How is it that drawing in a certain style can make a drawn depiction of person seem attractive to some who see it? I find it strange that we can view a non-realistic deception and still find the same aesthetic criteria we look for in a human or in a photograph. Does anyone know a scientific reason why human sexuality often stretches this far?

Nothing innapropraite has been posted. Just as long as it sticks to 'Anime' and 'Manga' we should be fine.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." That's a bit like saying Hey bullies! So yeah, this words thing isn't working, but I'll tell you what will

So a thread should be locked if the word porn is used? I checked the AUP before posting this and cant find anything that prevents me from making this post. If you want quote a rule that relates to this then go ahead.

But i didn't post any hentai. simply mentioning the word it doesn't breach any rule. If we where to use that criteria to judge whether this thread is inappropriate or not then simply quoting the rule which contains the word 'pornographic' as you just did is in itself a breach of the rule.
I find it kind of ironic that you both used the word hentai yourselves which you seem to be using as criteria to say I'm breaching the forum rules

rofl "How does yaoi, hentai, and yuri work?"
eerrm, when a man loves a man loves a woman loves a woman very much, someone with great artistic ability comes along and draws tentacles so that -

yknow what I'll stop there. Go to 4chan or some other forum if you want to know more about "human sexuality".

4chan!!?? Maybe i did made a mistake using the word hentai but honestly its no no breach of the rules. I'm just curious as to how a drawn image of a person can be "handsome" or "pretty". I wanna steer clear on the whole perverted world of 4chan tbh.

I only mentioned hentai because without the ability people to find drawn images attractive it wouldn't exist

you know what yaoi yuri and hentai are right...? It's all pronz. 3/5ths of your original question was about why people would want to have sex with drawn images...

Well saying it is probably the wrong way to do that.

I also used the words anime and manga, in short I'm talking about aesthetics nothing else i want to know what makes people find any drawn image of a person attractive. Anime and Manga use character aesthetics to a degree as well.

I think whats happened is that the context of the question has been misinterpreted. and people think that I'm asking why people like to get off on hentai when what I'm actually ask is how drawn character aesthetics are attractive.

If you are asking what makes people be aroused by whatever it is that they find arousing, then I'm sorry. You just can't break that down into a science. Some people find cartoon breasts attractive, others (like me) do not. You can't make a scientific or mathematical algorithm to calculate what a person will or will not find arousing.

I'm sorry but i need to change my pants because ive just wet myself laughing.
Just so you know where your going wrong by posting this;

Yaoi - Male homosexuality
Yuri - female homosexuality
Hentai - hetrosexuality **cough beas- better not

All very strange to ask about on here since its more a child friendly enviroment.

Anime as a drawing style is from traditional japanese art and murals. Sharp facial features, exagerated proportions and the rest. As of late distinctive hair styles and clothing have been added in the new generations of this and it is now called anime.

People appeal to the fact that its a representation of a human, doing something that they probably never do. Especially the people who make it.

This is probably something for/from 4chan to be honest

That's like me saying "Abstract art, Impressionism, Hardcore, Softcore, Bondage, How does it work?" And then defending myself by saying i just want to know why van goh art looks good. It doesn't matter what the actual question is so much as you're straight up asking about porn.
