I'm pretty sure that at some point there has already been a thread like that.
But since I simply can't find it, I'll ask again.

What do you prefer, Yuri or Yaoi? Why do you prefer it?
And can you also please tell us your gender, I think it's quite interesting to see the preferences here.

I like both, but I prefer shounen-ai/shoujo-ai romance to the more hardcore stuff. I suppose I like shounen-ai a little more though, and I'm female.

Neither really. I find non-traditional ships (IE same gender) very annoying.

I'd say yuri, since I've never really liked yaoi.

They're the more softcore stuff. I assume you mean more they're dramatic and such.

I'm sure most straight men would prefer to see two girls doing it instead of two guys.

However, I find that many times when we have this thread, a good portion females enjoy both. A lot of yuri titles were made specifically for girls too, as in shoujo/josei.

Well... It is true that I find Yuri less disgusting than Yaoi.... Yaoi just creeps me out.... Still though I can't find any enjoyment out of either types. It's just not really my cup of tea.

Yaoi I guess... I like both, but seeing two boys lovin' each other is just a tad more entertaining for me. However I do think most Yuri is of better quality than most yaoi.

How is this asking people their sexual preferences? Guys watch lesbian porn and I believe most of the people who watch those genres probably aren't gay, I don't think that's who they are aimed at.

I don't really see where I am asking for peoples sexual preferences.
I'm bisexual and I like watching Yuri titles, I know heterosexual girls who prefer Yuri over Yaoi and also homosexual girls that do so.

I'm not really interested in your sexuality, I'm only wondering what Genre you guys prefer in Anime.

Neither. Homosexual sexual activities don't really excite me much and since I'm a heterosexual guy, Yaoi is pretty much out of contention anyways. Lately though, I've found myself enjoying Yuri more, though real life lesbian porn still disgust me.

Personally I don't like/love yuri or yaoi "in general", but some couples are an acception.

Like some Yuru Yuri, and Lucky Star.
and Naruto x Sasuke. (just in their relationship part I approve. Erase the sexual stuff.)

There needs be a GuyGenderSwaped x Girl or GuyGenderSwaped X Guy (im guessing you would call it a Fake-Trap?) as anyone who knows their tropes All Men Are Perverts
but since thats not a choice I will just chose yuri as one of my fav pairings KonataXkagami is a yuri pairing.

I had to say, Yuri.
Real life lesbian porn does not attract me as strong as yuri hentai.

And I think shoujo-ai is cute.

That's the only thing incorrect in your statement, it seems more balanced to me, though that aside, it would still be the same outcome in the poll even if the forums were predominantly female as the vast majority aren't into Yaoi.

ontopic:
I'd have to go with neither, i'm not into the whole shipping thing in general, let alone Yuri or Yaoi.

I don't think he's (or she's) asking for it in a shipping perspective, but rather which do we prefer from the two homosexual types.

Depends. I like the kinda comedic stuff such as in Black Butler when Grel is always trying to flirt with Sebastion, and in InuxBoku when Nobara is always trying to perv on Ririchiyo.

Those aren't really examples of actual Yuri or Yaoi, but I find all that kind of humor funny.

This. I like stuff like that used for comedic effect (IE Angel Beats Hinata and Otonashi). Otherwise it's kinda... awkward.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, danmari said that MAL forums are predominantly male (Which is far from true), so he/she's implying that because the forums are predominantly male there'll be more focus on Yuri, and i said that it's not true because MAL's members seem balanced between the two genders and even if it was predominantly female, the results will be close since the vast majority of girls are not into Yaoi and Yuri is primarly marketed at the female audience.
