If you are a straight person do you enjoy yuri/yaoi respectively?

I think the answer will differ depending on how the person watches anime (assuming they're interested in watching romance/sexual relationships).

Some people look for shows where they can self-insert, and those are more likely to prefer something closer to their own sexuality. Some have certain gender combination fetishes they're looking to fulfill, and those are more likely to prefer shows that have their preferred gender combination.

Personally, I'm in it for the plot and characters, and I rarely self-insert. Gender combinations don't matter to me. I'm not exactly straight, and I don't have gender fetishes, but I find males are generally written better than females (in anime in general), so although shoujo-ai would be closer to my own sexuality, I enjoyed certain shounen-ai/yaoi shows better. I don't exactly go out of my way looking for them, though. I have a broad taste in anime and watch whatever looks interesting regardless of genre.

Right, anyone can score with women. But the moment when you turn a burly muscular dude into being your cock-crazed feminized sex-slave through your godly allure, that's when you become alpha among alphas.

That's the manliest description of weirdly-specific, wish-fulfillment fantasy I have ever read. I guess it's true that the peak alphas in the anime community are the unapologetic fudanshi.

Please refrain from posting thread topics which extend beyond the discussion of anime/manga as an entertainment medium to highly-debated social and/or moral issues. This includes but is not limited to: pedophilia, gender/racial equality, sexual orientation, etc.
