Too Pure to Fap To? A Philosophical Look Into Attraction.
0
I've thought about this one before. Quite a few times, in fact.
For me, it figured like so:
It really depends on how the hentai work is portrayed.
For instance, I cannot stand most representations of actual raep of my favorite characters. It simply bother me.
And, on characters that I've grown absurdly attached to, occasionally a well written doujin will feel like voyeurism, and put me off.
On the other hand, even for characters that exude the "Do not touch; Fragile" feel, I've seen a number of doujins that are done in either a "Loving first time" or First Person Perspective, and those are usually just fine.
Hell, FPP doujins are best.
So,, I guess what it comes down to, in the end, is how willing you are to see something you have an emotional connection to be raeped horribly by someone/thing.
For me, not really. For others, fap away.

Your Weird Cousin
I can somewhat relate to what you folks have been talking about. I have always had a very strong "Big Brother Instinct"... basically, when I become very well-acquainted with some women and get to know them in a friendly manner, I can sometimes inadvertantly develop an protective impulse or drive that keeps me from even considering trying to woo or seduce her. It's like the primitive, caveman instinct to mate with every available female around gets overruled by what can only be described as an almost familial bond.
Needless to say, this has gotten in the way of me getting laid many times, as at that point most women have dropped me into the much dreaded "friend-zone". But I digress...
I usually find that what triggers this instinct most is a vulnerability displayed by some of these female acquaintances. It's hard to pinpoint exactly where a sexy, attractive girl suddenly transforms into a sad little puppy needing a home... still, complete strangers or even casual acquaintances aren't likely to ever show that sort of vulnerability, at least not publicly, so finding the girl at the bus-stop sexy or being attracted to the hot cashier at the coffee shop is not an issue.
However, drama and fiction is all about showing the private pains of characters publicly. My theory is that seeing an actress perform that same vulnerability, or an animated/drawn character display some similacrum of it, can easily trip off that same instinctive "Big Brother/Protector" drive that can elicit a non-sexual attraction. Of course, this is just my theory...

I used to think Konata (Lucky Star) was an adorable girl, and I'd stock up on pics of her. I've just completed the series, and now I can't do it. I can't look at her sexually, she's too pure and wonderful for something like that. Tsukasa and Miyuki as well, although I still am attracted to Kagamin, I have a thing for Tsunderes....
So yeah, I totally feel you man. You start to feel attached to these characters in an almost friendly way, like you know them in real life.
Still, Kagami though ;)

Taste also changes over time. like when we were kids, we hate veggies and love meat, then when we grow up, veggies don't taste as bad as we initially thought it would. Just like me and my recent BDSM fetish (thanks, Nana to Kaoru!)
We grow more exposed to various stimulations, the resistant we grow to it, no matter how attractive or sexually appealing it was.

I think I know what you're getting at. There have been instances when I love a manga or anime so much that it just feels wrong to gaze upon the naked bodies of a character that I know would never ever do that.

It's not the case of too pure to fap, but I can only fap to some anime characters, for instance Nodoka from Magister Negi Magi, I can only fap to her if she is having a fair sex with Negi...And also with most of all other anime girls I watched (Konata from Lucky Star, Yui from K-ON, Kanade from Angel Beats)...

At first I thought this topic was kind of 'weird' but then as I think back there are characters who I vowed to never find a doujin of. This would be Akari from Aria, or any of the characters from Aria for that matter. That anime truly is a sacred anime that one should live by to prevent people from asking questions such as the OP's in the first place. I never supported the whole fapping to pictures and what not (probably cause of social stigma) but can't say I am not guilty. Anyway, I personally think it's out of utter respect for those characters in Aria would I never taint their beautiful image. Long live Aria.

I do truly understand the feeling of reserving certain characters or themes to an 'off-limits' category. Though I personally don't have anything in that respect.
Anything can, has, or will be made erotic. At such a time, I'll either find it appealing or I won't. While I have my own tastes, I don't really hold any restrictions on one thing or another.
