What age were you when you started reading yaoi and how long have you been on this train ride?
I'm 26 and I've been into this stuff for a good 12/13 years now. I found about it when I was a 12 year old in 2004 on a message board for a video game called "Tales of Symphonia" where some of the fans there would ship male characters together. At the time though I was somewhat shocked that people would so this, plus I disliked the concept of shipping "non-canon pairings" in general. And most disgusting of all is that people would even ship the main character with his biological father! (Ironically this now one of my biggest fetishes lol) It was about a year later though when a friend showed me "Yami no Matsuei" and "Loveless" where it finally dawned on me that two guys could make a viable couple with chemistry. Eventually it led me to seek out yaoi fanfiction and doujinshi of stuff like Final Fantasy 7 and Yu Yu Hakusho, now the rest is history.
Looking back my tastes in guys and ships have definitely evolved over the years though. They've gotten older and manlier looking generally. I eventually started to prefer bottoms who are bigger (or at least taller) or older than the top. Also incest is hot af, though I can't remember when that happened. As I've become more comfortable with my libido over the years I've gotten more sex centered and generally don't care for the stories in BL unless it's guaranteed to lead to porn or really good. Just show me my husbandos' asspussies getting put to good use and I'm fine.
I'm 18,soon 19 and I've been into yaoi for 7 years I think.I think I first started shipping anime character and then watched BL anime.After that ended I descovered BL manga and that sums up about all 7 years of my life I've been reading BL manga. reply
oh wow I'm new to this compared to you two. I first read light x L smut when I was like 11 but I didn't find out about yaoi manga until I was around 12 and now I'm another age but I don't want to say it bc I'm a teen and its bad to say your age on the internet. My tastes have also changed even in a short amount of time but I think that's a good thi...... reply
13/14 yrs. Old so about 9 1/2 or so yrs. For my current fav. Is omegaverse but so far I've been traumatized by yaoi and been soften up my yaoi. Yaoi and anything with man, teen, beast, half beast, plant, dj. Demon, angel, god, monster, half man half anything, anthropomorphism. And bara! Is good enough for me reply
About a year ago I thought that since Im really into anime might as well read some manga. I then saw this recommendation for Baker on the first floor on Instagram and started to read it thinking nothing of it until it got to the intense yaoi part. So here I am 1yr later reading not stop reply
First learned about yaoi when I was 12 and randomly started watching loveless without even knowing what it was about... After that I started looking for gay themed manga and I didn't even know the name of the genre. The first few yaoi I read I was so shoked I couldn't finish reading lol and I felt like such a perve and like I'm doing something wron...... reply
