How did you discover yaoi

Through my mum. Haha she has a whole bunch of them at home and since I loved anime at a young age, as soon as I learned to read she recommended me to read a shounen ai. Though I don't really read much of it now, it's still a beloved genre of mine. They were actually the first form of manga I read. :)   4 reply

I mistook this one manga for shoujo, but it was shounen-ai. I got into it cause the plot was funny. Then all of a sudden the website i was reading manga from uploaded a surplus of bl which i got curious about since i was attracted to the art. And thats the story of how i fell into bl hell :) My tastes in bl have also become very twisted ever since ......   1 reply

As a horny teenager, I was already watching ecchi and hentai. After being finished with an ecchi, I continued onto the "recommended for you" page and chose a manga with nice aesthetics.

I've always been a curious one so once I discovered anime, it didn't take long for me to discover yaoi. I just knew what it was but I wasn't a fujoshi yet. Then my friend kept saying yaoi (we even argued about how it was pronounced) and even sends some ereri dj. Then I saw Junjou Romantic and actually loved it, but I didn't explore more deliberatel......   1 reply

I was really into that musical Be more chill at the time, so as I was searching for some fanart and I started to see a lot of them shipping Michael x Jeremy and I found it interesting. I had never shipped two male characters before that. After that whole lot of gay and lesbian fanart I searched for, youtube recommended me the first episode of Hito......   reply

I didnt know what yaoi was then but then I searched for it. It began with Naruto's comedic pairing with Sasuke. I found it very cute and funny until an older acquaintance told me "I didn't know you were into yaoi (ya-oy)." I searched for it and then I basically said goodbye to my innocence.   reply

I remember getting into and liking a youtuber that did anime related things when I first got into anime and watching it.(akidearest) And I remember looking at my recommendations page on YouTube and seeing a video by her called “Hentai Terms” that’s literally how I found the hentai part then got to yaoi by watching another video of hers that I......   1 reply
