Your Doujinshi of hentai tag kemonomimi

In Japanese cartoons in general, and in the sexually explicit version of Hentai, we regularly encounter rather special types of characters. These come from the imagination of the cartoonists, but are also the result of local beliefs and legends. These are mainly anthropomorphized characters, through which the artists feed the wildest fantasies of their readers. The most radical form of this type of character is the Kemonomimi. They are often depicted in sexual cartoons because they satisfy a phantasmagoric need that is both bestial and taboo.

What is Kemonomimi?
Etymologically, Kemonomimi means "animal ears" in Japanese (Kemono: animal and Mimi: ears). It is a term used mainly in Japanese comics (animated or not) to indicate characters who have animal ears. In most cases, these animal ears are present in addition to the usual human ears.

What is the purpose of drawing characters in Kemonomimi?
In Japanese culture, beauty features are often borrowed from the animal world, both in terms of qualifications and aesthetic accessories and transformations. The same goes for physical attributes, such as strength and agility, but also for intellectual and psychological abilities. The goal of the Kemonomimi is to present characters that fully reflect their various animal abilities and strengths in a human nature. In this way, Kemonomimi satisfies the fantasy of seeing humans endowed with abilities possessed only by animals, but also of humans and animals living together, even in the realm of sexual relations. This justifies the strong propensity for hentai cartoons featuring Kemonomimi characters.

Kemonomimi, a radicalized anthropomorphism
In the field of animated designs, it is very common for designers to use anthropomorphism for their characters. Anthropomorphism consists of giving a human appearance and morphology to objects or animals. Kemonomimi characters are the most radically anthropomorphized, as they look almost human. Their animal characters usually consist only of the ears and, in most cases, the tail. The rest of the anatomy is completely human, in terms of skin, face, torso and even general parts.

The Kemonomimi in Hentai
As you know, in hentai the characters have out-of-the-ordinary shapes, appearance and both physical and sexual measurements. It is also the place where no moral censorship is made to sexual practices, it is free expression without taboos. This is done to allow readers to experience through their characters, their sexual impulses repressed by society. Kemonomimi's characters facilitate the achievement of these two objectives, without forgetting that their particularity is quintessentially sexual. This is why they are very popular in Hentai.

Kemonomimi's unusual sexual and physical performance.
Most of the limited physical performances of humans are naturally extrapolated in animals. The same is true of sexual performance. For example, the exaggerated virility of the horse's limb or the cat's agility. By identifying with Kemonomimi's characters, the reader has the feeling of sharing these same faculties. They experience a sexuality transposed through these characters. Thus, the reader feels as vigorous as a horse, or the reader as agile and feline as a cat.

Free sexual expression, without taboos
Having a sexual experience with animals, seeing them mate or appropriating their bestial character during sex, are fantasies of many people. However, social morality and religious education are obstacles to the expression of these desires, which are repressed. Through the anthropomorphized animal characters that the Kemonomimi, it is possible to live freely through their loves, one's own phantasmagoric desires.

The sexual quintessence of the particularity of the characters of Kemonomimi
Hearing is a sense organ and a sexual attribute of great importance in Japanese culture. That is why the traditional Japanese woman covers her ears with her hairstyle. She leaves them uncovered, releasing the hair, when the sexual act is approaching. The action of releasing the ears is a sexual invitation, or if you prefer, a sign of her sexual heat. Symbolically, the prominent animal ears protruding from the human ears of the Kemonomimi characters is a sign of great freedom, especially in sexual terms.
