How did YOU discover hentai?

My father had a computer virus that spouted Porn every 30 mins when I was 8... then I forgot about that shit until I was 14.

I honestly can't remember. I think either a friend got me into it or I discovered it on a random forum topic elsewhere that posted ecchi pictures. Not sure which came first.

I can't remember exactly but I am pretty sure it was through Internet.

I learned about hentai by mistake.... Oh what a beautiful mistake. It was during the same year I begun to become fascinated by anime. I was just looking around the interwebs for some anime to satisfy my need, when I came across it. After that there was no looking back for me. lol And I can't remember the age but it was at least in my teen years I think.

Summer Camp + a long bus ride with a person I didnt know + plus his 2 gigs of hentai on his psp = I got hooked

First, I knew about anime. Second, at the age of... I'm not sure, it's about 15 or so I guess, I start to get dirty like many peoples did. Third, because I like animes and are starting to get dirty, searched for it on the net, and voila, hentai spotted.

If I remember correctly, I think I was about um... 11/12. Found my dad's porn file on his computer (got to love recently view documents in windows). Within the mass collection of pictures of hot chicks doing what *cough* what they should be doing *cough*, I found a KOF Full color doujin. At the time, I was... hmm... this is interesting and left it.... "Pfft... cartoon porn lol"

A year later, my younger brother showed me something interesting he downloaded of LimeWire... Bible Black Gaiden. "HOLY SHIT THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!" as my eyes opened up to a whole new world.... till I saw the 2nd ep where heads go flying... My brother never lost interest though. He kept downloading monster /tenitical hentais and I always tell him to get some real stuff. Real is better!

Then few more years passed and I got HEAVILY into anime and manga. As my otaku passion grew bigger and bigger, this happened, "Omg this anime is awesome! The chick is so hot! I wonder what she is like naked... What did I just say? This isn't normal". So the real porn continued...

Then suddenly, during Year 12, real porn didnt get me 'excited' anymore... it felt really...um... unatural. Too scripted and too fake. Then the thought of that anime chick naked came into mind... so I google imaged it (*bows down to the almight power of GOOGLE*).

From then on... well I guess me joining Fakku answers that :D

First hentai, uhm well, a buddy said "Hey look, I've got something better then every porn." and... well... He was right, it was some Hentai, don't know the name, and then I stopped watching porns and started watching hentai.

Lol I'm So stupid, I lol'd so much after that joke! Shit, DO you still have the photo? I wanna see it

I would most likely have to say....

When I was around the age of 11, Transitioning into puberty and I still thought watching "Real Porn" was bad so I searched the internet and came up with a hentai game. It's been a hobby seeing the different styles and art forms ever since.

Golden Words my friend ALL HAIL THE ALMIGHTY INTERNET

Internet, hard to say when but my interest in anime came when I was 16 so a short while after that I guess...

I discovered hentai when I was still in primary school. (around age 11-12)
There's a girl I like, and so since my personal spirit is "gung-ho!, gung-ho!"
I decided to tell her that i like her.

She felt embarrassed, since I told to her openly, (Gung-ho!,Gung-ho!) in front of the class.

She slapped me.

So the answer is NO.
I found hentai while feeling sad about it. A friend of mine who's actually pretty good in drawing, give me a picture of her(a sketch he made) to soothe my spirit. (Gung-urk!)

I notice there's a curve which is "not-there" in the real life and began to take interest into this curve. I asked my friend "Where did you get the idea to draw this "absurd but pleasant" curve?"

He then show his inspirational source, a print of an anime girl, I think the character from "those who hunt elves" anime (the red/orange hair, naked)
He then resume to show me more of his work, which will then as they say, the rest is history.

That's how i discovered it.
P/s: the girl who slapped me had become a teacher, my "friend" is studying engineering. We still hang out together sometime, (not us three, but with some other friend.)

To think back, what will happen if the girl had accepted me? :)

googled anime images, and as I kept googling it eventually went from echi to hentai (:

Coincidence. . Coincidence to see. . .

I guess when I started google-ing for something.

Limewire? Newgrounds? I dunno. Prolly just surfing the net. I certainly did go looking for anime characters nude at a young age. I say them on TV or on the Computer or in a manga volume and was like I WANNA SEE HER NAKED. That's probably how it happened.
