Quick update. Found an interesting article about the first (perhaps) Hentai/JRPG game ported to western PCs (not counting MSX): Cobra Mission: Panic in Cobra City.
Link: archived site
It was translated and enhanced by Megatech, also known for their port Knights of Xentar (aka Dragon Knight 3 in Japan) and Power Dolls.
The article explains the origin of Cobra Mission and the differences to its Japanese counterpart.
It was released under a NR-18 rating only, while with Knights of Xentar and other games, there was a censored and +18 version released.

Unfortunately, the article linked is clean, no nudity shown whatsoever.
But there are other places.. ;)
PS: Please check the specs. The ported games seem to make use of the standard resolution modes of EGA/VGA (mode 10h and 12h, respectively ).
So they're not bad for testing graphics fidelity of your vintage PCs.
Edit: I've double checked and the game does indeed seem to support both EGA and VGA..
Moreover, it has support for MCGA. That might be interesting to some of the lo-fi fans among of us (among some of you). ;)
What's interesting though - it's not just a matter of using different graphics modes, apparently.
The game has three different sets of graphics files, maybe.
Edit: Or maybe not? I'm simply basing my reasoning on how quickly the pictures/GUI background elements are drawn in the lower res graphics modes.
While downscaling from VGA to MCGA is possible on the fly, it should slows things down a bit, which I didn't notice so far.
If we look closely, we see that each higher end version has more detail and a slightly larger view-port (MCGA has smallest GUI, but a bit more picture height than EGA).
That's why I've chosen the scene of the shop girl. We can see that the text on the vending machine goes further down.
Also interesting is how the EGA graphics set does slightly vary from MCGA and VGA.
In the EGA set, some bottles have labels with text, whereas it's absent in the other versions.
The dithering is more subtle, too. Edit: Maybe due to a palette related difference.
Anyway, I just thought I should let you know. If you have a real EGA setup, Cobra Mission might be an entertaining game to try out.
It's not so much about the Hentai part, but the funny dialogue (80s trash talk) and humor. And its place in history. ^_^
Edit: Screenshot attached (real CRT).
Edit: Some more pictures over here. ;)
