Huffstutter on Hentai
LA Times porn correspondent P.J. Huffstutter looks into the rising American popularity of Japanese hentai, "a genre of triple-X cartoons that explores the sexual frontiers in an incongruously childlike format." Huffstutter covers the history of hentai in Japan; the current proliferation of "more exotic and strange sub-genres, from alien hentai to demon and robot hentai"; the companies importing and distributing hentai videos in North America; and the question of whether hentai featuring childlike characters would run afoul of "virtual child pornography" laws.
