The other day I realized that I, a god fearing, dog petting, anime watching, doujin reading boy doesn’t watch hentai that often. In fact I’m sitting here and I couldn’t tell you when last it was. At least a couple months if not more. It certainly isn’t due to a lack of interest. There are a couple hentai that are so good I’ll probably remember them when I’m old and dying. The main issues with trying to keep up with hentai for me take form in two key areas.

First of all, holy shit if you thought anime had a slow release schedule this shit redefines slow. Episodes can be released months apart, sometimes even longer. I have many hobbies, like doujin reading, that require a check every day or at least every other day if you want to truly stay abreast of all the content coming out. I usually like to let doujins pile up for 3-4 days and then check to see if there was anything in the batch that sparked interest. It builds a habit. Now I don’t even think about it, I check them almost automatically. Sure some slip through the cracks undetected but for the most part I get to read and fap to the ones I want to. Hentai nowadays comes out at a way faster rate than it used to, but still not frequently enough to build a schedule around it. I keep thinking “okay, some new shit might be out next week” and then there isn’t, and then the next, and then suddenly I forget to check for months at a time. 

This shit was all in a single day, and that's not even everything released that day.

The second huge problem for me is that my fetishes are a bit under-represented in hentai. You see, hentai costs money. A lot of fucking money. So when a studio is picking which material to animate they probably are going to go for whatever they think is going to do well with the largest number of viewers. That means making “Big Dick John #27: Fucking Every Girl In The School In The Most Vanilla Way Possible :The Rebirth : The Animation”. If the gods smile upon me and I somehow receive a yuri scene, it’s usually a one hit wonder and lasts for a few minutes before it’s back to standard fucking. I can’t hate on a studio trying to make a return on their investment, but it does open my eyes to the versatility of doujins. Since they’re not quite as expensive, you get a much wider variety of options and said options receive new additions at a much faster rate. So on top of not being released that often, when the episodes are released they rarely contain some unique content and fetishes. Thus leading to months of drought in the hentai scene for me.

I used to think doujin reading and hentai watching went hand and hand, but now I wonder if that’s truly the case. At least on the same level of frequency. I’m not saying I prefer one over the other in terms of raw enjoyment, but I know I come back to doujins a lot more often. The perks of fresh material. Do you watch hentai that often? Do you come back to doujins a lot more, or about the same? Don’t wait 6 weeks for the next episode, go ahead and leave a comment below!
