| I don't understand this though , why do I have this hate for yuri but fangirl over yaoi?it seriously is turning me on and I don't even like guys at all let alone seeing them naked it seems to me that yuri isn't really made for lesbians not only that I hate the voices that sounds like lolli girls , aren't there any yuri anime with mature relationship where I can giddy over like I do with yaoi ? for me the high school setting of yuri is a turn off , although im not asking for recomendations + I didn't really try to watch yuri fully and didnt really glance at it since I kinda became addicted to yaoi recently most of the plots sounds weird to me I didn't find anything serious other then perverted girls lol I hate reading manga's to the core but somehow just SOMEHOW since I ran out of yaoi anime I couldn't help myself but download some yaoi manga's currently im still downloading them and was wondering why so I came here and ask anyone else having this problem? like lesbians that like yaoi and not yuri or maybe gay's liking yuri but not yaoi (but I highly doubt gays will dislike yaoi manga , even if they do they won't like yuri either (might be wrong though I shouldn't label it like that) |

| it's because you like the storylines of yaoi series better. there are way more BL manga out there in every genre/premise whilst yuri is much limited. (even yuri fans can agree with this, y'all have less manga) |
| @EcchiLordMamster I agree with you but I don't like that to much , if it has a great plot that happens to have ecchi in it why not even if it's a hentai with great plot also why not I was watching "sensetive pornograph" but there was no plot I felt weird afterwards I tought it was a simple yaoi turned out to be just ...well stupid of me to not sense the word "pornograph" in the title lol |

| @Mayuka , I guess so, I don't mind though, I hope the future gets better Yuri if not I don't mind staying in the Yaoi darkness confused about my sexuality |

| I enjoy some yuri stories even though I'm not attracted to women, so I don't think it's that strange to like yaoi as a lesbian. You like what you like. |
| @shoujogod Yes I know lol , Im just incredibly biased with Yaoi don't judge me LOL @Ethereal_Vanilla can you tell me which Yuri story you enjoyed? |
| “You can spill drinks on me, even spit on me. I'll just laugh about it. But If you dare to hurt my friends... I won't forgive you!” - Shanks |
| @MugiwaraLuFFya Girl Friends, I binge read it awhile ago and loved it. Besides that most of the yuri I like is subtext. |
the point was that i don't like something that technically should lol like she said, shes lesbian, so she SHOULD like yuri, but she for some reason likes yaoi instead MugiwaraLuFFya said: @EcchiLordMamster I agree with you but I don't like that to much , if it has a great plot that happens to have ecchi in it why not even if it's a hentai with great plot also why not I was watching "sensetive pornograph" but there was no plot I felt weird afterwards I tought it was a simple yaoi turned out to be just ...well stupid of me to not sense the word "pornograph" in the title lol the plot is irrelevant lol.. what im saying is im not really aroused by hentai anime and even most hentai pictures lol |
|
| Nah man, there's nothing wrong with your situation. Maybe the reason why you like yaoi more is b/c of the way that it's portrayed? Like shonen ai tends to be way more varied than the basic high school shoujo ai relationships (which get rly boring after a while). Also yuri tends to be more "male gaze-esque" so I can see how that would be a huge turn off. |
    thanks @grimace for the jon stamp i love you |
| If I may, yaoi and yuri represents different types of relationships, yaoi presents an idealized type, whereas yuri(the soft one) is more of a subtle approach, and the hardcore is more physical. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why. (Plus seme voices are effeminate as well) |

|
| well i do have a problem with not liking girls in anime or manga who tends to be irritating and annoying, not that it happens that often. i also have a comfort for yaoi but i have never liked yuri because i really cant see things from the girls side of her love story either because they seem too femalish compared to me or something else that i might not be aware of. |

|
| Masturbate to whatever you want we ain't gonna judge, there's full grown men who jack it to animated 12 year olds here, your thing isn't that weird |
 |
| no winnie, characters from yaoi are not guys, they're hermaphrodites |
 |
| Where's the feminist? I'm on guard now... They're coming... |
EcchiLordMamster said: i love ecchi but don't really like hentai.... and definitely don't like hentai anime lol Wow really?The more you know I guess. So now now.Thing is: The target audience of yaoi->Females The target audience of yuri->Males. I don't think being gay or lesbian change this fact as we can see. |
| Because yaoi is primarily targeting a female audience while a lot of yuri is targeting a male audience There ARE yuri for lesbians/bisexual women but they're kind of hard to find since both "male lesbian manga" and "female lesbian manga" are labelled as simply "yuri" (unlike "female gay manga" and "male gay manga" which are labelled as two separate genres, yaoi and bara) which is why I prefer yaoi over yuri (I'm saying this as a bisexual woman by the way) There's nothing wrong with you preferring yaoi over yuri despite being a lesbian |

| @lady_freyja Well I am talking about today's standarts.And of course females can watch yuri too.That's why I used the word "target audience." |
| Everyone has their own likes and hates.....no one can control them...so why bother about other ppls likes/hates..just worry about yourself |
 |
| I'm gay and I really don't care for most yaoi. Then again, I don't like yuri either. |
| I'm straight and I dislike yaoi and yuri. So my tastes probably make more sense to you than your own :3 |
| First the Yuri we have in anime sucks, the only decent ones are Sasameki koto and Aoi Hana and theyre end without ending (you have to read the manga) so if you wanna truly experience Yuri you'll have to read manga. (Octave, if you want a recomendation of a good Yuri that isnt school setting) |
 |
| because most of those things are just badly written and not actually good? In general Yaoi is supposed to appeal to girls, you being gay doesn't really change the fact that they might just be more appealing to you. Maybe try out some yuri manga and see what you're opinion is afterward. I heard citrus is good. |

|
| well the reason is that the guys in yaoi act, and look, like girls. i, thank god, don't know any homosexuals in real life, but i doubt that yaoi is an acurat portrayal of gay couples. |
 |
| I face the same dilemma too, OP. I hate to say this, but I prefer Yaoi over Yuri even though I prefer girls in real life. I think it's also the fact that the Yuri genre is not as wide-ranged as Yaoi, which is a shame. Because there's such a large circle of BL enthusiasts, this means that more Yaoi mangaka and thus more "good" manga being produced. In my experience, the accessibility of Yaoi is easier than Yuri and so I have spent more of my time reading BL manga. Aside from hentai Yuri, most Yuri have the tendency of having a sweet, gentle romance between the characters. Sure I do like Yuri, but why read stories with a repetitive pattern when there is the "opposing" genre that has drama, rivaling love interests, etc. I'm not saying Yaoi has a more realistic take on homosexual relationships and Yuri isn't either. I do have a theory in why I prefer Yaoi over Yuri. It's because of the bishounen characters. At times, they tend to look feminine and I seem to have an attraction for them. I often look at them and compare them to my favourite real-life females, and I see a similarity. They're seriously questioning my sexuality all the time, it's infuriating. edit: Yuri manga that appears in some Josei magazines are quite nice, especially as it features older female characters. It's not centered in a high school, that is a plus, and their relationships are taken quite seriously - which is what some high school yuri fails to do. |

Chances are you do, but they haven't come out/are openly gay because they know you're a homophobe would feel unsafe if they did so. You're surrounded by the gay, buddy. You're gay, the trees are gay, the moon is gay. Suck it up and deal with it. |

 Maybe you're not really lesbian OP? :P |

There's no such thing, after all. Just as two positives repel, two negatives also repel. Basic laws of polarity. |
| While Yaoi is oriented for females, Yuri is oriented for males. As a female, it logical to love things oriented to females. They probably know to touch the "soft spots" of a girl, which stay the same despite their sexual orientation. By the way: There's something like yaoi but for gays. So maybe there's something like this with Yuri as well. |

| Did you try yuri manga? Sadly, there's not a lot of variety in yuri anime and alot are aimed towards men and/or only subtext, but there's much more variety in manga. Yaoi, on the other hand, has many different genres in both, so I can see how you would like yaoi anime more. Plus yaoi is usually more explicit about the fact that they are actually in a relationship and less only subtext or fan service like many yuri anime. When I run out of interesting yuri anime, I was thinking about trying some yaoi anime as well. If you want to give yuri another try though, here are some I enjoyed that broke away from the typical high school fluff romance or implied subtext or fan service: Akuma no Riddle (lesbian assassins) Blue Drop: Tenshi-tachi no Gikyoku(lesbian aliens) Kannazuki no Miko aka Destiny of the Shrine Maiden (mecha, supernatural, star-crossed lovers, etc.) Kyoushirou to Towa no Sora aka Shattered Angels (Yuri is not the main focus, but if you end up liking Kannazuki no Miko, this anime has two side characters that are basically another version of the main characters of KnM.) (Mecha, supernatural, romance, etc.) Re: Cutie Honey (Well, it does have alot of ecchi in it, but there is a romance between Honey and the cop that's a really good story.) (androids, super hero, etc.) Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito (supernatural, sci-fi, action/adventure,etc.) Yuri Kuma Arashi (lesbian bears who can turn into humans) ( It's kind of dark and depressing though and the first 3 eps just seem like fan service, but if you watch from episode 4, it becomes a romance story about a star-crossed love between one of the bears and a human.) Here's my full list here of all yuri anime where they actually kiss that has links to more info about the series I mentioned above and more: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/caninesrock?status=7&tag=kiss Hope this helps. |
