I must be abnormal then when I don't
get anything out of yuri. D:

From what you've said in other posts, you have very specific tastes.

I don't see anything strange about girls liking yaoi, but I do find the sheer volume of yaoi to be quite intimidating. You don't see very much yuri at all by comparison, though I think some of it is indoctrinated into the hentai section quietly.

Yes... I say moar yuri

Welcome to the manga community.

You win teh intarwebz.

Seriously, this is like asking what is up with catgirl fetishes...

Well, it's not that I don't get that preferences are different. If the genre exists it has its fans (market said a word). What surprising is how much of such manga got to the top of the list. Why hentai lovers are not so active, it would be so much fun to read comments on hentai 🙂

LMAO! People only read Yaoi because girls like to see two people kissing and its stupid because it proves that people only like to see them kissing otherwise it wouldn't be a category it would only be another part of a story. 😀

I'm Yaoi fan but what can I say its the damn truth! XD!

Kissing is shounen-ai. A girl reads yaoi for the hot smex! 😀

You're such a prude.

Seriously, use the search function, enter yaoi, and the answer will become apparent.

Well I'll try explaining this as well as I can, both from a gender-neutral, a girl's and a casual yaoi's reader point of view.

WARNING: HUGE GENERALISATION AHEAD

Girls, like guys have hormones.
Girls don't watch/like porn. coughmostofthemcough
Girls need to take out the hormones, so girls prefer yaoi for that.
Yaoi>>>Hentai/Yuri/whatever because girls sometimes get jealous on the big-boobed female in het relations, so they prefer for her to be replaced by yet another piece of sexiness, aka the uke (I guess this is the most important point)
Oh and girls actually prefer clean sex (..most of them..) and if you read some yaoi (again depends on the title) you'll see they never get terribly fetishist like hentai for example.
And another thing to the apparent abundance of yaoi: it's about as much as other titles, just that most of them are PWP one-shots, so that's why they appear to overflow all around. Because one "series" of yaoi (a oneshot)=one chapter of one long-running shounen-jump series. So take One Piece with around 400 chapters=400 series of yaoi.

And although I hate yuri, I have to it it's pretty weird that there's so little of it. But the answer is simple: for guys there's -insertpornmagname- and asides manga, I'm disappointed in how few alternatives there are specifically made for girls.

</End major generalization>

You'd call any reader that reads hentai/yuri a pervert?^^
Don't try lying, I know you DO read that stuff. evil gigle

@HeavennevaeH
er.. What can I say.. It's not like that for me.. I don't "get jealous on the big boobed female" .
I just find shounen-ai/yaoi really hot^^
I'm not into hentai, read some, but still prefer BL..

(when I reffer to yuri, guys like real lesbian porn as well, no?^^)
I can only say, that yaoi for girls is what yuri for guys- I mean, I don't really know what guys might find so special in two girls kissing/doing it, is like guys don't understand what female readers find in two boys kissing/doing it.
*Maybe the fact that people still find homosexuality sinfull makes it like a guilty pleasure? (And don't we just love our guilty pleasures?^~)

I'm not going to lie about how I feel conserning yaoi (some my critic me.. ) so I won't say.. But it's obvious^^

Yeah, and there are many one-shots, so.. yeah.. overflowing.. 🤣 🤢

People like porn. Girls/bi/gayguys like gay porn. Girl/bi/gayguy otakus like gay manga. Gay manga=yaoi. Simple.

shrugs... I don't get it either. My friend is hooked, but I don't really have a taste for it.

it's just another sub section of romance. it sometimes doesn't matter that they're guys, since yaoi fans are both female and male. what matters is the mood, or the quality of the butt slamming.

Yaoi is good if it's hot and nice. 😀 But I don't mind yuri and hentai too!

Btw,when comparing hentai and yaoi, sometimes, there's barely any difference between the behaviour of either gender, apart from the genitals(errr I meant body parts). 😛

people like to be aroused by pictures! I know I do! And girls/gayguys/bipeople (as mentioned above) like to be aroused by dick on dick! It's not a stretch to see girls/gayguys/biotaku be aroused by drawn dick on dick. (note we are talkin about yaoi and not shonen ai so 😛 )

yaoi is really good and the storyline is very entertaining.
