Yaoi just HITS DIFFERENT I like that it shows that not all guys are gonna be strong all the time like they have a vulnerable side they have feelings ya know? Some yaoi (not all) show some hardships of being gay. Others show hardships of relationships and that nothing is perfect and not everything will go the way you want. And I like it when a guy c...... reply
not all yaoi is "hentai"- hentai is just porn, which is not all yaoi
(obviously yaoi hentai does exist but that's beside the point)
personally, i enjoy yuri, yaoi, and shoujo.
I'm very picky with shoujo though because it's just extremely bland most of the time and a little too slow for me. on top of that, 9 out of 10 times the mc girl is dumb as ...... reply
My thought process is basically "what's better than one hot guy? Well, two hot guys cause why not?"
But also shoujo is great but I read all the og ones as a kid and now I'm sick of it. Plot ones, they're kinda all the same shit (yaoi too) but I wouldn't really compare these two genres. There's more of a focus on sex in yaoi (some may differ) but s...... reply

I think nothing much? My first foray into yaoi was ofcourse the more popular/better titles and what I liked about those (compared to shoujo) was how both characters in the relationship actually feel like human beings. Like they have emotions and actually work on solving their issues unlike most shoujo where there's always this "perfect" but ruthles...... reply
I honestly don't know why I like it myself.
But while I agree with you that yaoi (except shonen ai) is indeed just gay porn. However, it is more than that. It is a love story. It is discovering yourself and loving someone despite society's hatred.(wait did I get weirdly weird??)
And when the sex is done right, It is not two men doing the do for th...... reply
