Why do straight guys hate yaoi and straight girls are fine with yuri?
This question has been in my mind for quite awhile now. Well, most straight guys i know irl who tried reading yaoi were grossed out and said that it was too much for them. And me (a hetero woman) is fine reading yuri (i also read smut and stuff lol). Not just me tho, i am sure there are many straight women out there who also read yuri. My point is, if women can do it why can't men too? Is there a particular reason? Can someone explain it to me please?
I think most straight women wouldn't be interested in yuri. However, for men, unlike for women, there's a repulsion. That's simply because of toxic masculinity+homophobia. Same reason women hugging is okay but men hugging is “gay.” Same reason many straight men are opposed to prostate play, they think it'll make them gay or less of a man even i...... reply
Story as old as time... Women are known, since early historic docs, to be much more sexually... "flexible" than men. Even now a days, its considered "normal" for a woman to have had at least one same sex sexual interaction before she hits 30. Men, on the other hand, arent as accepting to "trying" and "exploring" as women are, and even physical cont...... 1 reply
Excuse me, but whoever claims that men not licking yaoi, is because of "toxic masculinity - homophobia'' needs really to stay away from feminists sites and tumbrs for a while. Toxic masculinity, really? REALLY? What kind of a sexist things is this? Especially coming from people who are reading yaoi and they are supposed to be tolerant and open min...... 4 reply
Im a straight female and I'm not a fan of yuri. It usually boils down to most people Who are straight are attracted to the opposite sex no matter if it's hetero porn gay porn of the opposite sex. If you don't have an attraction to the same sex it makes sense you don't get any sort of arousal or enjoyment from your sex having sex with each other. 1 reply
Well, i'm also a hetero woman but i don't like yuri. I believe that it's because when you see 2+ people having sex and it's homo and you are the same gender as them, you might put yourself in their shoes or you just not find it hot enough? Idk, and also men have a thing with their sexuality, with the people around them telling them they must be rea...... 2 reply
i think youre generalising? i mean i have read some of the bl (and gl) mangas together with a straight friend of mine during highschool and he wouldnt be grossed out? i mean even if he did he mustve been hiding it really well bc he would always tell me about updates lmao. also my brother isnt grossed out when he sees or reads together with me but h...... 4 reply
I was going to try to explain this but as I was typing my thought process down I realised how ridiculous it all sounded. Hell even as a guy myself I couldn't possibly know.
I remember some weird articles floating around a few years ago about how all women are bisexual to some extent but I have no idea if that's true or not. Maybe it's just due to...... 1 reply
I don't know about straight girls liking yuri. I'm a emotionally bankrupt & asexual, so I'm uncomfortable with seeing other women being romantic or sexual.
As for why straight men are so aggressively homophobic, it's a cultural thing stemming from archaic religious teachings that boys are raised on that makes no scientific sense, since less hetero...... reply
Well, that's a tough question to answer.
It really all boils down to someone's preference, hobbies or tolerance. For example, as a straight woman myself, I can tolerate reading yuri. I wouldn't read it as a hobby though, as it tends to make me feel a bit uncomfortable. In the beginning, I hated reading it because of how uncomfortable it made me, bu...... 2 reply
