Recently, Users of a prominent comment forum engaged in a lively debate about the phenomenon of Netorarecommonly abbreviated as NTR, a subgenre of hentai that revolves around a woman’s infidelity in a seemingly stable relationship. The topic of discussion was the reason behind the appeal of this genre to so many people.
One of the main points that emerged in the discussion was that the enjoyment of an NTR story depends entirely on which character the viewer identifies with. If you identify with the character being cheated on, i.e. the cuckold in the relationship, it is unlikely that the content will be to the viewer’s liking. On the other hand, those who identify with the lover in the story may find the drama and emotional tension that unfolds fascinating.
Additionally, it was noted that NTR’s stories often stand out for having high-quality art style and animation. This, combined with the emotional intrigue and dramatic tension, may further increase the genre’s appeal to certain viewers.
Although Netorare may not be to everyone’s taste due to its controversial nature, it is clear that it has a loyal following in the hentai community. The debate over their motivations and attractions will continue as fans explore and discuss the limits and possibilities of Japanese erotic art:
- «I mean, I have nothing against people who like netarare, it’s just that he asked me how come there are so many».
- «A guilty pleasure? A forbidden fruit? A fantasy of being deceived?».
- «I hate it as a thing in real life and in stories where I invest in a character. But when I just want to grope myself, I honestly don’t invest feelings in said characters and it actually has better art. Disconnect from the characters and you’ll be fine».
- «Hmmm, probably for the same reason that anti-fans talk more about the franchise they hate than the fans themselves. Some kind of longing towards the dark side and emotions within loss, hate and anger. A terrain yet to be explored within human psychology».
- «I believe that Netorare fetishists have latent submissive and masochistic tendencies that they are not aware of and that is why they are subconsciously attracted to the gender so that their subconscious can imagine being the cuckold. I think something similar happens with the NTR’s equally perverted cousin, theNETERASE».
- «I don’t give it much importance if feelings are not invested in the characters. It’s the opposite if I connect emotionally with the characters.».
- «I like to see other people suffer».
- «I watch netorare because after growing up with anime I’ve become completely fed up with the oblivious, submissive and clumsy beta protagonist. So seeing that little bastard get what he deserves fills me with pleasure.».
- «People get upset when other people have good women, so they portray themselves as the protagonist of that story. The sleazy man who steals other people’s women and gets away with it».
- «I’m a degenerate, that’s all you need to know».
- «If you want an in-depth answer, we would be entering social, psychological, emotional, philosophical, theological and personal territories. I prefer not to want to confess why I really like NTR and hate him equally. I will say this to avoid misunderstandings. I will never steal or like to be stolen from my imaginary or very improbably real partner in real life. I hate evil. In fact, sometimes evil is good in manga or anime. Enough for me to like it, but it’s my hormones talking. Rationally, I hate adultery or any form of cheating. People should be people, not mere animals in heat. You can discuss it in your relationships. There is no need to send someone a video of you cheating just to offend said victim. The NTR in his essence is hateful or promiscuous mixed with extreme masochism».
- «In short, NTR works usually have attractive drawings and animations. Of course, what makes NTR the forbidden fruit is the context of the character’s motives and actions in the story. I’ll be honest with you, why do some people enjoy NTR without context? It wouldn’t be them who enjoy NTR, but only the character designs and their sex scenes. It would be typical of porn. It is NTR because people invest their emotions in it. Emotions are necessary to enjoy or hate NTR to his full potential.».
- «I understand that sentiment, but when the woman in the doujin has a loving husband it breaks my heart to see her love break up or not come to fruition because of a dick (literally and figuratively)».
- «The first reason is that you need more of a stimulant after being numbed by vanilla. That’s just human nature at work with lust. Your body will end up “adapting” and will need more stimuli to get excited. At first, that stimulus would only require a better drawing or story and you would be satisfied. But as time goes by, you’ll find it harder to get aroused by that level of stimulation. From there, people would look for a higher stimulus, depending on each person’s personality and preferences. But one thing is for sure: it will become rarer and rarer. To the point where people might get turned on by ‘Guro’ or ‘Vore’. Yes, it’s that simple and that bad».
- «The second reason is because you are a natural cuckold. Some people have a specific fetish and that fetish could be cuckolding. They get turned on when they see someone letting strangers fuck their own wife/girlfriend. Why are you a natural cuckold? There are only two main reasons: Extreme masochistic tendency and to stimulate the instinct to compete. It’s a very contradictory feeling, I know, but it happens. They tend to have a very severe inferiority complex and are fine with sacrificing themselves for the happiness of their wife/wife, or so they thought. Little did they know that the very action of cuckolding is destructive for both you and her. Little by little, but surely, your relationship will worsen and you will become trash in their eyes. It doesn’t matter even if you are an alpha. And women are well known for being ruthless with society’s trash. It’s in your instinct to avoid genetic garbage».
- «Yes, it’s pretty bad. If you like NTR, I suggest you keep your hobbies at the fiction level. Never do it in real life. Even if your wife/wife finds out, warn them clearly that you won’t do it in real life. Role-playing games are fine, but be careful. Girls sometimes go a step further just to make you jealous and happy.».
