Futanari
Definition and Origins
The Japanese term futanari (二形?, dual form) traditionally refers to a hermaphroditic person, possessing both male and female genitalia. Over time, this term evolved to include intersex or cross-dressing individuals and is also related to Buddhist concepts and androgyny. During the 20th century, the use of futanari in everyday language declined, being replaced by terms such as ryōsei (両性?, dual sex) and chūsei (中性?, neutral sex) for intersex individuals, and andorojinī (アンドロジニー?, androgyny) for androgyny. This linguistic evolution reflects sociocultural changes and perceptions of gender and sexuality in Japan. Historically, the concept of futanari has also been explored in literature and arts, offering a unique perspective on sexual identity and androgyny within the Japanese context. This cultural richness shows how deeply the notion of sexual duality has been integrated into various aspects of Japanese society.
Use in Pornography
Starting in the 1990s, the word futanari was adopted by Japanese pornography to specifically describe women with exaggeratedly large penises, particularly in the hentai genre. This genre emerged in Japanese pornography in the late 1980s and became popular in the 1990s thanks to influential mangas like Hot Tails by Toshiki Yui and Ogenki Clinic by Haruka Inui. The website www.futafilms.com is a reference in this field, offering content exclusively designed for futanari enthusiasts, with exceptional production quality. In addition to the term futanari, other designations such as shīmēru (シーメール?, shemale), dickgirl, or new-half (ニューハーフ?, referring to transsexual women) are also commonly used. This type of pornography stands out for its ability to blend elements of fantasy and reality, creating captivating and visually striking scenarios. The stories presented in these works often explore themes of transformation and identity, offering viewers a unique and stimulating experience.
Characteristics and Popularity
Futanari productions feature women with both a vulva and a penis, or more rarely just a penis. These characteristics are often depicted disproportionately, with penises reaching up to 90 cm. This genre is mostly present in hentai mangas and animes and is particularly appreciated in dōjinshi amateur circles. It is often combined with other genres such as humor, parody, romance, or horror. A notable distinction exists between shemales in Western pornography, perceived as feminized men, and futanari, perceived as phallic women, thus giving the genre a more lesbian context. This growing popularity is also fueled by dedicated online communities where fans can share and discuss their favorite works. Forums and social networks play a crucial role in the dissemination and appreciation of this genre, bringing together enthusiasts from around the world.
Interpretations and Realizations
Patrick Drazen, a manga specialist, believes that the main appeal of this type of pornography is seeing women experience the same sexual urges as men due to their penis. He notes that futanari generally have a strong libido and some consider their erection as a distinct entity. This can be compared to the experience of adolescents during puberty. Although this genre is mainly present in mangas and animes, there are also productions featuring real actresses wearing exaggerated dildos, reinforcing the idea that futanari are an extension of the lesbian strap-on theme. The films and series available on www.futafilms.com perfectly illustrate this trend, offering realistic and immersive scenes that captivate the audience. The production quality of these works is often praised, with particular attention to visual and narrative details to create an immersive and convincing experience.
