Difference between seinen and josei

[bimbodoll]

last night i made a post asking about "seinen" recommendations and realized that i dont fucking know anything 💀 i thought seinen was a tag for pornhwa like josei so i asked so i most be fucking stupid 😭 but still thank you to those who weren't rude and answered me!

Seinen is a demographic aimed toward "Young Adult men" and Jousei is aimed toward "Young adult women"

Seinen and Jousei manga deal with mature themes compared to their younger counterparts, "Shounen" and "Shoujo". That means Seinen manga may have the same kind of content as Shonen manga but can deal with more darker elements with more realism, it can deal with sex and nudity which cannot be present in the younger counterpart, and the same goes for Jousei and Shoujo.

What you're searching for does lies in the category of Seinen and Jousei but since your focus is mostly on sex, you're better off using the "Pornographic" and "Erotica" tag in the advanced search for what you're searching for.

Seinen is targeted towards young male adults and josei is targeted towards young female adults.
So they have darker themes, and they also have smut in it.

rather than genre, its more like target audience
seinen = adult men (18+)
josei = adult women (18+)
shounen = young men
shoujo = young women

Also, they're totally japanese demographic tags, not korean nor chinese.

it seems like you came from a site like batoto. i use batoto sometimes if i cant find a work i want to read here on mangadex. a lot of the works there seem to be porn manhwa like you're searching for. on a related note, most of the works tagged with josei and seinen on batoto are each porn marketed towards adult women and porn marketed towards adult men. if your only references for what josei and seinen are like are those kinds of works, then it would be hard to tell the difference. even if they are both porn, seinen and josei porn portray their sexual scenarios differently. if you're used to one over another, you might not like the way the other one does things.
also, im going to be miffy over semantics: seinen and josei include things besides porn, so its pretty confusing when you use those two terms to describe things that are mostly porn. the way you describe those genres also makes it seem like you think that they only include porn, which feels thoughtless.
