Why straight girlies like reading bl?
Coming from a place of curiosity why do y'all straight girlies like to read yaoi? I'm genuinely curious . I tried reading bl and i never got why yall like it so much. Like in straight stories l can picture myself in the place of fl . I guess gay men also read bl for same reason??! So what goes in y'all head while reading bl?
Idk about the weird ones but for the most part the people who I've talked to who also read BL (both straight girls/guys and LGBTQ) said that they don't really think about anything while reading. They got into the genre mostly bc they never saw relationships like that beforehand (the difference of depth and intensity) and were hooked. I understand t...... 2 reply
Umm long story short personally I've never really pictured myself in place of FL or ML, I just like seeing unique dynamics and BL gave me just what I was looking for so I stuck around. 1 reply
Okay so, most straight women are genuinely scared/annoyed digusted by straight men, can't help it. And we just get more and more reasons as time passes by. So personally, I just don't want to picture myself with a straight guy, because for us when the guy does anything mean to the girl, its not fiction. We read it to escape the reality and, idk wha...... 3 reply
as a bi girly, no clue tbh. might be that its just two of a thing i like (men) combined that's nice. might be because its romance where i don't have to think about social roles or dynamics that relate to me; the distance preventing self-insert is actually relaxing in this case. maybe this is all my deep internalized misogyny making me feel like sto...... 2 reply
I am not a straight girl, but my educated guess is that they read BL because they find men attractive. Seeing two men in kahoots with each other is twice the fun! :3
Plus, for some girls, straight romance may not be enjoyable if they can't relate to the female protagonists, don't like seeing other girls in romantic or sexual situations, or can't h...... reply
as a pansexual girlie, here are my straight to the point reasons as to why most of my reads are bl and rarely sl: (did you get the pun? )
1. firstly, hot men making out and doing lewd stuff hot men is hot as fuck.
2. i just physically cannot vibe w the fl like i can't picture myself as her bc it honestly *hurts* to do so and ofc as a human i avoid...... reply
I've been pondering this myself actually, as a girl who likes men, I am attracted to men, and what's better than one hot man? Two hot Men. Also, many girls either feel insecure or don't like straight scenes because it feels like we aren't as pretty as drawn women, they never have pubic hair, they do not have any imperfections at all with skin or bo...... 1 reply
A maybe straight girlie here (idk yet it’s complicated :( ) Its hard for me to explain bc its like really hard for me to express my thoughts in a coherent way for others, it’ll make sense to me but not for other people.
I read bl bc i cant picture myself in place of the mcs. like dont get me wrong, i read all of the genres gl,bl and straight b...... 1 reply
If I read a straight stories, I would just end up getting jealous and end up with a question "When's my turn?". I can't get jealous over BL stories, it's not like I have a dick to provide. Both genre are cute so both are fine with me. Yaoi gives you two dicks BTW reply
