I think it depends on what kind of yaoi it is. If it’s smut then they usually have an 18+ rating (but let’s be honest, no one follows the ratings) so there is one answer. When it comes to yaoi that is just romance and no sexual activities (censored or not) then i think it’s the same as those shoujo mangas which are pretty innocent so i presum...... 1 reply
I would never encourage anyone below legal age read xxx yaoi. But they wouldn't tell anyone anyway if they wanted to find it. I read some at maybe 11? And it was difficult to get my head round it for a while, i think i was a bit too young. ofc i regret nothing though!
And then there's no cap i don't think! reply
In my case, I was around 10 when I watched Koisuru Boukun. I was so confused at the time why the uke didn't have boobs because I thought I was watching a hentai anime. At that time, I didn't know how gay sex worked. I was so confused. I didn't know why the seme was teasing the other guy's nipple. I didn't even realize that it was a nipple lmao I th...... reply
I think there is no such thing as "too old to read yaoi" the same way adult content says "+18" and not "18-30". Once you're mature enough for explicit yaoi, you never go back.
For the youngest age, I'd say it depends on the type of yaoi but generally, I'd say around 15-16 is okay but kids these days start watching porn at the age of 10 so ....

Young psychic is less defensive and more fragile. Yaoi is often about many complex, mature problems and of course, a lot includes hard sex. I stepped into it when I was around 16 and I soon had my first sexual experiences (but not sex yet). It made me understand things a lot more. When I read that there are 11 years old kids here I'm terrified. It'...... reply
like many others I don't think theres a too old, maybe the too young could be 15 and below. Since they are in an age where they are looking for their identity and so, they revolve their whole personality around yaoi and gay porn, and the internet validating it by saying they are fujoshis, a tag which could not bring good news to anyone's CV reply
Honestly I discovered yaoi when I was thirteen by reading Killing Stalking and Blood Bank, anyways terrible introduction to the genre lmao (kidnapping and BDSM), but I wasn’t particularly affected by the questionable content and mature themes in that but it really depends on the person
It’s not as if the potentially twisted nature of those fict...... reply
There's not a specific number for that. And not all yaois are for all ages either. Some have dark plots, others are just too cute. It all depends on a person mental development. I've been reading erotic books since I was 13. My younger sister is turning 20 and still blushes when people kiss on TV. Same parents, same house, but she got sheltered fro...... reply
I do think there is such a thing as being too young to read yaoi. I mean, it's porn. And porn is inappropriate for young adolescents, yes, but it's also super unrealistic and misinformative and can give you some pretty messed up ideas about intimacy depending on what you're reading/watching. So I think if you're young enough that you haven't had se...... reply
Yaoi is for adults. So not an adult is too young in my opinion. 16 or 17 sure whatever. I couldn't hold conversations with them but go for it and enjoy it with your friends. I understand people get exposed to stuff especially with all the things you can look up online, doesn't mean it's good. reply
