I'm a second gen kpop fan hehe. I used to be a hardcore SHINee fan in highschool and was also really into JYJ's/TVXQ's Jaejoong solo stuff. Oh and Brown Eyed Girls and IU (I was a huge Gae In stan damn the memories). Also BigBang especially TOP (before the shitshow lol) I was so into the scene I knew everything about every group that came out and a......   reply

I'll pretend this is sincere from some young and ignorant teen and answer sincerely. Women get for the most part socialized differently than men. The issue with straight men who are friends initially then end up confessing is usually that they have trouble seeing a woman as not sexualized or as a potential romantic interest, therefore they end up s......   reply

In general quite a lot, on this website I have catalogued 1100ish though I only started cataloguing quite late in the game (which I do regret). I've read yaoi for 13+ years and have even written a research paper about yaoi so I would argue my power level is quite high lol. Idk if I'm OP though, I definitely don't read as much as I used to either (......   reply

yeah idk i have been watching k dramas for a long time (well past 7 years a lot less though) and from reading k-webtoons I also feel this sense that a lot of stories end up being formulaic. I have a lot of opinions on this cause I recently watched Doctor Cha and ended up dropping it because of trope fatigue lol To me what bothers me the most is ho......   4 reply

can't answer about sex between male bodies but anal sex in general sure thing. So first of all, no, there is no "door to be opened" in a biological sort of way. Apart from that I guess... shit varies and is complicated. Hmmm. Maybe I shouldn't use the word "shit" like this... It varies accordingly to a person's butthole, how nervous they are (mea......   reply

I'm bi but I always wondered what makes me more into yaoi than yuri... I recently thought that the answer is that yaoi has more of a history and culture around it and yuri is sometimes too.... dramatic..? Like, the ones written by women I mean. Or maybe I just have higher standards with stories with women in them.. Shitty yaoi is in abundance but i......   1 reply

people who have no idea how sex works yet say crazy shit confidently lmao Just a personal pet peeve of mine to spice the convo up. I sometimes point out a sex scene in a BL if it's crazy unrealistic because I remember being a teen virgin and taking inspo from fuckin BL and that can be dangerous!!! I've had people really confidently mock me and ev......   1 reply

We are living in the era of the easily butthurt, which is interesting in the yaoi community because somehow it leads to people being less open minded about their shit. Yaoi (not BL or early shounen ai, just straight up yaoi) used to be fiction that only had the "good bits" of what shounen ai didn't have, and used to be stories about basically STRA......   3 reply

oof that's tricky. losing weight is actually much harder than ud think from how hostile ppl are to those who are overweight. Your body is made to maintain as much fat and muscle as possible, so if you gain weight your body kinda really wants to keep it and will try to at all costs. This is why it is commonly known that most diets don't work in th......   2 reply

I feel more sad than grossed out lol   reply

Cheating is in my opinion the result of people's twisted perception of a relationship. A relationship between two (let's say two for the sake of going with the "norm") people, as in two people going out, apart from the romantic, or sentimental sense, when looked at in the sense of a contract, is when two people agree that they like spending time wi......   1 reply

I could care less about rape in yaoi, in fact, I'm into that in real life, so sometimes it plays into my fetish, and becomes a turn on. before I say my personal opinion on the whole subject, I'd like to address the question's laughable segment of "12 year olds are reading this shit, they will think rape is ok why is this not banned like how it wou......   1 reply

i think i ended up here when manga pirating started being more on the downlow (apparently made an account in 2015 shit i feel old) and I stayed because of how much the BL (but also the GL!) fandom was really big here compared to more mainstream pages where the only stuff that ppl talked about was shounen, some seinen and maaaaybe shoujo if u were l......   reply

17. Was so naive as a teen pretty sure I didnt even get how men could have sex with each other before i was 16. I knew about yaoi before that but ofc there's the "rotten fans" stereotype so it took me a while to check em out even while I was already reading smutty shoujo and josei before that.   1 reply

polygamy is when a man is allowed (by law) to marry multiple women, but not the other way around usually. If you mean polyamory then sure. I'm all for ethical non-monogamy. Monogamy as a standard mindset is bullcrap honestly, I think people would have an easier time if they started out exploring their options from an ethical non monogamous standpo......   reply

I just wanna read something with ppl who look different and interesting and multidimentional... feels like everything is about tropes these days and the faces are all Kpop ripoff copy paste faces where we have to keep on hearing about how rich the seme is... yuck I often quit reading something if the art is too generic like that tbh. It's like w......   reply

actually there is some research about why women write romance fiction stories where men are assholes that magically change through the power of their bootyhole and become marriage material. It's because they are fashioned in the same logic as stories about men, where a man is called on a quest and faces adversity that changes him bla bla to reach h......   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
