My friend TEM is extremely straight but he can't get enough of Yaoi. He loves the sex and love chemistry. Its like Taboo for him so its interesting. Me personally can't get into it. But i'm up for some Yuri and Hentai! =D

Personally I think it's wonderful if a straight guy feels comfortable watching yaoi. It's similar to guys being comfortable watching Brokeback Mountain, which is an excellent movie if you give it a chance! I bet my boyfriend would watch yaoi with me if I asked him...good idea

I've been reading the Animenation forums for years now... and WHY is there always various versions of this thread.

Some guys (gay & straight guys) read/watch yaoi. FACT.

Can we all move on now?

I'm into yaoi, but I am as straight as a ruler. So, yeah. Also I am a guy myself, but I love the style of artwork.

Brokeback Mountain was alright, but I wouldn't call it excellent by any stretch.

People said it was a very progressive movie about gay rights, but gay rights had nothing to do with it. In fact, the movie was pretty insulting to homosexuals because as soon as Jake Gyllenhall had sex with Heath Ledger, they were "In Love". Geez, what kind of message does that send about homosexuality? "Have sex with a complete stranger of the same sex and you two will be soul mates, because homosexuals introduce themselves to each other by having sex with one another."

Of course, this post has nothing to do with the thread, but I had to get that off my chest.

You know sexuality is always such a tricky thing...
I believe that people should be happy as who they are and what they do!
It took me several years to figure out how horrible I have become...being more like what society wanted to shape me into...
My point is that Sexuality should have no boundaries...whether you love someone of the same sex or different, it should be the same love
Yaoi shows us how important it is to treasure love at any age and with anyone you choose..
Don`t get me wrong I started watching yaoi because I was curious, and later found out that it is much like the romance mangas I read with `straight love`... Basically Yaoi somehow educated me..
I also noticed that the Japanese culture is in fact more accepting of homosexuality...

*remember being in love is not about the process (intercourse), it is about showing your love for `another human being`

I decided to not categorize myself in sexuality.....I am just simply me
p.s. thnx for listening to my rant!!!

Totally AGREED!!! I was actually surprised how some people are being more accepting of the gay community. A guy in my english class last year actually did a how project and essay about homosexuality and masculinity. I was not 100% about his sexuality, but the class of 50 students seemed to accept the strifes of the gay community (well the majority of the class did).
But to your point.... It is true how being gay is only portrayed as being sexually active with the same sex...and falling in love because of that...
We as the future generation must understand that the media is putting out sterotypes and lies about many things, such as homoxseuality...
I am glad you pointed that out about Brokeback Mountain!
p.s. I have never watched the movie Brokeback Mountain because of how the portrayal of a difficult life one will have being homosexual!!! such a disappointment ...so read or watch your YAOIS because most are very well thought out!!

i am a guy, straight as a ruler, and i tend to stray from yaoi. i will every now and then read something close to it like loveless or legal drug, but nothing serious, sorry. i will also every now and then read shojo, but not very often because i usually hate the artwork with some exceptions like fruits basket. loving yuri, ecchi, and harem!
