ANIME/MANGA IN GENERAL:
My friends and family know I like this and there's no problem with it.
HENTAI:
Nobody in my family knows about my passion for hentai (I think), but a couple of my friends do, and we joke about it sometimes. Although I'm the only one around with a real passion for anime/manga/hentai/stuff, the others either like or tolerate it.
I'm not planning ever to let anyone in my family know. That's... I don't know. It just wouldn't feel right. You don't talk about porn with your family. I don't believe in "Taboo subjects", but I wouldn't feel comfortable discussing something like that with, say, my parents. There's absolutely no need to, either.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with the way things are.
