1. I like the relationships the most. They are slightly different from what one gets in Het-romance. Also, because I like men. Two cute men are better than one. 2. I relate more to the male characters. Women in the romance manga I've read are, usually, very feminine, even when they are not supposed to be. I also like the sex scenes. Not because it'......   reply

Why did I marry this man in the first place?   reply

I hate that I can't make friends that well. I try, but I miss a lot of social cues, so people see me as inconsiderate/ weird/ irritating. I hate my generally poor self esteem and how 'gloomy' I am. My teacher said to me in front of a bunch of people that's why no one likes me. In reality she just exacerbated my depression.   5 reply

Certain genres, too me, are disgusting. I do not read shota/lolicon and I change how I read incest stories to make them bearable (brothers to step-brothers and cousins to family friends). What other people like is their business. The words normalize and romanticize, in truth, are based on perspective. It is not like the readers are impressionable......   reply

No, 2 is completely normal.   reply

I generally prefer to be be left alone, but sometimes I want a little bit of human interaction. However, it is more difficult these days.   reply

When I accidentally clicked 'random,' I was sent to furry shotacon that included either rape, incest, or both.   reply

Agree, in the wrong hands, yaoi can cause harm. But, young people are going to find it no matter what we do. And, of course, some kids are going to take what they see too the extreme. Yaoi is aiming for a mature audience that is mature enough to know better than to see every gay relationship the way they are depicted here. Most people I've seen, gr......   reply

True love is real, but it's not what you think it is. It is more than just a feeling. Love takes time and work. If you hang onto the feeling alone and don't put in the effort the relationship is pretty much doomed. This is an observation of mine.   reply

Yes, I have accepted the fact that I will die and could die at anytime, but I'm concerned about how I'll die and the "next chapter." It makes no sense that there isn't one to me, but I don't know.   reply

Are you saying you'd be understanding if a guy cheats on you because he's closeted gay and will let him go with no hard feelings, or are you saying you're fine with a guy cheating as long as it is with another man? Either way, people see and deal with cheating differently. For me, his ass had better end the relationship if he even thinks about che......   1 reply

Did you mean they don't care? If so, how the times have changed. Or, possibly, the kids I grew up with were just secretive as hell, idk.   1 reply

How could something that makes you content, even if it is just temporary, truly be useless? Of course, you cannot live your entire life buried deep in fiction, but fiction itself is not useless.   1 reply

5. I really love it and it is one of my favorites. I'm really stingy with this rating. 4. I really like it 3. I like it/ it's okay 2 or 1. Usually I don't bother to rate it unless it is especially terrible. Only used like once. I don't rate often, but when I do, I base my ratings mostly on the story. However, unattractive art can be really distrac......   reply

Depends. If bugs, slugs, and snails are eating my plants, then yes. For garden destroying mammals, I'll try to take preventative measures. The same goes for livestock eating mammals, but when it comes to livestock if defense doesn't work...   reply

I was very little, like 11 months old, I turned around and saw myself in a mirror. Or struggling to tie my shoes when a was 4.   reply

Why should I fuss with people that I don't know and probably never will know? I came here for one thing. A distraction from my misery. Not politics, not childish dissing, just a distraction.   reply

That I've realized just how predictable humans are as a whole. No one is as special as they think they are, me included. This may sound edgy, but I find it to be true. On a happier note, I'm proud that I haven't used any recreational drugs, other than alcohol. Not to escape and not because of imo foolish curiosity/pleasure seeking. Even with alcoh......   2 reply

The reason I read BL in the first place is because I relate to the male characters more. I don't need her! It's one thing if she is genuinely supportive, but, usually, she is just a distraction.   reply

I think I understand the question? If you gender identity is a man and you are sexually attracted to other men, most would call that a gay relationship. However, some people do define sexuality as the sex one is attracted to and some say it includes both sex and gender. So, I suppose in depends on your definition of sexuality. By the way, seme an......   reply
