<snip stuff about the meaning of 'hentai'>


Umm... there's a difference between three 'words' that all come from the
same word.

"Hentai" is sick and twisted and perverted.
It also means 'changed'.

"H" means something not so perverted, but has stuff like shower scenes,
etc.

"Ecchi" is more gentle than 'H', and it can be considered as a compliment
at times.

<comparison of Cutey Honey, Urotsukidojii, and Ranma 1/2 snipped.>
Kun-chan...


Could someone please explain to me the word sukebe? Some people have told
me that is is between ecchi and hentai and just means lewd, but others have 
told me that sukebe is much worse than hentai.
