I never watch Yaoi.
Shounen ai is okay for me.

Okay i lied, i watch Yaoi but never got into it.
Somthing like love stage or yuri on ice, i never fully watch it.
Just skip skip skip.

or perhaps Boku no Pico rings your bell?

The Boku no Pico trilogy is unironically one of the most well made hentai anime of all time. I wish they made non-BL hentai in the style of Boku no Pico.

The only yaoi/shounen-ai anime I've watched is Yuri On Ice and I liked it a lot.

Unless there are traps, I'm not really interested.
The only shounen-ai that I liked was Doukyuusei, and that was a good movie.

When I watch a show with a strong romance element (or at least an apparent one) I look for shows that deliver an experience I can relate to, so I can't relate to shounen-ai. However, I have absolutely no problem with shows that feature same-sex couples as characters, because they deserve to be represented as a part of society.

I don't think any guy is 100% straight (even me). If the right situation and circumstances arouse - I think any guy would "get down" with another male.

Mostly these straight guys watched Boku no Pico and probably 50% of them liked it, 50% of them threw up afterwards. Idk. Lmfao

I tried some, most of them sucked.
YOI was okay, but the romance aspect was definitely the weakest part of the show, no doubt about it. One of the poorest "love relationships" I've seen in anime. Was way too wishy-washy and ended up being a waste of my time.

This has been researched, actually. It's not true that there aren't "100% hetero" males (or females for that regard), but overall sexuality isn't binary.

I watched This Boy Can Fight Aliens on Anime Network On Demand without even knowing it was a shonen-ai and liked it okay.

It honestly was very tame/vague in terms of its shonen-ai content, to the point it has a G rating on MAL.

Does Yuri on Ice count? I know a few straight men who watch yaoi but I have never watched one unless we can count Gon x Killua from HxH as a truly homosexual relationship , you know , Togashi seems to include a lot of yaoi elements in this manga.

no. 6 was pretty good i guess

but i know why yaoi fans say yaoi manga is better.. tokyo babylon and litchi hikari club are some of my fav manga and contain some yaoi
lord of the ring was also good for a quick and memorable laugh, but this one is already deep into parody being a sumo yaoi manga; theres also a guy who climbs stairs only with using his nipples

tho neither these titles have the yaoi or shounen ai tags on MAL.. i guess just like harem and ecchi they only give the tag to the most generic ones of the bunch

Thats so stupid. What fucking dude is going to be like "yeah, I'm a little gay" while being interviewed (presumably around other people)? Of course you're going to get a set response.

I honestly don't think that you read my comment though... I said, and I quote - "If the right situation and circumstances arouse".

A random ass poll isn't the "right" situation.

I may have watched a few shonen-ai mainly because i was clickbaited by the story that turned out to be quite interesting but it never crossed the line of man to man kiss if that happened i would drop the anime immediately because i find it uncomfortable and i never watched yaoi and i don't plan to.

I watched No. 6 and thought the romantic parts were really well made. The fact that it's between two guys doesn't really make a difference to me.

But that's probably not what people mean when they talk about Shounen Ai.

I don't know how a supposedly "straight" male can ever enjoy Yaoi. Shonen Ai maybe if it's just bromance and not borderline "I'll suck your sausage." If it's bromance, that's understandable, especially if all the female characters in the anime are dull bitches. When I play Mass Effect 3, I'll glady suck Garrus' dick and dump any bitch you can hook up with in Mass Effect 3, no homo of course.

I found YOI to have a relationship that can be cute at times, and perhaps great. "Perhaps", as I felt that there needs to be more story, and thus development. I also have a bit of complaints in regards to Viktor being overwhelmingly perfect and interested in Yuuri. What's his deal?

I'm straight-ish, but I like yaoi. I watched Papa no Dark or something and Jojou Romantica and that anime with a yaoi sex scene.

Yes, I do enjoy yaoi despite being straight-ish since I do have my husbandos.

Sure, I enjoyed Doukyousei. A good romance for me depends much more on stuff like the characters and their personality and how they interact, and of course the visuals and music and atmosphere and everything, than the gender and sexual orientation of the characters. Romance and Love are universal after all.

Tbh most yaoi/shounen-ai isn't very good at depicting romance tho, and that's why I'm not very interested in the genre (romance is not one of my main interests in the first place).
I probably regret this post by now.

I used to think I was completely straight, but about 4 months ago, I finally came to terms with the fact that I'm bisexual. I just can't resist those girly bishounens!

I wish that I could find a bishounen in real life.

Though, they aren't really from yaoi anime, though I do like them.

Sebastian from Black Butler
Hisoka from HxH
Rohan, Bruno and Joseph from Jojo
Papillon from Busou Renkin cause he is one sexy son of a gun
I also find Ciel from Black Butler cute
Ryo Saeba from City Hunter
And a lot more.
I plan to watch Free! for those handsome boys
I've yet to watch a lot of shounen-ai, but I've been kept up with other things.
Well, I have to watch much more really. I also like reverse harem like Brothers Conflict. Brothers Conflict was one of my gateways to anime when I watched it during mid 2014 when I was starting with anime lol

No and i never will. The plot revolves around gayness and gay romance and the characters are all gay and look gay.

Just watching it is already pretty gay, liking it is even gayer.

The only yaoi that i did watch was boku no pico, only for the sake of being a classic and also that the shotas all looked like chicks with dicks anyway.
