Am I broken?..... I mean, I am ovulating and this is way better straight smut than usual. But I feel no goonery. An onlooker would think I'm reading an article on food contaminants or soemthin
It’s beautiful, but to be honest I’ve stopped feeling stimulated by smut for a while now. It’s great to read but I can’t actually gush over it like an animal, I’m envious too. When you’ve read it so long and so much, that’s what happens I guess. I read smut with a straight face, even the amazing ones like this. This is way better than 99% of joseis
I miss the days even the shittiest anatomy smuts and plots used to excite me. Ahh.
Then again there might just be something wrong with me because I can still sometimes read very rare stories where just a hand holding or ankle grab or a spicy hug will send me pacing my room like a sergeant and debriefing, so I don’t know
Yeah I had a thought about it and it might just be expectation. Chae-Woo is very horny, he’s sexy clothes on and off so I feel like him taking his clothes off didn’t make a difference in how I feel about him, if that makes sense. Even if he didn’t show his dick it felt like he already did (?). Also he already munched her out prior so this is the sequel. Much of my ‘Damn this man’ already fizzled out in the earlier chapters and now I’m very invested in how the fuck she’s going to get out of this mess.
If the sex was early for example, I might have combusted
Subtle sensual romance when you’re not thinking too deeply about it will probably throw you off more than freakatron number 1 in his natural freaky state. Also exposure haha. I bet if you stopped reading manhwa for a while you’d come back and think damn, damn. There’s another really hot straight manhwa, Man with Ghosts. When I read the first chapter I was in genuine shock, especially with the overly expressive leads. Tens of chapters in now and I’ve gotten used to it and don’t read the new updates. If I leave it for a long while the shock might return. Who knows
Yeah, I've always been a "make me expect, let me imagine" fanatic. But that's so true. I've never felt that way whenever I didn't see straight smut for a while, but if I don't read or watch yaoi for a long time. I freak tf out. I break electronics, shout, jump on my bed, call my friends on the phone to talk me down. The whole shabang. Mf can't even bump shoulders without me acting out.
In (good) yaoi, foreplay lasts long, they observe each other's expressions, and take note of likes and dislikes. They don't always like it right away, they scope each other out over sessions and the bedroom time develops at its own pace. The bedroom even develops alongside milestones in the relationship or character development. Keeping you on the edge of your seat. But straight smut, he is thirsty with a bewitching D, and she has a small coochie with nice boobies. End of story.
Yaoi draws more attractive men, does longing, and sudden lapses in emotions better (to me). We out here writing smutty essays lol
Ah well if you only react like that to Yaoi then the answer is simply that hetero stories don’t interest you. I haven’t read enough Yaois to see the differences in relationships although I can imagine it would be different since authors tend to write men and women differently - the usual josei benchmark is a female lead that is less interested in sex outwardly than the male lead. I’ve sometimes seen though that many authors still follow heteronormative dynamics by making the uke the exact same. Sensitive, clueless, sometimes a crybaby, doesn’t know much about sex. But if it’s enough that hetero stories have never excited you then of course you don’t have the same reaction as other readers here. You just like Yaoi, there’s nothing wrong with that
Not saying there isn’t a difference, there probably is something that draws you more. Two of my other favourite drawn smuts (not for the plot) could do much better if they followed Man with Ghosts in that they made the female lead a little more horny and maybe a muncher herself
I love seeing munching stories but when the female lead has little interest in giving back head e.g. or is always terrible at it, I already know all of the sex is just going to be servicing and an overwhelmed female lead who can’t handle majority of what the male lead is giving her. Which again isn’t bad, I do love servicing. But authors tend to forget to showcase female desire too (not specifically talking about this story). What does she feel when she looks at the male lead? I mean the readers genuinely want to hop on his dick and ride it like a bull (we yes we
Apparently, I wasn't as educated in straight smut as I thought Maybe I can't make the best analysis of that side. I actually don't look for smut, I just go along with it if it happens to be in my story. But, I re-read a josei recently you may like. The female lead has desires and can initiate, which is refreshing. But being as I'm a plot girly, of course there's a lot of plot to it. Don't be alarmed, I was confused at first, but it turns out the MC is a recent-sh college graduate and one of the love interests is a college student about 20 at least (I was stressed about the age gap, but even that can still be shifty)

I know majority of fujoshis prefer hetero normative yaois, but I never did, unless they are making a social commentary or compensate with other story elements. Gay communities actually have really strict social standards. For instance, in many asian countries, gays feel pressured to be androgynous, hyper feminine, or super masculine. And even use mysogyny on each other. (Sorry, I'm really into cultural/history studies) But I completely understand why hetero-normative yaois that come to your mind
Your comment probably got cut off because mangago didn't want to see me get completely decimated while getting schooled lol
No schooling trust me I was just waffling. Thanks for the recommendation. I feel like I’ve seen this before because the title is definitely familiar and yet I can’t remember the plot. Seeing it has 100+ chapters to binge ;) . Not to worry I love plot too. I prefer plot with splashed in smut, not smut with splashed in plot
I was gonna add earlier that I didn’t get to anyway, that in yaoi (when it’s not being heteronormative I’m guessing and falling for the same traps joseis do) probably has really expressive leads and more dynamic smut that doesn’t feel too tropey. The author is probably more likely to treat both leads fairly since they’re both the same gender. Or maybe there are patterns that you can clock after reading everything on this app. It may be the same for Yuri. I’d hope at least the characters are less stuck in the box since they’re queer
Most joseis = masculine man feminine woman and rare femdom whose list is still too small. At least from what I’ve read. I’ve read a lot. Theres probably more variety with yaoi since you get to see men in every trope. I see the variety in the covers, I think authors explore their kinks a lot more too, that’s for sure. What’s that milk farm one? Huge tits for a man. I’ve been tempted to read it just for that
And the expressiveness too, that’s something I definitely wish was more included (thank you Chae-Woo for being expressive). Im constantly complaining about josei smut and the stone faced male lead who’s chilling. Lip biting and brows furrowing because it’s too much for them too?
Nope. The female lead is carrying all the reactions. Majority of the smuts if you don’t filter through is them teasing the female lead with the same lines ‘I thought you were bold’ ‘Didn’t you want this’ ‘I wont be able to stop once I start’ ’You’re soaking wet already’ ‘Your body clearly wants this’ (fucking ick that one). Then predictably they wake up in the morning describing his apparent beast of a dick that wore out their whole body and they can’t walk whilst he’s glowing like a stick, refreshed and smug. Okay I’m guilty, this reminds me of my fanfiction days, I don’t hate it if done right and not too often but it grates my gears in more ways than one because it’s mostly done WRONG and too much. And now I don’t want to see it at all, get off my screen. Bonus points if the female goes No stop slow down no more! Stop being conservative in my smut, is this why half of them stopped drawing nipples? Excuse my ramble
As much as I love this story and its female lead (she’s adorable) unfortunately author fits the box nice and snug. Virginity bordering on a lack of sex education, check. Utterly clueless about intimacy, check. Lack of desire except in rarer moments, check. I do think this balances out with Chae-Woo though and the plot, so I have to stop gritting my teeth and swallow the pill of acceptance. Round of applause, I will continue to raise my bar
No other josei deserves the exception, not in the big 2026. Less innocence and more seduction please. Don’t stop the seduction the moment shit hits the fan either
I like that you caught onto the fact there's a sense of equality in certain gay literature that we just can't get in josei and shoujo. I've read a lot of yuris over at least a decade, and i can honestly say that many claim yuri supremacy and that yuri is way deeper than yaoi. But unfortunately, it's hard for me to find yuris that are not over the top thirsty, traumatic, or toxic. So I enjoy shoujo ai the best. Believe me, yuri has touched across a lot of genres, but I can't say I've found a diversification in relationship and bedroom dynamics like I have in yaoi.
I wish femdom, hypersexual, and innocent female leads weren't the only thing I recall. I've been saying it for years, smut girlies deserve better. And it's even crazier because it feels like men writing women, when in fact it's women writing cookie cutout women Then men read those books as research to entice women to their stories and continue the feedback loop
I'm too ghetto for this mess. I'd literally say "Shut tf up. Since you like kissin daddy's ass so much, you may as well eat MY WHOLE ASS too you crusty pale ass mf clown. You obviously have room since last I saw, yo daddy was CAKED UP." Then proceed to get my butt whooped, and sent to the ER too. I literally got jumped by a whole group because they were bullying me at school during recess and and I ran all they names through the mud











Remember 10 years ago, when baldy said he was going out to buy milk? Well he actually came back
