If so, how did they find out, how do they react to it, and how did you break it to them (presuming the discovery wasn't accidental)?

If you haven't told them, are you thinking of doing so? Does it feel weird keeping it a secret, or do you genuinely think that it isn't anyone else's business but yours?

Just curious! 😀 Thanks.

Edit: Lol I should probably talk about myself too. My past S.O. knew about it, but she was a girl (we were a lesbian couple), so the whole fond-of-the-gay thing didn't really have an effect one way or another. But my current partner is a guy, and he does know a little bit ('cause I keep squealing in delight when two hot guys in a TV show come onscreen together lol), but he doesn't know the exact extent of it. Like the stuff I do online, the sites I visit, etc. I feel kinda guilty about it, and I want to tell him, but I'd like advice about how to do it without driving him to the hills. 😔 Lol. 😛 The encouraging thing is that he really cares about me and is accepting of my other idiosyncrasies (like manga addiction lol), so he'll probably be okay with this. Probably. But I just want to get some advice first...

I am not that into yaoi to begin with. He's not an anime/manga fan and doesn't care what I read. As long as you are not obsessed with some weird hentai, I wouldn't have a problem if I were the S.O.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but what does you liking yaoi/yuri have to do with him? If you tell him, are you expecting a reaction?

It might just be my tollerant/uncaring additude, but if I had a girlfriend and she sat me down in a serious way like she was about to tell me she was pregnant, and told me she was into yaoi/yuri.. I'd stare at her blankly and in a confused manner say "so?".

I think you're just making a mountain out of a mole hill or something.

People generally only care about things that effect them directly or they can sympathize with. So, I'm sure it'd be fine as long as you're not going to apply your liking of Yaoi to him. Cause as a straight guy, even though I read yaoi, I'd have a problem if my Girlfriend wanted some real life yaoi involving me you know?

Feed your head.

He knows. He doesn't care.

He's not into animu/manga. He thinks it's childish, but puts up with my hobbies. We're cool.

I was married to him already at the point that I got into yaoi.
I decided to tell him because we don't hide anything from each other, and he was going to see it on my screen eventually anyway.
He doesn't care. He'll actually read it over my shoulder on rare occasions.

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:

Pretty much the same.

All of you were so encouraging! You're right, I've just been making a big deal out of nothing. Especially given how sweet and tolerant he is in general, I'm just being silly, aren't I? 🙂

Thank you SO MUCH! You were all very nice and supportive in this thread. <3 I'm going to happily tell him now, or more like I'll just work it into a normal conversation without making a big deal out of it (lest he think that I'm pregnant lol! Good point darknova42!). 🤣

actually noone knows that I like yuri, i prefer not telling anybody

Well, do you guys have this feeling? When you like something too much, you don't want to share with others, even just the info about it, the knowing about it. Possessive love, maybe! 😀

I did tell some people that I love Yaoi. They dont really understand about Yaoi but at least they know it's boys love. I never show them the books I read. I dont want them to know too detailed about it! I wanna keep that for my own.

I haven't had that special someone yet. But I'm really looking for someone who is at least sympathetic with homosexuality. I hope he will accept the fact that I love Yaoi. And like others, he doesn't need to know too detailed about Yaoi. Just accept the fact and don't be surprised or disgusted or whatever.

(Oh, I just read the thread and realized that my post may be a little bit off the topic 😀 Sorry if you guys are bothered)

I haven't been able to get over the hurdle of telling people that I read manga or watch anime (other than Miyazaki films, which are oh-so-artsy), so the rest of you are leaps ahead. 😮 feels cowardly 😐

So far, the ones who have known haven't cared either way (one laughed at me for it, but not in an offending way).

You need to be pretty liberal to go out with me, so I think other issues would come long before something like yaoi.

lol, I can only see 2 possible groups of people who would react negatively: People who discriminate against homosexuals, and girlfriends who've just been told that their boyfriend reads yaoi.
🤣

Feed your head.
