Uh, there are plenty of very erotic Japanese dating simulation-type games for 18+ that are geared towards women. Not all erotic games are for men.

I know. Those are not called "eroge." That word is usually reserved for male-targeted stuff.


Not necessarily. My Japanese husband calls them both eroge. Since ero-ge just means erotic game, it's not exclusive at all. There are certainly more commonly used terms in official (magazine and such) settings, but the same thing could be said for male-oriented games too.

As far as I knew, "eroge" referred to porn games period. This is the first I'd heard that it referred specifically to the ones for guys. Is there a different term for the ones for girls then? I'm not saying you are wrong, its just the first I'd heard of there being a distinction between the two.

Eroge is a broad term, but generally has the connotation of male lead dating female characters. It still includes the other way around. But a lot of times those are referred to as Otome games (or less often, Josei muke).
