Can there be too much yaoi?
I sometimes find myself daydreaming about mangas ive read anð they fill me with so much joy or they just feel like brain rot from the plot just being porn. In those moments i feel like maybe ive gone too far in my yaoi consumption...what do normal people think about? Is this like a porn addiction? If so, do i purge? Im so conflicted T×T
Stg some of yall treat yaoi like a terrible drug that ruins lives as if people haven't been making porn for centuries. Whatever makes you happy man, ur probably using yaoi to supplement things you don't have in your own life and that's on ESCAPISM NOT A PORNO ADDICTION FFS reply
I think a lot of people overuse the term "porn addiction", porn addiction refers to when you consume pornography to a point where you can't stop watching it and it negatively interferes with your daily life, relationships etc. if youre simply daydreaming about it and it's not negatively impacting your health or life or anyone else then it's fine. 1 reply
Isn't yaoi literally porn? So maybe u can say it is indeed porn addiction. Also don't worry i also experienced this, when i first started reading yaois it caused a huge toll in my mental health, as someone who had maladaptive daydreaming and also many many intrusive thoughts every time i space out uncomfortable stuff abt the yaois(esp the smut part...... 1 reply
not the ppl in the comments defending themselves lmaooo,, let's face it, it IS porn. dont sugarcoat it by saying "it's just a drawing!" or "as long as it doesn't ruin your life", and it's also ironic how BL isnt even made for gay relationships. Where wlw and mlm couples aren't widely accepted to society, but these genres of BL and GL r seen as feti...... 1 reply
Personally I love yaoi but I had to escape because it set unrealistic standards about love and sex. The men are too handsome and carved like statues and their dicks are unrealistically perfect along with their amazing bed skills. It just ruins your expectations irl. At some point that’s all I was thinking about all day too. But I realized it was ...... 2 reply
I personally think it’s fine. I mean, who’s to judge what makes you happy(as long as it’s not illegal). I think about yaoi all the time cause I enjoy reading it. Sure it’s porn, but that doesn’t make it bad, I personally don’t just read it for its smut, I have my standards too, and I like reading story’s for its plot. I think you’re...... reply
if you feel like you spend too much time on it then try to take a step back from it maybe? Idk if it's a matter of addiction but I think you should do what feels right for you specifically.
I tend to read more yaoi when I feel overworked or overwhelmed with life, so I get what you mean. It's def a sort of escapism brain-rot vibe that helps turn y...... reply
You can have an unhealthy amount of anything. I play an unhealthy amount of video games. I used to read yaoi as a form of conversion therapy to make me not disgusted by male you know what but it only worked if I did it every single day so I was reading an unhealthy amount of yaoi. I think you as an individual can generally pinpoint when you’ve go...... reply
I mean it depends if you're actively bating to it. If you aren't I would consider it more an obsession than an addiction if you read it as much as you say you do. If you're using it to get off then it's definitely an addiction, but if you can have it taken away from you without suffering any mental strain more then just bummed out it's more an obse...... reply
