I for one need to get more interested in girls in a few years.Mind telling me what ecchi is?I heard its kinda like hentai but not as perverted.
As said before, in a few years I might start look at it and I dont wonna get viruses trying to search, what it is on google(Why didnt I use the wikipidea?)
So mind telling me what it is?
I need it to get a bit more interested in girls but not become a huge porn0 perert like some grade 7 to 8 students at my high-school
damn my 12 year old friend already talking about him trying to get a girl to have sex with x.x Teenagers that are 12-14 are usually such wannabees and so immature...You didnt need to know that but I am not gay and I indeed have male instincs

The word "ecchi" is etymologically derived from the japanese pronunciation of the letter "h", this is the first letter in the word "hentai", and that maens pervert.

Gigi is right
"ecchi" is how the Japanese pronounce the letter "H" (hentai). When something is classified as "ecchi" it usually means it is mild hentai - a little flashing, mild nudity here and there, and some dirty talk, e.g. Love Hina.

Okay an example of someone who is Ecchi is... i say person 1 looks mainly at pornography, lusts after young women/men, and generally has indecent thoughts. Ecchi is a lewd person, one who lusts after human flesh, WHILE hentai is a person rather going for the more odd sexual tastes which usualy go hand and hand with pervertedness.

Ummm, you don't have to have odd sexual tastes to be called "hentai". -__- "Ecchi" is only used as a description (you don't say, "kono ecchi!") while "hentai" can be used as a noun, i.e. "sawannaide, kono hentai!" (don't touch me, you lecher!)

To make things short, ECCHI = mild pervertedness. HENTAI = more hardcore.
