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? dead

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.
