    I'm pretty sure I do that all the time too and I'm not a woman.

    I am a pathological liar though.

    What I'm getting from this is that you are, in fact, a little girl.

    Everybody wants to be a man of action but are also scared of the actual field application.

    The Chosen One. Just kidding. On a site like this, it's more likely to be The Vault (basement) Dweller.

    What I really don't understand.

    Is the obsession with pantyshots, underwear (used and otherwise) and clothes (used and otherwise) that's prolific throughout anime. And manga. And even finds its way into TV.

    They are exaggerated extremes, but I... wonder. About your not comprehending them.

    The base of Yandere is the psycho stalker/lover. They wuv you very much until there is the implication real or imagined that someone or something is coming between and then the scheming and manipulative bit appears.

    Tsundere in it's varying grades is typically a defensive type of reaction. Hence "hiding embarassment" being mentioned here and there. Classically of course it's an aggressive or gruff denial. I suppose the appeal in the gap between the strong front and the feelings within. Thus it is always so very fun tease a tsundere.

    I don't understand the implied obsession of Japanese anime and anime porn to incest. I mean, "Onii-chan, my hips are moving on their own!" won't be a joke to Western observers if it isn't so prevalent that if someone gets called "onii-chan", even if not blood related or even if it's just to call someone older, the implied context is incest.

    So, why is incest a staple in Japanese anime porn?

    Might as well tack on rape fantasies.

    Trying to explain these while partaking in is difficult to do.

    "Sexy."

    There. I did it for him.
    McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.

    Rape fantasies are hardly exclusive to Japan though.
