Hmm, I had that same experience a couple years ago. For me I was just caught up in my own problems to even bother with yaoi. Didn't have the time or interest for it especially since they all seemed like the same plot to me. But here I am now back at it again. I also thought I outgrew it's appeal but all it took was one bored night and a beautifully...... reply
Tastes always changed. As for me I once thought I was bored with yaoi but turns out I wasn't. Instead I get bored of it for a while and I go days without reading anything then I come back and start binge reading. Also my tastes have shifted towards shounen ai webtoons. reply
Nope. I can never outgrow yaoi. It's one of the things that give my life a meaning, something to look forward to since I'm depressed and don't have many friends. Also it's so fucking cute, like how can one just stop reading it just like that?? reply
Eh, romantic manga/comics isn't for everyone. As a guy that likes guys, I doubt I'll get tired of yaoi (bc its often really cute and I enjoy seeing boys being affectionate ofc). But then again, I'm old enough that I would've probably outgrown it already if I didn't like it. reply
Honestly i thought I outgrew it too. But I found some good manga/manhwa/manhua's, and I'm hooked on the stories. There's a lot of trash stories and your tastes mature over time so trying to reread things you used to like seems like a waste of time. There's good yaoi manga with that golden plot it just depends there's more trash than gold that's for...... reply
I used to read so much yaoi everyday, obsessively. But these days I find myself rolling my eyes and rushing through the chapters to finish them quickly, or I'll just stop reading. Recently I tried rereading one of my favorite shounen ai manga and I wish I hadn't. I think it has largely to do with exposure to a lot of other literature. Man, and I thought I was going to be reading yaoi all my life.
One.
Where do you guys buy yaoi mangas? Please share. I live in the US but can't seem to find any (aside from the *really* popular ones, but i want diversity!). Any websites to reccomend? 5 reply
I was 12 and my first yaoi was Viewfinder. I never read/watched yaoi or shounen ai before that so I didn't know what to expect. By god. The first chapter shocked me so much that I immediately closed the tab so that no one around me saw what I stumbled on to. I have been hooked since then and I am 22 now. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ (≧�...... 2 reply
My sister knows and most all of my friends are aware. Honestly it’s a bit embarrassing how much I love BL but I’m not really ashamed if someone finds out I’m a fan as long as it’s not my parents and they don’t actually see what I’m reading lol. (￣∇￣") reply
Anime: ......Beyblade.....I don't even know why I still gave anime another chance after that XD
Manga: I have no flippin clue cuz I read way to many so I forgot 1 reply
21 years old greek female (new here). I love reading yaoi!! I discovered it when I watched "free! iwatobi swim club" the anime and after searching I got here. Also the fact that I draw got me even more into it as I saw it as a way to practice my art skills. Ever since I very much enjoy reading yaoi. reply
I’m a Russian female living in Kazakhstan. I’ve been reading yaoi since middle school. Ever since then yaoi has become a huge part of my life. Now I’m 18 and I’m pretty much keen on reading more of it ;) reply
I dont remember what my first detailed yaoi was but im pretty sure i did that thing where i get 2nd hand emberrassment (usually i do this when i cringe too) but i close my laptop and have a heart to heart talk with myself ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ But now that my whole life surrounds around yaoi i just go "oh, so this got sum gud shit" (〜￣△￣)〜 reply
'Things' are your daily life experiences by which you get to know the world around you. Tell others about the things you did, may it be cool, sad, crazy or funny. You can also find things that you might want to do and a friend to do it with!
