Smut is defined as series that are regarded as profane or offensive, especially the ones that related to sexual content.
As well as smut exists in films, novels, music videos, it is also present in comics. Comics are visual reading materials that are commonly associated with the country of the rising sun, Japan.
( In Japan, smut comics (or also commonly called as smut mangas) are categorized by a few categories according to its orientation. A gay smut is called yaoi, and lesbian smut is called yuri. But the straight smut is not called hentai, since the meaning is not synonymous at all. )
The meaning of hentai is adult sexual content in an illustrated form where the FOCUS of the comic is placed on sexually graphic acts.
That was what makes smut is different with hentai. Smut usually consists of a sweet love story, with some blasphemous sexual content, while hentai is just a sexually graphic act with less or no storyline at all. This is why some people prefer smut, rather than mindless hentai consuming.
However, smut is pretty subjective. It is a scene where sexual situation is involved, and sometimes it is explicit. But for some people, a sexy scene which is censored can be considered smutty too. How smutty the materials are, it depends on the person that is consuming it. How dirty the smut is, it depends on the viewer’s moral value and own judgement.
