| It's something I've always wanted to ask yaoi fans. I'm just too curious... For me, it was sort of a manufactured love. I first heard of yaoi when I wasn't into anime but into Avatar the Last Airbender. I thought it was disturbing and I remember thinking to myself "how could anyone like this???" a lot. Little did I know, I started google imaging yaoi evertime I was on the internet, yet I was still in denial. Then, I started getting into anime with my first anime DN Angel, which, if you've seen it, has a lot of BL fanservice. But what really pushed me over the edge into the wonderful world of yaoi was my fangirl friend that I met my senior year in high school who liked pairing boys together irl. There were these two cute boys on the freshmen water polo team that never, ever left each other's sides. They were like besties or something xD So my said friend asked me if I could draw them for her and I was like "eh, alrighty." The next day, I bring my beautiful yaoi drawing (lulz) to the pool deck show the girls on the team. They lol like hell. Those two freshmen boys hear us, see the drawing, become mentally disturbed, and to my horror ripped my drawing. (I spent a lot of hardwork on that one :[). With my revenge, I drew a comic* of them hehehehe, of which I grew obssessed over and BAM I discovered I was a yaoi fan. *Said comic. Please enjoy before it gets taken down from Photobucket :) So how bout you guys? What got you into it? |

| Heh, I realy liked your story ^-^ And I injoyed the TayLano XD To bad I dont have boys like that XD It would have been fun ^-^ If, you dont mind I re-hosted your drowing, So there shouldnt be any problems with it disapiering ^-^ Hmm.. Well At first I started liking anime. I loved everything that was connected to it. Becouse There almoust no animes on tv I could onely use internet to learn more about it. I was collecting pictures, and everythign I coudl get about it. Onely later on, I discoverded that theres NO WAY I can actualy collect everythign about anime, becouse there is just to much information XD After that, I found manga, read online or download, I was happy when I found ANY manga to read (well I was a kid, there is no way I knew about torrents and such)... So Then I started learning about diferent manga and anime denres. Sports, Romance, Ichi, and ofcores Yaoi came to my knowing aswell ^-^ BUT becouse it was a bit too much info to take at once, Yaoi was left out with no attention ~_~ *sad* Well, in any case, When I finaly learned about anime download and normal manga download, I became obsessed with it, I finaly got my hands on anime! It was a long time ago ofcorse.. Many years have past already. One day, when I was looking for mangas with crossdreasing (I realy like this genre) I found Princess Princess, I know its not yaoi or aythign, BUT there is ALOT of BL fanservice XD I kinda got interested, becouse 2 guys who look hot are togeter.. Hmm.. Nothing is in the way (I meen girls) lol XD So here I go looking for some yaois to check it out. At that time I still was a nob in searching for animes, so I started with mangas XD Mangatraders, Hmm.. How should I put it.. Became heaven for me XD *Unlimited* Manga XD AND there was a ton of yaoi, I downloaded some, well just to check it out. And I got totaly hoocked!! I dont realy rememebr my first yaoi manga... That was many many years ago... But I do remember that I was realy surprised about HOW much I started loving it! The guys are hot, the stories are interesting, I realy inoyed it. So starting from that time, I kinda was reading yaoi manags (and sometimes watching anime) regurary ^-^ If I dont read a week, in the end I have to read ALOT XD Somehow my mind is asking for it maybe ^-^ Subconciosly XD Hmmm.. Well Thats my story, Its kinda long I know, Sorry about that ^-^ |

| It's sorta hard to remember it seems so long ago... it's been about 5 years since I was first introduced to it. I've always been into anime, since way back in about the 2nd grade - Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, DBZ, etc. I got my first gay friend in about the 6th grade, and he was also into anime. We ended up being best friends, and it took to about the 8th grade before we were both introduced to yaoi. It actually started with a girl who had a gay romance novel that we got a peek into. Then I started finding innocent yaoi pictures, fanfics, the light stuff. I've always been sort of a poor kid, so I didn't get internet till about Freshmen year (which was icky dial-up), but before my first laptop, I'd go to the library and print off pictures and fanfics. Then, I started looking for anime porn first - I know, I'm a horny little beast - off my laptop but then I changed my search terms to gay anime porn, and came across scenes from Kizuna, Boku no Sexual Harrassment, Level C, and more. Then I got my own computer with wireless internet and came across aarinfantasy. I made sure to download all existing yaoi anime. I started buying yaoi manga from Borders, Barnes and Nobles, and other such book stores. I even started getting yaoi manga from the library. Now, as a senior in high school, I have a nice collection of yaoi manga - on and off my computer, and spend most of my time on the internet reading and/or watching yaoi. ^_^ That's pretty much all there was to it. P.S. I forgot to mention that from the start of yaoi, I've never been truly disgusted about it. Even when I watched Sensitive Pornograph for the first time (although I was shocked), I still never thought of it as gross. I've been open to sexual orientation since I was really young. My first masturbating experience was to a Victoria Secret commercial. XD At the age of about 7. That's when I really started become aware of my attraction to the opposite AND same sex. So it became absolutely natural for me to be okay with boy x boy, girl x girl, and girl x boy. I actually have a great fetish for taboo love stories - butler x master, teacher x student, loli, shota, incest, I'm even okay with furry. ^_^ So I've been really sensitized to this sort of thing at a really young age - and I think I'll always be accepting of relationships (regardless to how "wrong" most believe it is). |

| @ inuyashashotty You know, your searches online kinda remind me of what I did after I decided I liked yaoi. Especially aarinfantasy. They're like my haven lol. Also, I was introduced to porn when I was around ten or so (around the time I started masturbating as well) when I was online at a friend's house. We were watching porn together. She said she found it in all ways disturbing, I agreed but I was actually getting turned on and after that, I started watching porn at my house on HBO and Cinemax in the dead of night. (btw, I've never told anyone this, for some reason, I always felt this overwhelming sense of shame) but I blame my repulsion towards my first introduction to yaoi on being raised prejudiced ignorant conservative. Since then, I've done some critical thinking about myself and others and even started to question my beliefs. |
| @Selkaine Haha, aarinfantasy and here are my havens, as well! XD Actually, I started masturbating WAY before that 7 year old experience. That was just the first time I ever masturbated to SOMETHING rather than just fantasies/feelings. In the crib I use to hump pillows and my mom thought maybe I was molested or touched in some way so she took me to the doctor. Which he just ended up telling her I just had a "high libido" - my mom was like "WTF is that?!". So pretty much it means I'm hornier than the average person. So I've pretty much been masturbating since birth (and actually getting off - my mom said if someone were to interrupt me before I was... "finished", I'd get super pissed off and even start crying). -_-; I guess I'm lucky that way because most women don't experience an orgasm until their 30's. For my 16th b-day my mom bought me a vibrator - so that's another upside to being open about myself to my family (the story of the humping baby is very much known in my family) TT3TT - but my whole family also knows I'm bisexual and very much interested in gay porn. -*w*- As for religion, my parents are both Christians (but not heavy ones), and won't ever understand how I feel, but will accept it, none the less. My mom says, "better to masturbate then to be pregnant". lol I, myself, am pretty much Athiest. Although if I were to be a believer in any religion it'd be Shinto. Shinto, to me, seems the most realistic - and I believe life is in everything - earth, wind, trees, rocks, water, everything! But I can understand where you are coming from. Not personally of course, but I've had friends whose parents were really... uh... CONSERVATIVE, thus making them rebel more into having different beliefs and such. I think it's wrong to raise children to believe what you believe. If I ever have kids (which I really hope I don't), I would let them choose the path that they want to believe in rather than force my kids to believe what I do, ya know? Anyway, sorry for the super long reply. -_-; I didn't mean to ramble on as much as I did (and I tend to ramble, a LOT)! ^_^' |
| It started when I ended up finding myself with a lesbian best friend and with a twist of crazy hilarious events, some how she managed to get me to sit down and watch it lol I would never admit I liked it to her face but she knew I loved it even though I didnt say anything. |
    |
| HAHAHA. I used to be repel BL/Yaoi a lot, i always thought it was not right but who cares and I've never really had any interest in it till i randomly decided to watch Junjou Romantica last year (Yes, i only got into this last year), and then KA-BAMMM; it's unstoppable. -smirks- |
 |
| I've found with my friend at the youtube a fragment of Boku no Pico and it ends before the naughty scenes so I and my freind decide to donwload this and watch all because we were curious what happend next and I love it :) Then I watched Junjou Romantica and this one that's how I start liking BL XD |
| Well at first I was introduced to regular anime. Then I discovered that there were many more genres in it, and I was really shocked that there was something called yaoi with hot guys pairing together. I never really thought about since, as long as it was anime, I would like it, right? So with some interest in looking at good art and hot guys I eventually got to reading yaoi. It was a new experience and it was great, really. I came to love it as much as I loved regular old romance. Somewhere along the road, I was infected with yaoi-itus, and my whole world was about yaoi. It was yaoi yaoi yaoi all day long and it was the only type of manga I was really interested in. Then it went away eventually as I eventually devoured all the really good yaois. xD But I'm not one to buy or download it, in fear of being discovered lol :P |
 |
| when you start watching anime, you eventually find out ecchi after shounen and shoujo. I was 12 and curious, lol. I loved reading ecchi on mangafox, you know it had a weird site design back then. I clicked random manga on the selection list. one of them said "mature content" and "yaoi". I always wondered what that annoying word meant. so I just started to read it. I can clearly remember that it was 'dear green' *oh nostalgia* anyway. to my luck, it was mostly shounen ai. of course my first reaction was WTF TWO GUYS ARE KISSING WFTWTFWFsjsfgo but then I was like "tee~ so this is yaoi~" the second BL I read was one of the most hardcore yaoi manga on mf lol uke was a HUEG whore and there were cops, big desperate guys who slept with this supernatural slut who could turn into any person these desperate guys wanted. it's named 'sex therapist' I guess. yeah, it was pretty disturbing for a twelve year old kid. lol so I never really liked reading shounen ai since I directly started with delicious yaoi. siigh good old days. |
| It was just a few months ago that I began to like yaoi. I used to think it was gross and didn't understand why people liked it so much. Because I don't like to judge and wanted to understand, I tried reading a yaoi manga once, but didn't really get into it. I'd already been a fan of Naruto and romance. I loved to read about pairings (like Sasuke x Sakura) in either fanfiction or doujinshi. Then I happened to come across a Sasuke x Naruto doujinshi on youtube and thought it was really cute. After that I started to become a big fan of SasuNaru and looked up as many doujinshi and fanart as I could. With that limited, I wanted to read more with boy love and started reading yaoi manga, and now here I am!! |
 |
| Lets see, First I was really interested in manga and everything about it, i only started watching anime and reading mangas like 3 yrs ago. I wanted to read everything. My only source (that i know off) was the library. I used to go and read everyone of the manges they got on the shelfves. I my self i love books so much from the beginign but mangs made me love it more. I saw this manga, it has a nice cover with a really nice looking guy in it. So i picked up and looked through quick. I liked the art and decided that i am going to read it. It was called "La Esperança" by Chigusa Kawai. Its shouna ai, I love the manga, it had such a sweet story/sad but with a great ending but i was also thinking "why is that guy kissing another "GUY"?? lol Is that right? i had alot of questions but Ofcourse from that very moment that i picked the book from the library, i got hooked into yaoi and shouna ai mangas. Haha. After that i went online made seraches and alot of looking and found lots of them and It became heave for me. So even thou there are alot of anime for yaoi, i rarly watch them. I prefer mangas cuz they got no end nor a start ^^ Sorry i wrote alot ^^'' |
 |
| I can't actually remember, when exactly it was... It's so long ago. Almost ten years ago, I think. I mean, I've always been open minded - I've been raised that way, but the first time I started consciously pairing boys... It was probably on the first year of high school, when I saw Gundam Wing for the first time. I remember pairing Quatre and Trowa quite early in the series... And I saw Weiss Kreuz about the same time, and - let's face it - it is made for slashing the characters. At that time, I still wasn't too serious about it, but then I happened to stumble into some lovely illustrations by Youka Nitta - and started reading Haru wo Daiteita, and a lot of doujinshi... Later came Yamane Ayano. And as my love for seiyuu's grew, I found BL-drama-CDs. That's about five years ago, now. |

I doubt my library actually have mangas, i mean they DO have comics like what snoopy, and all those but I've never actually seen Mangas around. Maybe i did but they usuall only have English Comics. Maybe i should visit my library sometime and see if they have manga there too O: but i doubt i can find anything interesting there, we do have a really strict screening thing going on |
| |
| it started in high school for me. i wasn't really into anime at all, but my older sister enjoyed it, and her friends. they used to talk about series and fanfiction (didn't know what it was at the time), and i just with what they said because i never once watched/read anything. they would always talk about heeroxduo, and i didn't understand. but they would say they were together and do yaoi stuff, and i just accepted it as truth. they use to show me pictures online with them together (my fav. is the one with them kissing underwater). i've never seen the series before they talked about it, so when i finally found the truth about Gundam Wing, and how Heero and Duo aren't a real couple i was very upset. i've even seen pics of them together and whatnot, so i was amazed that people drew them so well. it seems they brainwashed me into thinking anime and manga was BL and i just went with the flow cuz if my sister liked it, it has to be okay right? O.o? well that's how it all started with Heero and Duo being in love with each other. i always thought BL was normal^^ now i just have to add all the yaoi manga i've read to my list lol |
 |
| Well...to beign. My first anime i watched was Bleach(watched it 2 years ago), of course it was normal and so on. That was were began my anime otaku life.I started watching many different anime and then i found this anime-Loveless, i watched AMV on youtube and i thought that it is a great anime(i was dumb and thinked that the main character is a girl!!!!) I saw that on genre was this "mystical" word shounen-ai, but i was too lazy to check what it means. Ok when i started watching that anime i was like:Wait!The girl is a guy?soo it was a guy to begin with??? But somehow i didnt care. When i finished anime i was like" Ohh, so shounen-ai is were boys make out with boys" But i rly liked that anime..a lot.Still i somehow thinked it was gross and i couldnt even tell my best friend about this..i knew she would think im crazy :D That was how it began. I watched many animes before i started watching Junjou Romantica....When i watched AMV i (AGAIN) thought that one of the characters were a girl(again the same mistake) but when i started watching it, it was fun and i didnt stop until i finished the second season.After that were realy cute animes like Gravitation(loved the plot) and Gakuen Heaven....i guess that how it all started..i rly liked those anime and i started to read manga too(of course at the begining shounen-ai and then only yaoi) I've read so many Yaoi manga and i guess i didnt even see when i rly started to become an Yaoi Fangirl :D :D |

♥♥♥♥Isnt life sad, when all you do is live??♥♥♥♥ |
| Wow almost ten years ago my sister (Tekizen) gave me a fanfic to read called Time. It was a Duo X Wufei fuc, and thought she was a total freakshow, but hell it was really good, and now I'm stuck. |
Well one thing I've learned from this experience, is that a princess is still a princesss even when she is naked. |
| Well i started liking yaoi when i saw for the first time Gravitation [4 years ago]...okay at first time i thought that Shuichi was a girl *shame on me* but at the kiss scene i was ehm...surprised but somehow i like it btw,the plot was so good :] and over the time i continued to watch shonen-ai/yaoi or BL dramas or anime even read manga. My sister and a few friends thought that i was crazy because i watch at this stuff but i didn't really care about what the said and i started to became a yaoi fan xD. |
 |
| Hm how & why? Surprisingly at first it had nothing at all to do with anime. I always liked anime, but was pretty un-knowledgeable about yaoi & BL. I think it started around 5th or 6th grade. When we had a mandatory reading assignment, I can't remember the title, but the book was about two guys who were best friends. Their was a lot of innocent BL in the book, but it didn't end very well. So my best friend says something like... "I wish they would have ended up together, couldn't he see he loved him..." Well birds of a feather flock together right...? I felt the same way too, I thought it ended completely wrong. When I asked my other best buddy, he told theirs a whole genre of that for books and shows ... and anime/manga. I didn't care about the shows or books, but the anime/manga really caught my attention. ;) So I tried reading shounen-ai, and yaoi manga (I'll admit the sex scenes really surprised me lol considering I was in 6th grade), and I loved them. And so I tired watching yaoi/shounen ai anime and I loved that. I've been hooked ever since. |
| well you can call me pervert but I first like it for the sex. I explain, the boy and girl is too lame, she never know if she love him or not and the boy have to wait to the girl finally gets that he loves her more than anything. But in BL is so fast. The boy like the other boy, they do it and like there confuse they stay with each other until they really love each other. I don't know if you people get my point but that's why I love yaoi!! ^//^ |
| For me, I guess I kind of just went like, "oh, this is cool," the moment I discovered yaoi through fanfiction (I think it was Kaname and Zero from Vampire Knight). I never really went through that 'this-is-gross' period. In fact.... I think I started liking yaoi only months after I started like anime in an otaku kind of way. |
| As far as I can remember I think it was on my summer graduation, and my first yaoi manga was Haru wo daiteita, althought at first I was really shocked lol but then what the heck ... I mean these are hot men making out so I took a liking on yaoi after reading the 2nd volume of Haru Wo Daiteita ^^ |
 |
| I start interesting yaoi when i see fragment Ikoku Irokoi Romantan. This series i need to do my movie with choose characters from one seiyuu:D Suwabe Junichi :D Hah but then i didn't watch this yet:P Oh after that i ask my freand one good series yaoi:D and she tell me about Junjou Romantica:D So when i see first half first episode:D i was very existation and i have noseblood:D So that was been :D one year ago:D Oh my freand which more crazy yaoi fan then i am.

| ..... Well about eleven years ago I started reading GW fics.... and I kinda handed one called Time (Wufei X Duo) off to my sister. She admitted it was good and upon being mildy accepted as not being completely nuts, I explored into the concept further and more openly :D |
I won't be fooled by a mere 3-d girl!!! |
| When I first found out what yaoi was, I was definitely "Ew, that's really gross, and totally wrong." I was looking for some Naruto fanfiction, and came across a TON that were yaoi. I was busy ignoring them until I saw one that had well over 2000 reviews. My curiosity and my absolute LOVE for a well written story got the better of me and I read the NaruSasu fic "Chasing Naruto" by AkaiTsume on fanfiction.net... OMFG I fell in LOVE. But I felt guilty about being so enamored with it, and resolved myself not to read anything more...I only lasted 4 months ;P I gave up avoiding BL when I started to notice all the intentional BL subtext put in anime series specifically to lure in yaoi fans. And now I'm hooked; most of my manga list is yaoi/shonen ai, and I look for series with a lot of guys or BL fanservice! The rest, as they say, is history ^__^ |
| Ah, I suppose it all started with Naruto. Though I've always been a bit of a fan, until I got a computer -around 8 years old- I wasn't truly into anime/manga. It's probably not my first experience, but the earliest ones I can remember are from deviantart fanfics. I can easily say that SasuNaru got me baited and hooked, while taboos like ItaSasu reeled me it. As far as I can remember I've always been really open-minded so I never went through an 'ewwww' period it was more like 'huh? I never thought of it that way' kinda thing. Since then though, I'm interesting in basically anything, though yaoi vamps hold a special spot. ;) |
| i started liking yaoi when i accidentally watched the anime gravitation.. yuki was the one i've noticed back then, and i totally thought that shuichi was a girl *LOL* at first, it was awkward for me to watch it especially when the scenes were lovey-dovey and all together with my younger brother and my grandmother.. (think of their reactions while watching it, Boy x boy love scenes) but then, i totally liked the story.. from then on i searched from the internet BL animes and mangas... as well pictures.. :P |
| ...actually it was my mom who introduced me to BL, by giving me some Junjou DVDs she bought on her "business" trip. And man, I loved it. Later on, I started browsing/drawing Naruto BL/xcore yaoi fanarts, and then more shows came along, and after all that, there it was... Togainu no Chi ... the God of yaoi itself! It was only natural for me to turn into a total BL/xcore yaoi obsessed fangirl afterward. |
 |
| Erm well...for me, i'm still not a full time Yaoi fan. As in, i still can't stand guys doing each other...But I kinda like those more innocent care-for-each-other type. Afterall i just graduated from PG13...I don't want my mind to be polluted just yet (though the girl sitting next to me during jap class is heavily polluted...)But i started liking it after watching Hetalia. Haha and i love USUK pairing XD |
Originally known as Pandora3Hearts. UKUS in WIN!     |
| I was twelve when I started to like yaoi. The tiny bloom of curiousity was brought about after reading a couple of Naruto fanfics at ff.net (I can't remember which pair it was, it may have been KyuubixNaruto though.), but it was Saiyuki that had brought it to full bloom. The little hints of shounen-ai, crasses, touches, and even the hot moments. (I am oddly mature for my age, so be quiet). Pretty much it was mostly dormant of ff.net and shounen-ai moments in anime (quiet, just because I can read manga and ff stories rated M, I'm still a little cautions of watching it.) seeing as onemanga, mangafox has little to perc my curiousity, but I did eventually find a site (this past couple of months) that had some interesting ones. It has increased somewhat after getting into Kuroshitsuji, it has risen to shota and mpregs now. 'laughs' I guess they were right about curiousity killing the cat, but staticfaction brings it back. Sorry but I am not very comfortable talking about myself, so |

I love FF.net and am a user myself, and I was first found it while looking for some random episode of some random anime. Then I got hooked on SakuraxSasuke (I know, totally cliche fangirl phase). But I saw started reading a great one that actually had Naruto thrown in the mix. At first, I was like, "Dude, why am I reading this?" But the plot was so good, and it was oh so very *ahem* steamy that I couldn't resist reading the rest. I looked at the user's favorites and got hooked on BL fanfiction. I just didn't expect there to be any actual anime that were BL; I thought we were just a small group of nerds writing out our fantasy pairings. Then I watched Yami no Matsuei (Descendants of Darkness) on SciFy/SyFy, and I was like "This is definitely shonen-ai. If I love this, why can't I find other BL anime?" At there's my story. |
| well, i'm kinda new to anime and manga, so it all started with that. first manga i got into real bad was bleach, and my first manga love was abarai renji (whose poster still hangs on the wall =^3^=). somehow, i have no idea how, i came across some shuuren doujinshi and that was it :3 later came yaoi manga. i still remember my first, a oneshot by minami haruka "i'll tie you up, kiss you and f**k you". well, that set high standards :3 i was hooked. i have a huge collection on my computer, because where i live it's hard to get my hands on hard copy ;_; plus, i'm too shy to go to the story and order a BL manga, mostly because i look too young to read stuff like that. let me see you try to order yaoi when you look like 12-year-old ;_; |
| my friend got me into it.))) |
| You try and you fail. Try again. Fail better. |
Nexion said: Well, I always liked boys since I've grown up enough to like somebody in that way :D And I had a feeling that love between boys definitely should be depicted in art. But it didn't. Gay movies were boring and too dramatic (and frequently with lack of cuties >_< ). But then somebody suggested me to watch Ai no Kusabi and Gravitation... :3 I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed. Dude, my mom got me hooked on one of her freaking soap operas, As the World Turns. Dr. Ried Oliver is one of the few good looking gay guys that I've seen on television. Freaking smexy. |
| LOL it just happened yesterday! i watched anime loveless 2yrs ago (BL) and i didnt like it...then after that i was SURROUNDED by BL and YAOI! And One of my best friends was a fan girl!

| It's interesting to see how everyone got into yaoi. :)) For me, it started when I was freaking 9. My friend told me to watch this anime on television, Darker Descendants. Well, when I watched it, I called my friend and told her, "B-but they're gay!" and she replied, "That's the point!" And then I got interested, though I was still definitely in denial. :)) Then I went to FF.net, got curious, didn't know Darker Descendants was Yami no Matsuei, was into Saiyuki, wanted to see what couples would come out if I chose the "Romance" genre in Saiyuki page, saw Sanzo x Goku, read a lemon story I never understood, searched the internet, saw Roy x Ed (FMA) doujinshi, downloaded and viola! ...I saw which goes where and what they're doing. Thus my collection. XD; It heightened when my friend during my 2nd year in HS, and made two of my other friends and I watch ENZAI. Then I lost all shame. :)) |
 I can't believe neither my anime nor manga list is completely listed |
| It all started when I was 9ish 10ish. I was obsessed with CCS, becuase I used to watch it when I was like 3, and I finally got the manga, so yeah. Anyways, I was skimming google images for pics of Tomoyo, I believe, and i came up on this pic with Tomoyo and Sakura kissing. (The pic was called Yuri hentai kiss or sumthn.) I didn't know what hentai or Yuri was so i looked them up and came up on this website with a bounch of yurri clips. I watched a few yuri ones and then there was this yaoi one that looked kinda oldish and was about this doc and his patient. Fast forward a few months I stopped watching hentai at the request of my sis (Yep, watched it with my sis and bro) but lil did they know i still watched it, well at least I still watched yuri. That was my first encountr. my second was when I was on mangafox and during the time period i was obsessed with this anime call nurse witch komugi. I was looking for its manga (It doesnt have one) when i came upon this yaoi manga about a crossdressing nurse that got molested by his patients. I was eating alfredo while reading about the c*m scenes , haha. I was like 10/11 there. At that time I still was disgusted by yaoi. Finally, I came upon a fluff fanfic between two male chars and found one of my fav authors. Thing was she only wrote yaoi. I took the dive and haven't come up since. I am a proud yaoi fan dammit! This all happened before I was 12. |
| Hmmm...how I wonder...well Im always open to new and different things.In real life i dont mind gays at all.So when i started watching anime i was looking for better art and came across 'Strawberry panic'-yuri,more like shoujo-ai anime.When i watched it,I liked it and looked for some man-and-man anime,'cuz i liked that better and watched some.Then started reading manga and thats how it happend..i guess? xD |

| Well.. I started watching anime about a year ago, or something. I was searching with the 'advanced search' options and was looking thought the genres.. Because I was kinda new, I didn't knew what all those japanese words mean, like mecha, ecchi and even Yaoi as well. So I klicked it and then there was Gravitation. :)) I read some of the reviews and after I getted what yaoi is about I found that kinda interesting. ;)) So I watched the first episode. I was Fangirl after their fist kiss ! >33< You could not discribe this feeling.. It's just so exciting and you can't wait to google more and more and even so watch/read more and more. :D I'm Yaoi-fan since I started watching Anime. ( Gravitation was my second anime after Elfenlied. ~ ) Thanks Gravitation, that I'm a Yaoi-Fangirl. ♥♥ |

| Whoa! so many different things you've been gone through. From what i see, i think i was late to start liking yaoi. Anyway, here is my story: 2 years ago, i saw some SasuNaru and though "how could they do that? Ok I don't want them to be couple with other characters but, how?" I didn't wonder for the rest then after 2 months (in October'08), I met anime lovers through internet, in the real life. She shares some anime serie with us then showed some Junjou Romantica episodes. I said "What is yaoi?" She explained everything to me, it was interesting. And gave some OVA to me. When I get home I firstly watched "Ikoku Irokoi Romantan" I was like "kya~~~ what is this?!" and ofcourse my face was red xD Because I was such a shounen lover. I would read everything with fight and all.. After waatching anime I've started to read bl manga, I still wasn't sure about that. But I moved with some manga then I continued. The more I read, the more i wanted to continue. and Totally Captivated was the one which really made me into it. I said: "Omg! There is also this kind of manga/manhwa? (it was also my first manhwa) Everything I wan is there!" I was thinking about, - bishounens - fights - blood - saving the lover - etc... I just can't stand to read girly uke manga. Where is the point of reading it. it's something like another shoujo. Yes, I'm a yaoi-fan-girl i guess xD |
| After watching D.Gray-Man (lol) I loved the idea of pairing the guys! And after that I realized I started pairing guys in several shows XD which eventually lead to me loving BL in general! At first I was super embaressed about liking Yaoi but I'm not anymore! I've even managed to drag some of my friends into loving Yaoi too! :D Totally Captivated is my FAVORITE yaoi manga! GuyXGuy is so cute! |
| first I was like "oh mai gawd, I'll never touch yaoi"... But you know, deviantart, MAL, fanarts & stuff are bombarding you from all sides XD And then comes wondering... While watching anime I was thinking "How would those two guys looking together?" I've started watching Loveless and completed it in two days. Although I was AFRAID (^^) I gave Junjou Romantica a chance. Trying to deny loving BL, I dragged myself in deeper and deeper... Totally Captivated, some shounen-ai oneshots, then currently publishing series... touching, I know T_T |
 |
| Why I started liking it? Hell if I know.. I`m just naturally attracted to it like most girls. |
| ishh bcause of ouran high :) u know the HITACHIIN TWINS . They turned meh on ... then I found my self craving for more. :D |
