It's been awhile since we've had one of these discussions. So I'll let it stand. Do please explain your reasons so that we can have more of a discussion.

Kradsdarkangel
I just wanted to see how many people liked yaoi and yuri mainly to see which of them is most popular is all.

Yay! happy

Well, I prefer yaoi over yuri because i think it's hotter when two guys are together droolio. Well...I guess I'd prefer yaoi over yuri...not all that sure why, but yuri doesn't seem too apealing to me, a girl.

Lana
I say both. I don't necessarily prefer one over the other.

Takiko_4ever

yup big grin

technically both are gay anime

I would watch nonhentai yaoi though (not everything about gay guys is sex related)

Yaoi is guy/guy, yuri is girl/girl. Yaoi comes from the phrase 'yama nashi, ochi nashi, ichi nashi' which more or less translates to 'no peak, no point, no problem'. Yuri originally comes from the Japanese word for lily. In the US the terms are generally only used to describe the hentai spectrum of things, though there's obviously more to it than just hentai.

You'd think so, but I'm a guy and I prefer nonexplicit yaoi to yuri. In fact, yuri doesn't interest me at all. I'm not sure why (and that isn't an invitation for anyone to speculate about my sexuality, so don't bother), but I have a simple theory. People identify with characters who are similar to them; men identify with male characters more easily, women identify with female characters. To enjoy a story, I must be able to identify with the characters, and therefore a story with an all-female cast is at a natural disadvantage.

Well, it's why I think I prefer yaoi. Since yaoi is aimed at women, I'm not sure it holds up as a general theory.

Chrnoebl
Technically is this Yaoi or just an accident?

Symmetric Chaos
not yaoi at all

unless Wrathful or Raz blocked your image with the one i see

Chrnoebl
Hey it was the picture of Naruto and Sasuke kissing.When they were in class at the beggining of the series. Was that against any rules? If so sorry angel

Symmetric Chaos
I don't think its against the rules (some one has it in a sig) but I guess you tried to hotlink it you need to use the upload button

I think i've seen that and it was accidental (unless its from some doujin)

I find it funny how the majority of people voted 'Yuri', Yaoi has 6 votes and Yuri has 1.

Lana
I don't like the poll for the sheer fact that it assumes someone likes one better than the other. I like yaoi much more than yuri when I was younger but right now, I like both equally.

I have to say I argee with you!jm wink

A bit of an odd topic, but meh. I don't really mind either so long as it fits with the character and the story but I think what's going to happen is that you'll get a majority of guy's saying they prefer Yuri and a majority of girls saying they prefer Yaoi. A generalisation I know but that doesn't make it any less true.

TricksterPriest
As far as hentai, yuri for sure. Anime and plot wise? Can't stand either of them. I find the plots to be innane, cliched and bland. Like Saiyuki or a few others.

there are some good ones like FAKE, but overall, I'm not really impressed with the genres.

StyleTime
Overall, I don't mind either one.

It's a pity the poll forces you to pick one.

yaoi is quite alright too smileOriginally posted by TricksterPriest

I also really like Gravitation's story though. smile

ninjawarrior
HMMMM.. I CHOOSE NEITHER, I'M NOT REALLY INTO GAY ANIME

midnightshadow
i love yaoi, i even see hints of it in anime and manga that arnt realy yaoi. ive never watched yuri but it hasnt realy appealed to me.
i dont know what the appeal is to either yaoi or yuri, maybe its the unconventional romance aspect. i love things like gravi and fake.
i know that its not the object of this forum but im finding it hard to find yaoi anime/manga can someone give me some titles.
