The hentai genre can be divided into numerous subgenres, the broadest of which encompasses heterosexual and homosexual acts. Hentai that features mainly heterosexual interactions occur in both male-targeted (''ero'' or ''dansei-muke'') and female-targeted ("ladies' comics") form. Those that feature mainly homosexual interactions are known as ''[[yaoi]]'' or ''Boys' Love'' (male–male) and ''[[Yuri (genre)|yuri]]'' or ''Girls' Love'' (female–female). Both ''yaoi'' and, to a lesser extent, ''yuri'', are generally aimed at members of the opposite sex from the persons depicted. While ''yaoi'' and ''yuri'' are not always explicit, their pornographic history and association remain.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.guidemag.com/temp/yaoi/a/mcharry_yaoi.html |title=Yaoi: Redrawing Male Love |publisher=The Guide |date=November 2003 |access-date=23 August 2013 |author=McHarry, Mark |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080417001927/http://www.guidemag.com/temp/yaoi/a/mcharry_yaoi.html |archive-date=17 April 2008}}</ref> ''Yaoi''{{'s}} pornographic usage has remained strong in textual form through [[fanfiction]].<ref>Kee, Tan Bee.

Hentai is perceived as "dwelling" on [[sexual fetishism|sexual fetishes]].<ref>{{cite journal|title=Peek-a-boo, I See You: Watching Japanese Hard-core Animation |doi=10.1007/s12119-008-9039-5 |volume=13 |journal=Sexuality |year=2009 |pages=17–31|last1=Ortega-Brena |first1=Mariana |s2cid=143481005}}</ref> These include dozens of [[Sexual fetishism|fetish]] and [[paraphilia]] related subgenres, which can be further classified with additional terms, such as heterosexual or homosexual types.

Many works are focused on depicting the mundane and the impossible across every conceivable act and situation, no matter how fantastical. One subgenre of hentai is ''[[futanari]]'' ([[hermaphroditism]]), which features a woman with a [[Human penis|penis]] or penis-like appendage in addition to a [[Human vulva|vulva]].<ref name="john3">{{cite web | first=John | last=Oppliger | date=12 March 2008 | url=http://www.animenation.net/ask-john-what-is-futanari-and-why-is-it-popular/ | title=Ask John: What Is Futanari and Why Is It Popular? | publisher=[[AnimeNation]] | access-date=1 May 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180215122237/http://www.animenation.net/ask-john-what-is-futanari-and-why-is-it-popular/ | archive-date=15 February 2018 | url-status=live | df=dmy-all}}</ref> Futanari characters are often depicted as having sex with other women,<ref name="john3" /> but many other works feature sex with men or, as in ''Anal Justice'', with both genders.<ref name="nagayama" /> Futanari can be dominant, submissive, or switch between the two roles in a single work.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Nagayama|first=Kaoru|title=Erotic Comics in Japan: An Introduction to Eromanga|date=2020|publisher=Amsterdam University Press|isbn=978-94-6372-712-9|location=Amsterdam|pages=221|translator-last=Galbraith|translator-first=Patrick W.|oclc=1160012499|quote=In sexual situations, the "shemale" can appear male, female and something distinctly other as "shemale." Roles as attacker or "top" (seme) and receiver or "bottom" (uke) can shift throughout the work. The same "shemale" character can be in the role of a sadistic female top in one scene, and in another play a masochistic male bottom who enjoys being disgraced by women. Top and bottom roles are not necessarily based on appearance. It is not rare to depict a "shemale" character who is actually the dominant one, but shivers in ecstasy while being whipped by a brawny man and brutally raped. Furthermore, each character has their own "gender identity" (sei jinin), which can impact reader identification and self-projection.|translator-last2=Bauwens-Sugimoto|translator-first2=Jessica}}</ref>
