Toraseishin's answer page 1 (24)

Hello, OP. I've read your question and most of the comments here. I'd like to tell you a little bit of my story. I'm 26 now, and I came out as gay 12 years ago when I was in middle school (before a lot of things changed including marriage equality in the US). Ever since I was a child, I would always fall in love with male characters I saw on TV. ......   4 reply

Why do you feel small and inferior? Trust your emotions and your intuition. If you feel it's different - then it's different. There is clearly something to explore here, regardless of the outcome. So if you feel like your entire being is drawing you towards this person, then honor that and reach out to him. Always make decisions from a place of emp......   reply

Koori No Mamono No Monogatari. I felt very real and intense emotions reading this one. I cried both during the sad times and the happy times. http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/koori_no_mamono_no_monogatari/   1 reply

I'm gay, and I read Yaoi not only because I enjoy it, but also because it's one of the few genres that showcase gay romance and sex. Representation is important. But to answer your question - no. Reading yaoi as a guy does not mean you are gay. In fact, it makes me really happy to hear that you read about and appreciate gay romance even though it......   1 reply

Hmmm this is a difficult one since there are a lot of different traits I find attractive. But based on my tendencies and fantasies, I'll list a few: (from a gay male's perspective) -Taller than me (I'm 5'5'' - not that difficult lol) -Dark hair (really long or short. I find both looks attractive) -Muscular build/healthy (I place a major value on h......   reply

I'm a gay guy and have always had the natural urge to take it up the ass rather than be the dominant role lol I find it quite fascinating. So yea, I'm absolutely an uke. A bad-ass uke to be exact ;) But I'm sure I'd be willing to switch roles on a rare occasion depending on the dynamic I have with whoever I end up bonding with (on a physical and s......   3 reply

Hellllll no. I love my hair. I feel so naked whenever I get a short cut (I'm a guy), but these days I try to keep my hair a bit on the longer side. I had VERY long hair in my previous life, and I think sometimes I still have trouble coming to terms with the fact that long hair doesn't suit me in this life *sigh* lol   1 reply

Welcome to the dark side! We have cookies...and also dicks ;D LOL I am also 23, gay, from New York, dancer/singer, into K-pop, MMO-gaming, nature, spiritual philosophy, etc. I am a well-seasoned fudanshi of over 10 years~ ....and now I feel like a cranky old, hard-to-impress yaoi critic xD   4 reply

While it seems most people here would be fujoshis turning into gay men, I would be a gay man turning into a straight woman. What would I do? First I would go through all the stages of grief, and then I would dedicate my life to becoming a super bad-ass seductress lol I always admire strong and sexy women, so might as well become one!   2 reply

Bad-ass uke!! SOOOOO spot on. Like damn xD Now THAT was a well-done quiz~ (I'll post the description here) "You are a Badass Uke! Other uke admire you, some seme fear you. Despite your sometimes flaming appearance, you can even fool other people into thinking you are seme with your mischievous, manipulative attitude, but when push comes to shov......   1 reply

I have mixed feeling about rape in Yaoi. What I call "light rape" is such a common thing in Yaoi manga that I've become a little numb to it. Basically it's those "rape" scenes where usually the seme is advancing on the uke without the uke's consent.....but at the same time the uke is barely resisting and is just saying "stop" and "no" while having ......   1 reply

(Before reading, know that I am a fudanshi and yaoi is a huge part of my life) Just to name a few..... 1) Ugly art 2) When the uke looks like a child with massive eyes (UGH) 3) Pointless drama. It bothers me when authors have the characters make really ridiculous decisions that make absolutely no sense just for the sake of drama. It doesn't he......   5 reply

Because I develop very strong emotional connections with people, I absolutely hope to get married one day. It's that special sealing bond both legally and spiritually. To me, it shows to ourselves and others we've made the strong commitment to stay with each other for the rest of our lives and that together we are one. This is just how I personal......   reply

There are too many. This is impossible to answer xD But my yaoi wish is for my future love life to be just as romantic and sexy as a yaoi manga hehe   1 reply

I'm gay. 100% gay. While I have felt very emotionally close to females in the past, I have never been physically attracted to females. Even as a child I would fantasize about romantic relationships with other males. I do, however, appreciate the beauty of the female figure and many of my greatest role models are female. Physically and romanticall......   6 reply
