Wow... this is another thread that has taken off in great leaps and bounds. I see lots of opinions flying around that could be construed as flames or flame bait.
Before I go any further, I'm going to clarify a few words that I use and the context that I use them in.
1) Porn: any media that uses sexual content in a way that could be construed as arousing. This could be the classic movie Behind the Green Door, this could be an issue of Giant Jugs, this could be internet photos, this could be animated, or it could be written words. Porn is a very broad term.
2) Cartoon: This is a broad term I use for any animated work. Popular subcategories include Disney movies, anime, and shorts that are usually shown at animation festivals. Heck, a good argument could be made for a little flip book as a cartoon but I'm not going into that any further.
3) Hentai: This is a more focused category but still has several distinct subcategories and trends. I'll use the term hentai to describe any cartoon from Japan (or done in a Japanese style) that is intended to show sexual situations. There are a number of these that have been imported that show demon tentacle sex. Because this is so far from what people in North America is used to, they stand out in peoples memory even though there are other styles. There are some stories that focus on bondage, homosexual love, and even good old school girl crushes on their teachers. As a whole, the tentacle sex phenomenon makes up a minority of the hentai that I've seen.
Now that I've cleared up definitions, I'm going to write another post with my opinions.
