Okay I have had bad experiences reading Yaoi. And I really want to know why people are obsessed with them since it doesn't really intrigue me. I just want to know a what makes yaoi intriguing to people. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    I just liked it, even if there was rape. I was like "wth this is wrong... well doesn't matter, i like it"

    I just simply liked it haha.
    Why was your experience bad? If it is because of the rape/forced sex we can give you some nice stories :D

    Because I was born female.

    I used to read shoujo's. But then I discovered yaoi. The romance in yaoi just feels more passionate and intense in my opinion. Whereas romance in shoujo is fluffy and sweet. Too fluffy and sweet to my taste now. Although on occasion, I still do read shoujo manga. But only when the story is really really good and not all too girly.

    I wondered why too so I asked the wise Master Google and I was blessed with several answers.

    1. Women like reading about two hot men getting all down and dirty as they display a vulnerability which is rarely shown in non-yaoi manhwas/mangas.
    2.Uke and seme characterization is way more attractive to a female because two individuals with the same physicality are deciding their sexual position and the role in their relationship is based on whether they are a seme or uke rather than being born to a gender, hence an illusion of seeing the characters having the power to lead a life they please is also another aspect that attracts a female.
    3. The lack of evil third person especially a woman who interferes. In the yaoi world, all women are either absent or are in favor of the relationship. Hence creating an illusion of imaginary world which is highly attractive to the reader.
    4. Finally, it's yaoi. It has the power to make the reader forget reality as they get lost whether reading about a tsundere uke or a rapist seme who eventually falls for the innocent uke.

    The yaoi world has its faults and errors, not every obsession requires an explanation sometimes we are just obsessed with things for no reason and these things might not be as attractive to everyone else.

    You guys all got a point I guess I wasn't really open minded nor read it half heartedly. Though I do get all ya'll opinion. But I'm kind of intrested in reading some none rape/sexual yaoi. My friends always recommend me sexualized gay couples and all they do all day is having intercourses. But I did like the abs part! I mean damnnnn they're HOT! ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
