    Why do straight guys like lesbian porn? There are 2 people in it they're attracted to instead of 1 I guess. It's just the same.
     
  2. I freaking love Yuri, and no I don't like the Hentai stuff (just thought I'd clarify because of the argument of what the term refers to).

    I love yaoi myself (sig's are yaoi quotes), though I'm not into the feminisation of guys, or the PWP ones, and I think I'd like yuri more if it were less guy-orientated. That saying, I do like shoujo-ai (less hentai), and I read shounen-ai when I'm out of yaoi. I've read bara, and like the less PWP ones.

    I'm also actually surprised at how many straight girls (lol, normally about age 13) comment on sites such as youtube etc "I love yaoi but I'm a straight girl!". Yaoi is aimed primarily at girls XD

    I enjoy both. But prefer shoujo-ai & shounen-ai (I'm assuming this is what you meant when you mentioned yuri/yaoi).

    Some favorites:
    Manga: Kashimashi, Kisses Signs and Cherry Blossom Pink, Girlfriends, Strawberry Panic

    Anime: Sweet Blue Flowers, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Sailor Moon, Junjo Romantica, Sasameki Koto, Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi

    I rather like yaoi and yuri, but it depends on the one I'm reading whether I end up continuing to read it or not. There are some really cheesy ones out there, but even the cheesy ones can be entertaining and cute. I tend to prefer yuri over all, though. Because...More cute girls to stare at. Buuut, yaoi has some pretty neat moments too.

    I don't read them often, any type of manga but the last book I read was yuri.

    I used to be really into Yaoi. But it doesn't really excite me anymore.

    I've read both. More so Yaoi, because I love the fluffiness of it. I haven't found really any Yuri that stands out for me.

    I don't really like either too much because I'm not a huge anime fan. Yaoi can be okay, but it depends on the story. I'm put off by a lot of it because of the typical seme/uke roles and the rape culture (Although I'm aware It's the same for hentai as well).

    A lot of yuri just doesn't attract me, half the time they over exaggerate the boobs too. I prefer making "Yaoi/Yuri" of my own characters.
