Netorare (寝取られ, lit. "cuckold", also commonly abbreviated as NTR) is a notoriously controversial genre of [[Hentai]] (or in rarer cases, [[Ecchi]]), with [[Pet Peeve Trope|a degree of infamy]] perhaps rivaled only by full-blown [[Guro]]. Even the horniest [[Image Boards|/d/viants]]

Of course, the parties involved may be of either gender. [[Most Writers Are Male]], so commonly it's the woman who engages in the proceedings. Also, it doesn't have nearly the same effect if the [[Harem Genre|genders are switched]]; in fact, [[Double Standard|most of the guys love it.]]
Line 11:
As one might effortlessly predict, many people seriously detest this genre/trope. It might have to do with the oft-idealised nature of relationships in the anime/manga culture, along with the fanbase's obsession with [[Purity Sue|purity]] -- a phenomenon apparent by the popularity of tropes like [[Sacred First Kiss]], [[Lolicon]], [[Yamato Nadeshiko]], or [[Moe]]. That is to say, Otakudom seems to have a strong connection with a specific, sugary perception of romantic relationships, built around pure, sincere, genuine commitment. Hence Netorare, being at the opposite side of the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]], tends to rub people the wrong way. In spite of all the hate, some people are genuinely attracted to this kind of stories, for [[Mind Game Ship|various]] [[My Girl Is a Slut|reasons.]] Inversely, most fans of the genre are also obsessed with purity, which is what makes it all the more enticing when that purity is broken.
See also [[Adult Fear]], [[Defiled Forever]], [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]], [[Please, I Will Do Anything!]], [[Sacred First Kiss]], [[Scarpia Ultimatum]], and [[Your Cheating Heart]]. Very often features an [[Idiot Plot]], and is perhaps one of the few non-comedic techniques which may execute it [[Tropes Are Not Bad|to good effect]]. The reverse of netorare is netori, cuckolding someone else's love.
