With this way of Thinking Even if you truthfully love someone and you 2 are together Thinking "sexually" about the person is a sin.( ̄∇ ̄") Idk I Think its stupid to Think that way. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ Plus do you know any other way to Just let this feelings in you outside besides Yaoi and Thinking that kinda way? (● ̄(エ) ̄●)
Maybe it's a sin, maybe it's not. From my religion's standards, it's definitely a sin but I believe a thought is harmless, really. So long as you're not acting on your thoughts, then it's fine, isn't it? I mean, you're not harming anyone with your thoughts, lol. Like, weigh out your options (at least this is how I think about it) having 'lusty' thoughts or engaging in immoral sexual acts? Which one's the greater sin in your opinion... in the end, rather than religion, it's all about perspective.
I'm a catholic and well having lust is a psychological factor that is normal to humans, you can't possibly stop it unless you're asexual. So does that mean asexuals are the only people who don't sin? oh, hell nah! so my answer is, God might consider that a sin but then God also made us this way, so it's just impossible. we don't even know if those words actually came out of his mouth so yahh.... kinda stupid ( ̄へ ̄)
Actually it is, since you're under the sin of lust and lust is considered as a capital or mortal sin ( not sure but google says it is a capital sin) since it is mentioned in the holly bible.
I'm catholic and I know that lust, masturbation and certain sexual thoughts or behaviours are sinful.
I do feel really guilty about it and I've tried to stop reading yaoi since I do believe and practice my religion, but it's been quite hard.
I don't know in what religion web site you saw that but at least under Christianity it is a really heavy sin.

They actually talk about inappropriate sexual conducts and it falls under that.

Everyone has different thoughts about religion and their views on sex. But then again, before a lot of things were sinful when it involved women whether it was menstruation, masturbation, or sex. I don't believe that engaging in sexual actions (or lustful thinking) is bad. I think it's just human. We can't be perfect, and nowadays that's not really considered sinful. So don't stress out too much and do things that make you happy (▰˘◡˘▰) even if it's just reading yaoi.
In a religious site they said that if you read about erotic books or fiction it΄s like having sexual thoughts and that is considered as lust who is a sin. Do you think that if we read yaoi and have sexual thoughts (that probably most of the yaoi readers have) are we sinful and go against God?
