I think I may have misunderstood something. You seem to be saying you grew up in Japan and your culture is that of the Japanese. Even if that's the case, it doesn't really change anything. You see Japanese men reading mature things on the subway. That doesn't mean they're any more perverted than anyone else. Guys read stuff like that all over the world. They're just not as reserved about that sort of thing in Japan. But this is getting to be a debate about whether men are perverts or not. I'm sure there's a thread about that in length somewhere in KMC formums but this is supposed to be about whether or not watching hentai makes you a sick and demented person.
For having grown up in Japan, I'll compliment you on your English abilities though.
