>Virginity in both men and women until their 30s is the norm, not the exception.

>It's a grotesque parody of sex, the fact that it's so detached from what actual copulation is like (scenarios of tentacle rape, hypnosis, futanari, etc.. abound) makes them paradoxically comfortable because they can feel safe that they are not watching how real sex happens.
The prevalence of "weird" stuff in hentai is most likely due to the retarded Japanese laws concerning censorship. It's okay to show an underage girl being brutally raped and tortured but God forbid that you show a glans or a clitoris. I suspect that this censorship led to focus on fetishes not involving the vagina (like the obsession with huge breasts) and tentacle sex was developed as an alternative to genuine sex since you don't have to censor tentacles, whereas you would have to censor dicks. So it looks to me that Japanese weirdness could be in part explained as an intended result of laws that tried to promote "decency" and instead ended up creating an incentive for further degeneracy.

>Harem is pure wish-fulfillment for otaku that wish a bunch of cute girls would pay attention to a loser like them. The MC never "chooses" one of the girls and never consummates the relationship because that would spoil the wish fulfillment: all the girls remain "pure" so you can choose your waifu without them "belonging" to the MC already.
Mainstream manga and LNs have been pushing the boundary of what is acceptable in non-hentai publications. There are plenty of stories where the MC actually fucks the girls in his harem. Check out the manga adaptation of
"Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo".
