Yaoi/shounen ai fangirls are everywhere... but I don't get why! I don't have anything against gay couples, but as for reading about it, it's not something I'm drawn to since I can't really relate (as a girl) to the relationship between a guy and a guy. And when I see boys love scenes I just don't feel anything. So can someone here please enlighten me? 🤢

Well, I find it cute. I can't really say more to that than that honestly. But I think that's the main reason why I find a liking for yaoi. I like guys, with that said... I find a liking seeing to guys together makin' some love. Mhm.

i like yaoi/shounen ai when there is a beautifull story and a verry cute charachters
recently i'm more focus in just shounen ai because most of yaoi=sex scenes .it's not that i don't love sex scenes but i'm tired of it. so shounen ai or light shounen ai that altimes i find it in" josei" are my interrest now

umm, well.... you see.... I think you can't explain it. I will make an example. some people like sport. some people like horror movies. some like comedies and the other tragedies. I'm not really that into yaoi, but I will still prefer it to hentai, yuri and shounen. you know, it's the same things as to asking "why is manga so popular". and I don't think that many girls are into it. some of them never read yaoi and won't.
But maybe it's because of slash. seriously, many girls got into yaoi because of naruto.
if there is an option between "to do" and "not to do", I will always choose the latter.
