CAN YOU GET PERVERTED ANIME NOSEBLEEDS? (ANIME VS REALITY)
Nosebleeds from sexual arousal...
We’ve all seen those anime scenes where a guy catches a glimpse of a girl undressing, maybe she’s in a revealing outfit, or acting seductive to the guy. She could be flat out naked. And then suddenly blood shoots out of his nose!
A very iconic scene in Japanese anime and manga. Frequently used as a metaphor for sexual arousal. The nosebleeds can range from just a trickle, to full on fountain gushing. And in some cases, it even serves as a plot device, such as in Dragon Ball with Master Roshi.
Some say, it’s meant to be a powerful way to show the immediate change a person goes though when sexual arousal is induced. Others say it’s really more about the nervousness.
Then there’s the most obvious, an imagery for blood flow to the guy’s nether regions. And taking that one step further, the explosive, projectile nature of the nosebleed is said to be like an ejaculation!
There’s also the idea that the reason for the nosebleed metaphor is because you can’t show a boner in anime. So they had to get creative. Also one doesn’t even need to be capable of a boner to have pervy nosebleeds as some female anime characters also demonstrate this bloody trait.
Ok so, is this real? Does this happen to people in real life?
Shocking as it may be, it doesn’t seem to be backed by medical science. This probably only happens in the anime and manga world, although there are a few real life examples of this happening, but surely it’s just coincidence? Otherwise all late middle schools and high schools would be like a scene from Saw!
But how did pervy nose bleeds become a thing in Japan?
It’s actually existed for a while now. Manga artist Yasuji Tanioka is believed to be the first person to have introduced this nosebleed motif with his early 1970’s manga (Yasuji no Mettameta Gaki Dou Kouza). Subsequently, other Japanese artists liked the expression and began replicating it in their own works. And, we pretty much know where it went from there.
A bit of anime history to end things there.
