping this thread going for the weekend. I'm glad so many of you jumped into the discussion.

While I've come to accept my addiction to this source of entertainment, I can't help but wonder the negative effects it has on some of us. As mentioned by several intelligent anons, it can sort of warp our sense of reality and give us a temporal sexual high that can't be obtained by a normal woman. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to sour-grape a situation here. I happily enjoy my infatuation with these pictures, and I don't mean to insult anyone here.

This isn't to say some of you think sex with a woman isn't enjoyable. But it does leave us with something to be desired. Whether it be larger breasts (yeah, I'm pinned right there), sexier physiques, or maybe even purple hair, ecchi pictures deliver a fantasy. Some people may take that fantasy to extremes and never be content with a real girlfriend.

Thanks for the great discussions, guys. I'm glad we can do this in /e/.

Also, /d/iscussion usually dies quickly, you guys are lucky here, although we never get>>667647, because that's a bannable offense, to criticize any fetish allowed on the board, and I understand that might not be the point, but the fact that it is a bannable offense might be a good reason that discussion dies quickly, because people might, maybe, be afraid to say their opinions.

>> Socrates
Back to the topic at hand, I don't think I'm addicted, there are beautiful women in reality, at least to me, which hentai simply can't compared to, even though I have completely impossible fetishes. That is forgotten, not forgiven, when I'm attracted to a woman. I have never felt "Oh, if only she had Mikuru's breasts" or "Wait, she's not cell-shaded. Oh...". I have strong preferences for certain women in reality, and that sometimes is inconvenient, but that's very normal.

However, it is somewhat ostracizing, but I feel that being an active member of 4chan is debilitating in this manner. I have always felt more comforted by the boards than anything else, they are a place to come to live fantasies impossible in real life. I also visit /s/, and my preferences for real women are applicable there, but they still can't substitute real girls to me. I feel like it's the animation of life, right where you can see it, not acted by porn starts nor drawn by manga-ka. The charm of a real woman is impossible, for me at least, to find in porn or hentai, or ecchi as an extension of hentai.

However, this is not to say that, if I could enter some virtual-reality for my whole life to live my fantasies, that I wouldn't. I would, without hesitation. However, 4chan, and all of it's boards, are not that virtual reality.

I need to do more philosophy so I can figure this out better, though...
>> Anonymous
Addicted?

Well, I won't say it's impossible, but I don't have severe withdrawal symptoms if I don't happen to fap for any given period of time. I just...get lonely, I guess, and do so to keep me from getting sad.

That said, this is purely a backup situation, for me. If I wanted to get a girl, right now, well heck, I'd start making the rounds. But I don't have my degree (yet) and I don't have my own place or anything else women actually want, so this is a safe (if immoral) haven in the meantime.

Besides, you want to talk about natural impulse, man, sometimes I do it just to appreciate the art and the body presented.

Well said. While I don't think that my tastes in ecchi have completely ruined my interests in women, I am amazed at how they've actually altered them.

I've always been a lush for bigger breasts, even before I discovered hentai. I have, however, increased my shallowness since then and I wonder if it's because of the ecchi and Playboy models I've seen. The idea of meeting a girl with a 34 DDD size chest who DOESN'T have back problems and ISN'T afraid of my troll-like features, is a personal dream. While not completely unobtainable, it is highly unlikely. It's also why I collect and collect, because if I don't get it in reality, I might as well have various eye candy on my monitor.

Anime has also given me this strange fetish toward glasses. I can't really explain this one, to be honest. I just remember the days of watching Azumanga Daioh and becoming a little more than infatuated with Yomi. Since then, I would always strive for a cute girl in glasses... and a ridiculous sized chest....

I feel compelled to contribute to this epic thread.

I fap to ecchi, as well as live action hardcore porn, and to a lesser degree, hentai. I like to flipflop based on my mood, some days I want a realistic girl, other days I just want to fap to some ridiculous fantasy of being overwhelmed by lingerie-clad sailor scouts. I've had a girlfriend or two, and some lesser flings, but the time in between can at times be very long and I need something to hold me over. I've been fapping to ecchi for so long that I feel like I've come full circle, and gigantic breasts are starting to lose their appeal to me, unless they are drawn in a very realistic way.

tl;dr, an internet connection is far cheaper to maintain than a real girlfriend for a broke-ass dude like me.

I don't think cavemen had to fap to cave porn. They just went over to the nearest female, clubbed her uncontious and had their way with her, or they got the shit kicked out of them by the bigger caveman that had already clamed her. Ahhh, simpler times.

Probably addicted, but I get more picky about what I fap to every day.

That, and it inspires me to draw better art.

Bullshit. Pure bullshit. I never had unrealistic expectations for real girls based off of ecchi and hentai.

Although ecchi and hentai have changed what I want from a woman (physically). Before animu, I wanted big boobs and someone who would put out. Now I'm into hair, ass, and face. I could (almost) care less about boobs (but they do have to be noticeable, no six year old chest).

The girl I'm trying top pursue right now has small breasts, and a small ass. Yet her face and hair are so beautiful it makes up for everything. She's not asian at all. I think saying that viewing /e/ gives you unrealistic expectation is bullshit.

However, if I met a girl with an antenna like Naru has in Love Hina, I'd freak out. I always thought that was cute, and have never seen it on a real life girl.

I can't stop thinking about this girl. Her face is so perfect. She always looks just a little mad and a little dirty, like she's secretly a slut who would let you pull on her hair, but she really isn't and I just want her to be. But her always looking angry is a huge turn on for me, because it's sexy.

sage, I know this isn't my blog. Sorry.
>> Your in Denial but its ok
Guys, I empathize with you, but honestly your in total denial if you said you didnt think your addicted. Come on man, your on an international forum, in a section about anime, in a thread about addiction!! (Blah! Caught red handed you fool!) I mean really. YES YOU ARE ADDICTED. But, I pass no judgment, I am too =)

Perhaps porn is a slightly unatractive addiction, and maybe to some people more wierd if its cartoon or drawn, but honestly...why the fuck do you care? Like mentioned, what you get turned on by is relative, and saving it to your computer is completely natural (humans like to hoard things they see as valuable).

Also, nearly all of you are men...and you were designed to find women desirable, the fact that they are drawn is irrelivant, because your brain (human brain) is one of the best facial recognition softwares made (meaning you recognize shapes of things youve seen before) so your brain doesnt care if its drawn boobs or not, it SEES boobs, and your body responds.

And there ya go, thats my take on it...God forgive me, but I love porn, and I love anime. Thats all she wrote.

>>Hell, my folder of /e/ and /h/ is twenty times bigger than my "real girl" folder.

I don't even HAVE a "real girl" folder. I do have about 250 GBs of hentai, however.

If that constitutes an addiction, so be it. I never really liked RL girls, anyway.

Well, I don't think it affects all of us. Each person here has a different perspective and some take it further than just fapping material.

Many people have admitted to having crushes on characters. Sometimes those feelings of infatuation can start deluding your perspective on how real women are. While being pure fantasy (or as others have said, "the perfect girl"), some guys get so caught up in it that they feel they can't find that same perfection in reality. And let's face it, not a single woman in the real world is CLOSE to perfect.

Everyone is different, and this thread has definitely proven that. For many of us, it goes beyond a hobby of collecting pictures. Addiction is carried as a negative word, so many of us refuse to admit to it. Do you think you could really just stop cold turkey? No more ecchi/hentai from here until the day you die? It'd be tough for me to hit the delete button on my entire collection, let alone come home and not visit the /e/ boards like I've been doing for the last three years.

Oh I will admit to that. I sometimes have a crush on animu girls. Right now, however, my stupid feelings are going towards a real girl (I say stupid feelings because I feel depressed and confused and angry at everything, including her and myself).


>some guys get so caught up in it that they feel they can't find that same perfection in reality.
I guess so, but for me that's weird. I love fapping to sluts, but I wouldn't date/be attracted to one. I fap to attractive women, while having feelings for a normal girls (maybe even below normal. As I said, she has a small chest and ass).

>Do you think you could really just stop cold turkey?
Nope.

I could quit looking at it, but...

>It'd be tough for me to hit the delete button on my entire collection, let alone come home and not visit the /e/ boards like I've been doing for the last three years.

This. I'm just addicted to collecting it, I admit it. I barely ever look at it, I usually use my head and fap off to the girl I like, or watch some IRL porn.

I guess my point was, however, that animu girls actually changed what I want in real life in a positive way. My standards are lower and much more realistic.

I understand what you mean. When I saw the movie Ghost World, I fell crazy in love with the character Enid. From her looks to her smart ass personality, I wanted to find a girl just like her.

A fictional character, be animated or on the movie screen, can shape what we look for in a mate. Some cases are just more extreme than others.
