i'm a guy and i've been reading yaoi since...sometime in middle school? i think maybe 1st year, and i'm out of school now so about 8 or 9 years? lmao started reading when i thought i was straight and i really liked yaoi at that time, and then eventually realized i wasn't so straight and also started disliking a lot of yaoi bc how they portray male ...... 2 reply
