Titikei is available in an official publication for us :)
That’s the kind of hentai manga I would be fucking GLAD to own ^^
The information should interest some of you, Fakku is taking preorders for Titikei, the masterpiece by Ishikei (whom I formerly called Nise Midi Doronokai), uncensored, and translated to English.
You can own it digitally (on your hard disk, in your cellphone – which would mean longer and more frequent toilet breaks at work, lol), choose the paperback version (it would have my favour, the paper means it’s “the real deal”, it’s got a unique feeling).
The art is AWESOME, the stories a mix of nothingness (nothing worth mentioning, lol, plus there are several artworks without context) and happy sex, in the full-color range I think I have yet to find more gorgeous
I'll add a personal note: guys, if you don't have kids yet, that's even more reason to opt for the paper version.
You know why ?
Because once you're a parent and your kids grow old enough, you'll inevitably end up having to hide very well your porn books collections, in a carton, in a remote place where even for you it's not easy to take stuff.
Basically, it means the end of your time to enjoy printed hentai whenever you want or feel like, on a whim.
My point: enjoy it while there are no obstacles getting in your way ^______^
I don't use paper products on principle. Lumber industry is destroying way too many forests. Make it out of hemp, which is easily regrowable(not to mention some fun side effects) and then I'll go with paper.
How do you wipe your ass? If you've found a way to go paperless in the potty, I'd like to know!
I'm asking myself that question for all the movies in which people are stranged in places without toilet paper, and they live on the life until rescue comes.
Wiping with earth and water ?
Wiping with sand ?
How did people even wipe before the twentieth fucking century anyway ?!? OH GOD I JUST REALIZED I NEVER ASKED MYSELF THAT QUESTION
You'll use tree leaves or your hand.
The same way I do. Rags. You know diapers existed before the plastic disposable ones, right?
The earliest known paper product made specifically for rectal cleansing was made in China, in the 14th century. As far as mass produced, commercially available stuff, probably 1880s.
What they used was leaves, corn cobs, newspaper, magazines, catalogs, pretty much whatever.
From what I hear in India, they just use a couple of splashes of water. So yeah, there's that for you.
Rags, just wash them in laundry. Think of cloth diapers.
ewww
As for me, I still use TP. I make TP at work, so it's pretty much in my best interest to promote the use of it. And I get it for free, which doesn't hurt.
In a post-apocalyptic earth, you would hold the entire market on the TP supply.
It's amazing how the discussion managed to strand so far away from Japanese-style printed porn comics, lol.
I always seem to find myself needing TP at some point after reading the beloved Japanese-style printed porn comics. So I can see the connection.
I'd love to own the paperback edition, but the wifemonster doesn't exactly approve of my hentai collection. In fact, she supposedly doesn't even know about it.
Fun fact about paper vs. digital – studies have proven that reading things in the paper format is more satisfying and you retain the information better, due to the tactile sensation of holding the paper making it more real to the subconscious mind.
Not to mention that paper books don't require electricity.
Pretty sure you are getting your tactile function when you're touching yourself while reading it on the computer screen.
I generally prefer paper because it just feels more natural. Plus, I get more reading out of me if I don't stare at a screen.
I read a ton of books on my Kobo reader, but I still adore how it feels to read something on paper. It's more vivid, more fulfilling.
I imagine that for a full-color paper manga, the shock would be even greater.
About the study you mentioned, recent readers (like my beloved Kobo Glo HD ^^) have made sensible improvements. You swipe on the right or left to change a page, a bit like you'd change your page with a paper book. I also have a leather/compressed carton cover to protect my reader, that gives me the impression I'm not just holding a digital device, and it's got the feeling of a book because there's a right page (the reader in its case) and a left page (the solid cover of the book case)… it helps to make it "real" ^^
Also, good luck with "wifemonster", lol. You really should try to probe her about it and see if you can't eventually make a full disclosure, in order to live in peace
I have a Samsung Galaxy tablet, with a swipe right / swipe left to turn the pages with my manga reading app. And I chose a case that feels a bit like a hard back novel. so I get what you're saying about trying to replicate 'real' with digital device.
And share my love of futanari with my rather prudish wifemonster? Yeeeaah… that would go over like a fart in church.
