Netorare kink

Sometimes referred to as NTR, the acronym stands for netorare, which translates to “cheating” in Japanese. While the term is similar to cuckold (“husband of an adulterous wife”) the couples involved here are not in a marital affair.

So, short for Netorare (寝取られ), a Japanese term that literally means “to have your lover taken away.” In anime, hentai, and eroge, NTR describes stories where a character’s romantic partner is seduced or stolen by someone else, often while the protagonist is forced to watch or finds out after the fact.

Context:
Unlike traditional cuckold scenarios—which usually involve married couples—NTR can happen in any relationship, from dating to fiancés. The kink thrives on feelings of jealousy, betrayal, and helplessness, blending psychological tension with eroticism. For some, it’s about the thrill of taboo; for others, it’s pure heartbreak fuel.

Example Usage:

• “Be warned—this doujinshi is hardcore NTR. The protagonist’s girlfriend is stolen by the rival.”
• “NTR kink isn’t for everyone, but it definitely has a devoted fanbase in the hentai community.”
