Fetish of the Month December 2020: Ahegao

As we continue to learn about fetishes we find a common reoccurring instance of not knowing we have a certain fetish until it grabs our attention. One of the biggest fetishes to appear in 2020 is Ahegao (prounced ah-heh-gah-oh), when I hear the term I picture Jim Carrey saying it as Ace Ventura in his expressive fashion. Speaking of expressive, that is a big part of what this fetish is about. The term relates to a genre of Japanese anime and manga porn known as hentai. In Japanese, ahegao is a combination of the expression for panting (“aheahe”) and (“gao,”) which means face. You may not have heard of ahegao but if you follow porn you have seen it in popular films from Hentaied, Purple Bitch, Leah Meow and more.

Ahegao (pronounced ah-heh-gah-oh)

 

 

Ahegao has hit the scene hard in 2020 and into mainstream culture due to growth of porn on the internet and social media, new apps like Instagram, Twitter, and Onlyfans as the stars learn to navigate the rules of those forums. The allure of Ahegao derives from a facial expression characterized by rolling or crossed eyes, a wagging tongue with blushed cheeks and drooling. This look is commonly enhanced using makeup to be drawn on to intentionally exaggerate or create a surreal effect. It is a look that describes intense sexual pleasure or orgasm beyond the norm. Some of the history also labels it as the O-face. Ahegao was once kept within the confines of anime characters but is now trending more than every by fans who can’t get enough of the pleasured face. It’s history can be found in Japanese erotic art as early as 1960.

 

 

As a side note demand for Ahegao mainstream has led to development of ahegao t-shirts, hoodies, jewelry and more fashion apparel making the fetish into a fashion statement. This mainstream popularity has resulted in several anime and cosplay conventions throughout the United States to ban ahegao clothing at their events, citing that it exposes young attendees to sexual material. Feedback describe many as being uncomfortable, especially those attending with children according to a spokeperson for SunnyCon Anime Expo. Visitors wearing this clothing are forbidden to enter the even which has led to controversial discussions in the worldwide Anime community. Much of the obsession and content is seemingly innocent but quickly crosses into the x-rated genre.
