Well I can't tell you about any guys, but I like Yaoi
Don't most female readers do?^^
But that's a known fact..
I used to assume all women would like yaoi too but later I know a number of female readers who dislike it. Oddly enough, a few of them actually read yuri.

I read a yaoi once... it took me a while to realize that it was 2 guys instead of a guy and a girl. Very disturbing and now I stay away from it.
lol same happened to me...way to often
i always assumed all anime girls in deep enough were into yaoi, mainly b/c i havent come across one who isn't yet... but i guess just my bad luck

I do it with my friend.
Well, who am I to criticize, you sure your not gay? Do you walk around town holding hands?
no...that arouses suspicions....only when no one is around.

What's with the discussion about areas6's sexual preferences?...
@Chibidoro-sama and @areas'6 please stop talking about it~.~
Although it's fun to read( 🤣 ) , it's of topic...
Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.
I don't have anything against Yaoi. 😀 At first, at least... ._.
But the Yaoi fangirls make me stay away from it. 🤣
It irritates me when they obsess about Yaoi~ >.<
To me, they're on the same level as Ecchi perverts, like xombie! 😛
Hey~, you admitted it yourself, xomb. 😀

seriously guys, holding hands with a guy doesn't make someone gay, being attracted to men makes someone gay. there's just a big social stigma on guys holding hands and not girls. (look into it, sociology-gender is actually pretty interesting)
but thanks to this thread, i got bored and dl'ed some naruto shounenai. atleast it was funny

Well, those fan girls can't harm you from your computer 🤣
Every person that is obsessed is irritating (if you mean "otaku like" obsessed).. But not every fan is obsessed^^
I really like yaoi/shounen'ai- never heart anyone by that^^ (except maybe prejudice people?.)

Well, of cource not every guy that holds hands with onother guy is gay..
It is, like you said, a social stigma.. What can you do about some poeples'
thoughts (or fantasies for that matter) 🤣

for the first time I saw the description of yaoi genre I was like 'eeew! how come girls like that?!'. and even now I can't explain why. though girls are more open minded...
I see guys stay away from yaoi just because they don't accept fags. in movies when male friends slept together (just slept) it's funny to see them VERY scared in the morning, while girls sleeping together in one bed is quite common.
I do search for yaoi manga but for now gays in real life for me is a big no-no-no. even in movies, even anime.
yaoi is more like some fiction, you gotta chill out, guys 😉

Well, consider that yaoi is written and drawn toward what females like to see:
A.) bishounen guys in budding romance situations. These are shounen-ai or softcore yaoi, but they're just like shoujo, only with 2 boys. Or,
B.) penetration and toys (hardcore yaoi). This takes the voyeurs into account, among other things.
Yuri and hentai is written and drawn more toward what men would like to see, which is why it generally doesn't thrill me and it thrills most men to pieces. To each his own. Go with what you like. (I have found some hentai that I like that's drawn a bit softer though.)
If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.
From a bumper sticker I like:
"If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair."

Because Guys that read Yaoi "and like it" are not "Guys" 🤣
I downloaded Kamen Teacher thinking it was the comedy manga made by our beloved FUJISAWA Tohru, but after 2 pages it was QUITE CLEAR, I DIDN'T WANT TO READ THAT (I didn't see anything, but I didn't like the way it was going)
