    You have a perverted sense of humor if you think of the word “pervert” as a joke. -_-

    Let me put it this way. The reason some men enjoy lesbian porn is because it removes the man from the sex, and they won't have to look at a man's genitals, etc. Similarly for some women, yaoi is just female-friendly porn for several reasons: the guys are usually attractive, you get double the guys, you remove the woman from the scene. Removing the woman from the sex scenes is a relief to me personally, because it removes the party I empathize closely with. Like if I see a straight porn where the woman is raped, I feel bad for her and can't enjoy the porn. Lots of straight porn is kinda degrading to women. I'm more for vanilla stuff. But if you remove the woman, I can watch a lot more stuff, cause I simply don't associate myself with any of the characters. Don't know if you get me.

    And shonen ai is just a romance where you remove the female factor. I started reading that cause I got bored with the tropes in shoujo manga...

    Anyway, I'm actually asexual. Sex to me is more about aesthetics than something I'd like to participate in. So yaoi is much more comfortable to me. Curious to see other people's reasons :)

    No, it makes sense, but just doesn't feel right. I don't think that's the cause. We genuinely enjoy chicks making out without all that deep stuff involved. It's just so friking sexy.

    Well same for me tho. Lots of fujoshis will say the same thing. Seeing attractive guys kiss is hot. Basically because they like attractive guys and seeing them together is exhilarating. While I don't care for two girls kissing and find it boring, I wouldn't go saying it's weird or disgusting. That would be hypocritical, seeing that I like two guys kissing; and narrow-minded, since it doesn't personally concern or involve me.

    That deep stuff is my personal motivation for getting so deep into yaoi, that I've figured out over the years.

    Lol, your last line made me realize that I might have been in denial all this time.

    I don't know if you've seen it, but I mentioned a couple times here that I'm really into gender bender. Ones with male to female transformations and straight romance. (I love yuri, but I like my gb to be straight)
    All, this time I've been saying that I just like the drama of it, their inner conflict and figuring out their new bodies, being embarrassed and stuff. And I like it when they fall for a man even though they've never been into men, I say that I prefer that type of romance cause that's when we get to see them being conflicted by it and start to accept being girl so that they can be with the other person. But I have always known deep down, I just fucking love gender bender. Even though all that I've said IS true, I still know that that isn't the sole reason. I, plain and simply, just love gender bender, no other deep reasons involved. But I still say that same as you as a motivation to read it. (I should've figured that out when I watched my first yaoi anime...don't ask, it was a trap...it had all the same emotional conflict in its romance cause the MC was straight, and I did enjoy watching it, the plot was good so I couldn't drop it even when I found out it was a trap, but I didn't go looking for more after that just because I'm not into yaoi, so I guess that should've given me a hint when I got obsessed with gender bender after my first.)

    Well yeah admittedly it's sexy to see two sexy 2D guys getting over each other.

    But let's say You are a pervert (on your scale). And straight male. A gay male can be pervert as well right? Plus its natural to get sexual pleasure from seeing others make out. Especially the sex we are attracted to. If two guys were making out for real in front of me though, I will take a detour and curse them like shit just like I would do to a straight couple with pda issues.

    Why I am saying this? Look at the Google dictionary:

    "a person whose sexual behaviour is regarded as abnormal and unacceptable."

    ....
    Well... Tbh this (at least my) society still considers woman who express their sexual desire as unacceptable... But this concept is unacceptable to me as well. I need my fanservice and I won't get it out of watching shit meant for males.

    Also considering there are so many perverts on the lose I don't wanna generalise myself with them.

    Well, definitely not GL...right?
    It's closer to BL I think. But it's most probably on a complete other genre on its own so I won't count it in with what I was talking about in this thread.

    at first i was confused on how there was no 'straight female' option, then i saw ;perverted female' and thought 'yea...basically the same thing' :blob_grin::blob_grin::blob_grin:

    i'm straight but bend towards asexual (not that my partner is bad at sex, it's just that my sex drive is almost non exist the last couple years)

    I believe this is discrimination against bots like @justabot . What is justabot supposed to vote for from this options??
    I believe an option should be added to cover the digital entities.
    @Walter vi Britannia please do the required.

    *waves* Im a straight female that likes BL! But I would've preferred to be a man, so I wont have to deal with things like cramps every month and "childbirth".
    What got me hooked into BL, was when I happened to cross one fluffy story. To me, the genre's type of love felt so real and honest. Like it takes alot of courage and determination to face the world and they made it!
