A new lurker--the lurking will begin after this short burst of extroversion.

[Amanojaku]

In an effort to keep my chatter pertinent, I felt I might just follow the suggested questions, and if anyone is curious about something, they may ask in the thread.

My avatar name is Amanojaku (I'm sure you've noticed by now) and I took it from Japanese mythology. It is a tiny black yokai, not unlike the Western idea of an imp, that tempts men and women into committing acts in line with their darkest desires. Essentially, it makes you do what you really want to do, only could never admit to yourself much less anyone else. I've studied Japanese culture and translated Japanese language at the academic level for a few years now and I find it fascinating, and considering the nature of these forums, the nickname seemed very appropriate.

I am from North America and at the moment, I live in the American Midwest in a sprawling urban metroplex. Originally I'm from somewhere far colder and further north, but I find that being a little cryptic about this is more fun than just coming out and giving specifics. I doubt many of you care if I originated in a specific town in Montana, or from the lower east side of Chicago, anyway.

I've come to these forums in search of a sort of cultural awareness. Although I have lurked on many forums with hentai and more traditional photography for many years, I've only recently taken an interest in futanari. You might say that I am, in essence, a futanari-widow as my significant other is very much taken by the well-endowed ladies that have brought us together here. She finds them thrilling and considering our attachment, I thought it wise to learn more in order to influence my writing and art, to our mutual benefit. Her interest has become my interest, and now your interests will mingle with mine as well. I believe many of you will have useful advice on my hunt for plot-heavy high-quality futanari stories and anime to learn from. Likewise, I will try to share what I can as I find it.

As for my favorite kinks... I would say that I get turned on by the esoteric and arcane, the mystical and the difficult to understand. As you might imagine, I got quite a thrill from Bible Black, although I may have written a few part a bit differently myself. This isn't a blanket kink however, as magical school girls don't do much for me and tentacular demons from the pits of hell get a little cliche after awhile; but every now and then I run across a doujinshi or anime that gets my mind pumping as hard as my heart. I enjoy what you can't see just as much as what you can, the erotic as much as the explicit.

I have taken the time to read the rules, and will do my best to adhere to them. I don't suspect I will be posting a lot at first anyway, which should give me plenty of time to let the smarter practices sink in. I will probably spend the most of my time haunting the areas with images, doujinshi, and conversations about hentai anime, and if I find myself brave enough, perhaps I will post a few futanari stories to the appropriate forums. My art isn't very good, but I am working on it, and who knows? Perhaps this place will give me the inspiration I need to improve my drawing. My interests are all over the place, ranging from the academic and literary to the filthy and historical; I've recently been considering re-writing portions of the 'Pearl' as manga scripts, in case there are any avid artists who would want to take it on.

It is a pleasure to be here, and thank you to those that put the hard work into maintaining it.

Welcome, Amanojaku! I dig that creepy avatar.

[The Guardian]

Welcome!

You know, your background and intro post is very interesting, but I'm afraid I'm way too distracted by the fact your moniker is essentially the same as legendary artist Amanoja9, most famous for his TS I Love You mangas. (Amanoja9 is something of an abbreviation, his moniker is usually pronounced by Japanese as 'Amano Jaku' or some such. I forget the exact details.) Point is that the moniker origin is the same.

Mild obsession and easily distractedness aside, welcome. Here's to hoping the futanari kink and you get along like so much butter on toast.

After reading that, I did some digging about and his work is in fact pretty impressive. The particular imp at hand is a pretty common myth--using it meant inevitably stepping on someone's toes, but at least it isn't a local regular by the sound of it. Essentially the name suggests a form of divine perversion. Digging around, it looks like Amanoja9 favors 'Amano Jyaku' as a two word combination, which reads closer to the original Japanese but probably wasn't available on one of the boards, thus Amanoja9. As fitting my North American origin, I used the bastardized English version; I may as well be Gaijinjaku.

I wrote my first piece of futa erotica lastnight, and it got the desired result from the audience I intended it for--so the kink may not be too far beyond me. I will perhaps post it over in the writing area in the next week or so, and if it is well received, continue to do so as I go. Thank you for the welcome, even if somewhat distracted and mildly obsessive.

Thank you to the others as well.

Welcome! I am not as well educated as you on this topic, but I am also interested in yokai. ^__^b

I get turned on by (...) the difficult to understand.

I approve of this message.

[Bishiebunny]

I feel as though I have a kindred spirit, at least as far as babbling bun buns go. I'm afraid you might be a little disappointed if you're looking for much depth in the average futanari anime, even the most intricate manga/doujinshi tends to get paired down to its rawest form when it finally sees animation. And heaven forbid you want to see much in the way of FutaXMale or the more dominant sort of futanari who isn't attached to some mystical plot that will devolve into tentacles the moment the summoning circle is perfected.

Ah well.

Welcome to the forums, may you find whatever it is you are looking for, and perhaps a few things you never suspected.

I'll admit I'm guilty of the run-on sent-... no, that's a lie, the run-on mouth. I have always exhibited the gift for gab.

Well, sometimes you can kind of see the bits of story that made it in and connect the dots to check out the real plot behind what is happening. It's a lot like normal pornography that way--people get bored easily when what they want is to get off--but that doesn't mean we won't find the occasional gem hidden amongst the sad mass that makes it through production. I may end up the proud owner of a collection of 5-6 quality works by the time I'm dead, but I really can't help preferring that events at least have a context to make sense in. Someone out there has to want to craft something genuinely engaging, and if not, it can't be long before the kink finishes its ocean crossing and finds a more stable presence in a culture more accepting of futa in the mainstream. We can hope, anyway.

I think it would be interesting to see a story with a serious were-futanari style plot, where the character is genuinely (rather than fakely) bothered by their transformation, but really can't help it, having an actual crisis taking place internally. Perhaps a yandere or tsundere personality that manifests through being futa, due to a second buried personality or demonic possession.

Perhaps I'll write one like that at some point. Hmm.

And again, thanks for the welcomes.

You introduction intruiges me. Your name origin tells me of a legend I'm quite curious about and the fact you seem quite curious of futanari in a way that is different from the usual reasoning I've seen is rather endearing, wanting to understand your partners liking. I'd like to offer you a warm welcome.
