| Is necessary for an anime watcher to be homosexual to enjoy homosexual (Yaoi/Yuri) anime? Or Does enjoying homosexual anime means you're a homosexual? If the answer was "Yes" then does this mean people who are sexualy attracted toward kids would enjoy watching lolicon/shotacon hentai and vice versa right? |
 |
| I don't really know... Personally, I enjoy Yuri but avoid Yaoi as a straight male. (What's with the baity topics this day...lol) |
| SEEMINGLY MOST STRAIGHT MALES SEEM TO LIKE FEMALE ON FEMALE, AS FEMALE ARE THEIR SEXUAL PREFERENCE SEEMINGLY MOST STRAIGHT FEMALES SEEM TO LIKE MALE ON MALE, AS MEN ARE THEIR SEXUAL PREFERENCE now that that's out of the way. I don't care as long as there are dicks involved. -Temmie |
| I've enjoyed both shounen ai anime I've watched and I enjoy a lot of moe anime which tends to have yuri subtext or shoujo ai. I am a straight male. |

| Pretty sure you don't have to be gay to enjoy it, of course if a yaoi anime focuses a lot on sex it'd be a different situation but something like Love Stage could be enjoyable for straight guys cause it's just a hilarious romcom but in this case the romance is between guys :3 even though one of them is one hell of a trap >_> But if you enjoy yaoi as a guy and then I'm talking about the really lewd stuff and you still claim to be straight.. I'd tell you to think again. Though in the end it's rare for a straight male to decide "hey I'm gonna go watch a yaoi anime!" |
| whenever i watch yuri i put myself in the shoes of a person watching yuri. so no i guess |
| what the fuck is a 'homosexual anime'? If you mean 'anime including one or more homosexual characters', then unless it's porn of course any heterosexual person could still enjoy the anime dependent on the content and execution. Now whether you classify most Yaoi as porn or not, that's a different question. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| yknow I used to like this user named Deago but now.. Im slowly thinging that.. hes an idiot |

| If it is not focused on sexual scenes or homosexual fantasies (like magically turning someone into an homosexual person @_@), AND if the romance (I suppose you are asking about love stories) is interesting/moving/good written, why would someone dislike it even if he/she is not in this category? (of course, the hypothesis is that he/she enjoys romance stories) (after all, feelings / sentiments are universal) |

ixaa said: Veredin said: Nope though honestly I don't believe homosexuality is a thing. ? how does that work? 30 character limit I believe people are simply attracted to what they're attracted to on a psychological level. In other words I do not believe sexuality is biological. Sexuality can change and evolve as humans go through different experiences in life. Specific traits and even specific genders that may have attracted you before may not do the same for you in the future. |
| I think anyone can enjoy it, unless they hate homosexual people or the anime itself already has a bad plot. |

I think a better way to phrase what you're saying is sexuality is not innate, or determined by merely a physical attraction. For instance somebody sees a picture of an anime character they are attracted to, but then told it's a trap. Suddenly they claim they are no longer attracted to it because they're not gay. Nothing about the visual stimuli of the sexually attractive character changed, the change was with the perception of that character. I assume this is what you mean when you say sexuality is more "psychological", right? Because that person's sense of sexuality stems from perception of their self-image: "I'm not gay", instead of what they find literally physically attractive right in front of their eyes. |

| No Shit Sherlock No, you just have to be a Fujoshi girl. |
| Not exactly, but I'm sure it would sure as hell help. |
  |
| Um, no. Why is this a question? A lot of straight guys like watching girl on girl, right? Likewise, lots of straight girls like watching guy on guy. And that's just when it comes to sex appeal! I'm a straight girl, but I can enjoy a yuri anime by rooting for the couple. It's like, you don't need to be attracted to people to ship them??? You don't need to self insert or be turned on to want a couple to be happy together??? |

I feel this might be the case as well. After all, words like "homosexual" and "heterosexual" are merely language. Their existence isn't indicative of the existence of what they're describing. We just take it for granted though. I'm just curious if this has ever been formally researched. |

| Nah. I'm straight and I've already managed to watch like 5 Berserk episodes. |
| Wtf kind of question is this lol? Obv many str8 guys like yuri many str8 girls like yaoi howtf does that make u homosexual, anyway ain't nothin wrong with homosexuals enjoying w/e they enjoy |

| I'm not sure what you mean by "homosexual anime", but I have no problem watching characters of any gender/orientation. As long as they're well written I'm not bothered. |

Nova_Amaya said: I can't believe someone actually thinks like this. I don't want to offend anyone but that's kinda f*cking stupid. I don't know why your sexual preference/orientation would be a necessary factor to enjoying something. You either like it or you don't. It doesn't matter if you're gay or not. I like yaoi anime. Quite a bit. That doesn't make me gay. That just means I enjoy the storyline or I find the content funny or the characters endearing or whatever. If I was watching a yaoi anime that wasn't any good I would stop watching it. Vice versa for yuri anime. And people seriously, you can't be turned gay. I don't know if I can agree with you tbh. I watch game of throne for eg, and the gay scenes don't really bother me. But if you're into a series that main focus is about boys love now that's a different story. You're probably straight, but watching gay anime Means you're probably not as straight as you think you're. Lol That's just my point of view on the topic, so don't take it personal. Honestly, if I was watching yaoi anime, I would start to question my sexualty tbh. I'm not homophobic though. |

| Nah fam, I'm about 85% straight and yet I like yuri.. |
| No, I don't care what their orientation is as long as it's a good anime. |
| Hunter x Hunter is my #1 fav and its super gay. Also, Toriko has too many fans for them all to be gay, and Toriko is gayer than rainbow pajamas. |

| Well I'm straight and I enjoyed the heck out of Shinsekai Yori. Also you gotta look at it the other way around. Can gay people enjoy straight anime? Pretty sure the answer is yes, since 90% of anime is straight. |

Right...Honestly, just survey the oceans of fujoshis whether you have to be homosexual to enjoy homosexual anime. Be careful though, they might ship you with anything and everything including that piece of paper you hand them from the survey. I would stick with online surveys. Either way you will get an overwhelming number of NO WAY's. 100% guaranteed. |
| Nah, love between men is a beautiful thing. In fact there are several "straight" anime/manga I kind of wish went another way. |
| It is necessary to be straight to enjoy heterosexual romance fiction? Answer that @Deago. |
| If the purpose of that anime is sexual gratification, you need to be the right orientation. Unless you like hot guys, you won't enjoy the sex in Yaoi. If we're talking about homosexual romance stories, you can enjoy it no matter who you are. Homosexuals still experience love and sex and pain like all of us. |

| Yes, there's no excuse. You watched it, you are fucking gay. |
 |
| It depends. I once read an article explaining that a male who 'Enjoys' sexual shows about guy x guy may be himself homosexual, because they're very visual. However, female sexuality seems to be different and apparently even straight female can 'enjoy' watching two girls together. |
