/e/ - Ecchi
Only softcore nudity is permitted. Hardcore images should remain on the hentai board.
Ecchi material is suggestive and often times cute, however, it should not be mistaken for the cute board.

lol, /h is for people who can't get off to a pic unless it has a cock in it.

And his image fits, so why are you saging you degenerate mouthbreather?

and /e/ is for homophobes who think that masturbating to a picture with even the tiniest bit of penis in it makes them gay.

Thing is, though, /h/ is FULL of penis. One is fine. Preferably in something, not out in full view. But 8 of them, all splurting all over the place... ugh.

/e/cchi is made of wimminz and win, to put it quite simply. We have no need for men, the object of our affection and fapping is pure, beautiful or sexual bliss in the form of the female body.

Agreed

I think of my /E/ as a little more softcore, cute, and wonderfully sexy.

I prefer gangbang, cum and dickgirls, but I mainly browse /e/ (and /d/). I find my /h/ material elsewhere.

Why look at straight porn when you can get hot girls getting fucked by more hot girls? /d/ is way better than /h/

Speaking of which, a vast portion of my /u/ folder probably counts as /e/.

I don't mean to sound gay, but yuri can just be too soft for my taste sometimes. There's not enough yuri BDSM.

That said, I don't even bother with /h/. Sometimes I want subtle ecchi stuff, other times I want depraved /d/ stuff. I have no in-between for some reason.

The body of work known as ecchi comprises all works resting within a slightly fluid set of points on a linear scale.

The alpha point on this linear scale is the point where the artwork in question would be a "little awkward" to publicly view while with one's mother. This point's location fluctuates depending on the mother in question of course, in addition to the perceived artistic merit of the work itself (naked or semi-naked goddesses in Renaissance oil paintings, for instance, due to ingrained cultural significance, and the fact that they're not fucking Japanese, can never be ecchi). Various statisticians of much greater mental acuity than myself have put great efforts into finding a generally accepted starting point for ecchi as a whole, but have thus far been mostly unsuccessful.

As for the other end of the linear scale, we seem to find ourselves in something of a conundrum. At one point, it seemed, ecchi's outer bounds were at the far end of sexual suggestiveness, while never venturing so far out as to expose the dreaded "private parts". Even if posed in such a way so as to hide one's sexual organs, full nudity would be pushing the envelope. However, as times change and tolerance for such things increases, the border between ecchi and full on hentai seems to have blurred some. Part of this may be due to the belief that ecchi/hentai translate directly into the western notion of softcore/hardcore pornography, which this scholar sees as something of a mistake. Nevertheless, the unfortunate truth may be that giant gaping vaginal closeups are the new face of ecchi's outer bounds, so long as there's no cock and not too many fluids spraying around.

In all, ecchi, as perceived by most of the drooling twelve year olds of 4chan, is probably closer to hentai, while 4chan's hentai tends to near /d/ material, and 4chan's /d/ material tends to near holy fucking batshit insane. Most of the truly /e/ material is found in /c/, curiously enough, which is also where all the Ichigo Mashimaro stuff is posted, bringing the softest of sexual predilections full circle to meet head-on with blatant pedophilia, creating a sort of psycho-sexual Ouroboros which consumes itself into infinity.

This is pretty much the case. /e/ tolerates things that I consider more explicate than ecchi, but I don't complain because it's all just terminology, and the setup 4chan has now works good enough for separating things into categories.

Ecchi means sex, and hentai means perverted

I think moot mixed up the two boards or something

In the Occident, ecchi means naughty, hentai means porn. What the Orientals think doesn't matter.

Suggestiveness is a hallmark of /e/, if not ecchi. Girls in /e/ like to fuck. Girls in /h/ are already fucked.
