My understanding is that tentacle porn is actually a reaction to
Japanese porn censorship rules. See e.g.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography_in_Japan>
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tentacle_rape>

"Tentacled creatures have appeared in Japanese erotica long before 
animated pornography appeared; among the most famous of the early 
instances (and perhaps the first) is a Hokusai woodcut called The Dream 
of the Fisherman's Wife, depicting a woman entwined and sexually 
molested by a pair of octopuses." (sic)
