I'm gonnaassume so since most the guys gowith yuri and the females go with yaoi.
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.

Yay! 😊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.
Not that i hate Yuri its just i like yaoi more its like guys like yuri and girl like the yaoi kinda weird but both are good 🙂
