I've noticed that high quality erotic CG artwork has a certain grasp of human perspective, such that characters are portrayed with femenine qualities and emotions. Good artists tend to have a firm grasp on female attitudes and clothing, while adding sexuality in any number of forms. Schoolgirls, office women, feudal Japanese characters, and any number of females can be drawn perfectly normal, or at least have some basis in reality, such that an artist without raging hormones could draw the same female in a completely non sexual situation. The female subject could simply be clothed, with a smile, and normal body proportions. But due to the inherent horniness of males towards females, various provocative elements are added- large breasts, flipped skirts, emphasized cameltoes, nudity and actual sex.
Compare this to the naked "horny slut" supermodel, with tongue hanging out, bent over with dripping pussy. I find this type of woman less realistic, and less appealing than a "normal looking" girl, quite attractive and cute, who happens to be in some sexual situation. In other words, the porn star who doesn't exist, versus the every day female who gets involved in a porn-like situation.
Japanese artists tend to recognize femeninity, and various female responses, including embarassment, shyness, willing provocation, and horniness. "Porn star" figures, on the other hand, display only raw sexuality with no basis in reality.
Perhaps the hentai medium is superior to average porn, since it can show the contrast between everyday human society and social normals with inhibited sexual urges. Porn itself is just sex, with no other reference. And live action porn movies or magazines have difficulty in showing anything other than raw pornography, lest they result to bad acting or poorly written text.
There was a time when US artists revelled in "society plus sexulity contrast," with cheesecake, pinup girls, fantasy art, and nudie mags of the past, but most have become relics. Why has pinup art died out? Perhaps women's lib and femenism have convinced society that girls are no longer objects, no longer foxy ladies with cute smiles and filled sweaters. But there is still regular porn in abundance. Check any adult magazine or web site, and you'll see typical "hot cum guzzling sluts who want hard cock now." I find this portrayal far less flattering to the female form than say, a normal but cute girl in an everyday setting mixed with any number of sexual situations. And this "normal everyday situation plus sex" can also be humurous and more provocative than say, some naked porn star.
