I will say this staight out. I love yaoi(BL) mangas and animes. I watch them all the time. I don't go "ewww" seeing two guys or girls kiss. But I don't want to see the real the thing(sex) in reality, i'm I crazy? or is it the fanasty value that I like, because I like and watch Shoujo too.

Maybe it's because real gay men aren't the same body type, or aren't as good looking? Or that generally yaoi attaches some scenario to the act, rather than just being about the act itself, like gay porn would be?

Its prolly more of the fact that you know the backstory in yaoi/shounen-ai, and with gay porn its just straight to it
As a matter of fact, most people i know that like Yaoi and such, don't like gay porn or the like.

True, true, where's the fun if it's real-life? (Unless we're talking about straight porn, but I'm disgressing.)
In yaoi the guys can be as pretty as you want, and physics (for the hair and whatnot), anatomy (for the pretty face and ahem), and availability, because yaoi is everywhere while gay porn is more rare and specifically aimed at males, unlike yaoi.
It's just the prettiness factor after all. Finding actors as good-looking as bishies in yaoi is difficult (but comparing a drawing on paper to a real-life male is useless so...you got the idea
). And plus those actors leave the impression that they're not really gay and are struggling to do it just for the money, and that makes me a bit uncomfortable.

I think they do it cause they like it and they want to use their youth and appearance as an advantage while they are young.

well i dont watch porn (and gay porn), but ive seen lots of gay couples kissing and making out and i was okay with it (didnt disgust me or anything).
And that was before i began reading yaoi (btw im huge yaoi fangirl!!!).

it's defiantly just not you!
i feel the same way.
In the mangas, the guys are always just so perfect looking, and that is very uncommon in real "gay porn", and, in the mangas, you get the whole love effect to, getting to read the whole story, so I think that makes a lot of difference.
It's pretty great when i see cute guys just kiss IRL though

For me it's just that when I'm reading a story, I can pretend the characters are "real" and think "aww, what a nice relationship." In real life, it's the same thing, so when I see my gay friends smooch or making out I'm happy for them.
No matter how good or "realistic" the acting is, (and this applies to all coupling; gay, straight, aliens, whatever, etc.) seeing physical affection on the screen always feels artificial to me and I get very put off. A little smooch and implied physicality is fine, but yeah, on screen activity is annoying.
