Recommended Posts

First time, I looked yaoi 3 years ago and it was Gravitation, I accidentally looked, becouse gravitation was on the same drive with anime the Evangelion 0o.And for some reason I liked it. Then I started reading the manga.In the beginning it was somehow strange to read manga and, I started reading fanfiction and then, I was able to read manga easily.Then so on and away we go ^__^

When I was 17 I watched Queer As Folk out of curiosity, and found out I enjoyed stories with male x male pairings...alot.

Later my lovely cousin introduced me to the popular animes like FMA, Naruto and Bleach, and as I was browsing through fanfiction and fanvids, the word 'yaoi' kept popping up, so I literally Googled "what does Yaoi mean?" I found out, and then thought 'I gotta watch some of that', and thus it began...XD

I started because one of my friends asked me if I knew what it meant, I didn't so I googled it, after that I went in search of yaoi manga, but because I was only about 14 or so and the first one I found was Crimson Spell I stopped, but then one of my other friends lent me Junjou Romantica to watch and that got me back into it (as I was about 16 1/2 by then)

I knew nothing about yaoi but I always have liked boys, so to me its perfect haha! I started with one day this person I know showed me a story of Harry Potter and in the story draco started making out with him and I was like OMG I cant believe it. Then they had sex and I was going crazy. So then I wanted to know where it came from and I started looking around and found out about yaoi. The first thing I saw of Yaoi was Sensitive Pornograph and then Junjou Romantica. I loved it so much!!

I first got into boy/boy stuff when I was 14 and obsessed with My Chemical Romance. There's a bunch of pictures of two of the members being flirty, kissing etc and, well... me gusta.

 

Then it moved onto anime stuff when I came across Gravitation (I can't remember how that happened though)

Sakura-drops : Wow, MCR yaoi eh? I'd have to look at that *.*

 

My whole yaoi obsession started because of an old friend of mine. We were in class one day (we were really young at the time XD) and she was writing something, so of course I wanted to read since I'm very curious. She warned me that I might not like it but meh, I didn't care XD And it was a yaoi original story. I didn't go further than kissing and snuggling between the main characters but I loved it so much I started writing my own stories. And then I learned about the wiiiide world of fanfictions...with all the yaoi in it. The first real yaoi fanfic I wrote was about Rurouni Kenshin which was my favorite manga at the time (and really, Saito and Kenshin went together so well that I couldn't hold back XD).

 

From then on I began watching/reading anything yaoi I could find. I never stopped since then~

Well...It was about four years ago...when Shoujo was beginning to bore the hell out of me and I wanted something different and exciting. I was on Photobucket roaming around and stumbled upon a picture of an actual "Yaoi Train". Wow was I amazed and captivated by it. So I went on MF and looked up Yaoi and viola! I stumbled upon a Yaoi manga that was so freaking explicit my young 14 yr old eyes couldn't believe it. So I wondered to myself, if there is Yaoi manga then there has to be Yaoi anime, ne? So I looked up Yaoi anime and stumbled upon Aarinfantasy Yaoi Collection and ended up watching Sensitive Pornograph, Ai No Kusabi and many others. So yea that's when I started watching Yaoi. Four years ago and counting.

My first shonen-ai was Gravitation in 2003. I got it from a friend. And than another friend had a lot of yaois. I didn't even know what yaoi is. So she copied a few of them. I think, my first yaoi wa Haru wo daite ita manga and OVA, and Fish in the Trap OVA. I didn't like them in the beginning, but when she borrowed me Bronze, my opinion changed, and I started to like yaoi.

first gay drama/movie I ever watched was QAF (Queer as folk) and that happened before I find out

about Gravitation and yaoi anime, movies and manga

In my case it started with BL movies. After seeing Takumi kun I wanted to know more about it. So I found out about manga and then about yaoi anime. My first yaoi anime was Junjou Romantica.

My bf showed me a yaoi manga, at first I didn't like it. Several month later I found out 'Tiger n Bunny' and that was when I fell in love with yaoi

Well I was 10-11 years old and we had guests.My family and the guests were sitting in the diningroom and I was soo bored and not sleepy(It was midnight tho) so I went to the livingroom and turned the TV on AXN Sci-Fi.They were showing that minianime,clips I don't know how are they called,from Animax.I was like "Yay".The anime was for vampires or something of that kind and in the end the 2 vampires boys who were fighting suddenly kisses.At first my reaction was :msn_red_fox 11 but then I realised it's kinda sMexy :3 Later I searched google with words like "anime boys kissing" or something like that and when the results loaded I was like :cuteonion41:

I started obsessing over yaoi since I bought an anime (Junjou Romantica). Luckily i watched it alone, filtering it b4 my brothers~ ^^

B4 this my genre selection would always be seinen or josei or maybe ecchi? eheh~ oh well, now, i can't watch boys walk closely side by side. if they do, i'll stalk them with mountains of pictures! am i crazy?:hamtaro-005 (5):

I was over 20, when there was an anime meet, in 2003. I was a little bit new, and I didn't know about yaoi, or shonen-ai at all. One of the girls borrowed me the anime, Gravitation, and told me, this is a great shonen-ai anime. I watched it, and I liked it first time. So this is, how it started.

At first I didn't know what was yaoi. Until last year, one of my good friends (she is a mad yaoi fan) introduced me to the world of yaoi. I hated at it first but I didn't know when around this year, I started falling in love with yaoi

Well, I guess my story is even more strange than everyone else's, but here goes.

I was just casually looking up a lady gaga video "let's play a love game", because at the time I was such a big fan. As I was searching, I found one that said "let's play a YAOI game," I had no clue what yaoi was at the time, so I clicked it and watched it. I watched it, loved it, replayed it, searched the manga in the description. Been a fan since.

I started watching yaoi in college. It was Gravitation and my roommate (who loves anime but indifferent to yaoi) had it and let me watch it. I was hooked and started to search for more yaoi or at least in the beginning shounen ai anime.

Looking back, the first time I watched yaoi was hilarious for me.

 

I was in high school. At the time, I was already interested and knew a bit about maleXmale but mostly from fanfiction (I know. I know...). I was checking on the web for anime pics when I came across a gif that has two boys "entertwined".

 

I was like :9onion70: then I looked behind me, no one was in the room aside from myself.

 

So I searched for the title of the anime the gif was derived from, looked for the video, downloaded it and watched.

 

My expressions went from rabbit16 then rabbit8 and finally :cuteonion41:

 

My first yaoi to watch was "Sensitive Pornograph"

 

Lol. :D
