Hahaha, you had to work up the courage to come to a hentai site? That's pretty cute, tbh.
My first "pornographic" experience was also through erotic writing. While it wasn't a courage issue, it did take me a while to start liking hentai, since I honestly found it kinda gross at first. Glad that was just a phase :D
Ah! Thank you Ryuu-san! (O//O)
I think hentai is very artistically expressive, but from how I was raised, it was seen as indecent to like such things, so I had to kinda struggle with having a †˜dark’ side (as I call it). Once I realized that liking stuff like this was who I am and didn’t solely define me as a person, I just went for it! Although,since accepting my dark side, I can't help but notice she gets her way ALOT lol (^^)
