The tentacles in hentai tend to be disappointingly sucker free though. It's a desecration not unlike the nippleless girls in Love Hina.
Right, that's my chances of ever obtaining elected office settled.

OCTOPUS IN RED WINE
(Htapothi krasato)
INGREDIENTS
1kg (2.25lb) young octopus
8tbsp olive oil
350g (12oz) small onions or shallots
150ml (0.25pint) red wine
6tbsp red wine vinegar
225g (8oz) canned tomatoes, roughly chopped
2tbsp tomato puree
4 bay leaves
2 tsp dried oregano
black pepper
2tbsp chopped parsley
DIRECTIONS
First clean the octopus. Pull off the tentacles, remove and discard
the intestines and the ink sac, the eyes and the beak. Skin the
octopus and wash and scrub it thoroughly to remove any traces of sand.
Cut it into 4-5cm (1.5-2inch) pieces and put it into a saucepan over
medium heat to release the liquid. Stir the octopus until this liquid
has evaporated.
Pour on the oil and stir the octopus to seal it on all sides. Add the
whole onions and cook them, stirring once or twice, until they color
slightly.
Add the wine, the vinegar, tomatoes, tomato puree, bay leaves, oregano
and several grindings of pepper. Stir well, cover the pan and simmer
very gently for 1-1.25 hrs, checking from time to time that the sauce
has not dried out. If it does - and this would only happen if the
heat were too high - add a little more wine or water. The octopus is
cooked when it can be easily pierced with a skewer.
The sauce should be thick, like a runny paste. If any of the liquid
separates, remove the lid from the pan, slightly increase the heat and
stir until some of the liquid evaporates and the sauce thickens.
Discard the bay leaves and stir in the parsley. Taste the sauce and
adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve, if you like, with rice and a salad. A baguette to mop up the sauce.
SERVES 4-6.

I recently tried to find a print of The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife for a friend's birthday, and was shocked to find that seemingly nobody sold one. You'd think with all the tentacle rape lulz on the internet, someone would be doing it, at least illegitimately.

I'd flag this as being a sucky post, but then people might think I am a prude.
But seriously, a link to a Flickr group that collects images without proper citation? If it was it's own site (or had some small amount of original content) then it might not be completely worthless.
Ah, fuck it. I'll be a prude.

Are there people who are actually attracted to squid or octopus? As in [whiplash head turn] Wow! Look at that fine squid! Whoo! [fans self with hand]. Or is the attraction in this primarily the fact that it's happening to somebody else and not you?
Well, there's probably somebody. But then - are some squid more attractive to that somebody than others are? And why?
Well, probably in fact for every type of squid type there's somebody who finds that type attractive but doesn't care for any of the others.

Yes, it's always been allowed. It's classified as art, not porn, but there's little difference (except that there are more target-rich environs out there, if you're looking for more standard porn).

I've seen all those pictures before. I guess that shouldn't surprise me considering what a niche topic it is, but for something with so little content it sure does pop up around the web a lot.
For some interesting paintings along these lines check out Camilla d'Errico's work. [Link vaguely NSFW and may contain irritating flash interface if you check out the rest of the gallery.]

I have always considered myself quite outré and worldly in my awareness of fetish and deviance.
And yet, that "sex" + "cephalopods" = a long-standing category of pornography/erotica, has just blown my mind.
Clearly, I must re-establish my self-image as a dull, schoolmarmish suburbanite.
