Do you hide your yaoi addiction?

[sam dong]

i hide it

[Yurusumaji]

I don't hide it. Actually, I tend to flaunt it. I'm incredibly vocal about the things I like and yaoi is often at the forefront of my thoughts, therefore I talk about it openly as if it's just a natural thing for me to like. I treat it this way, and therefore so do others. No one gives me any problems about it and no one dislikes me for it.

 

Even my husband thinks it's adorable and lets me indulge in it as much as I please. I think if you don't treat it like it's something to be ashamed of, people will react accordingly. It also depends on the people and their maturity level, though. My friends are all adults and we're all otakus and nerds. That being the case, they're more understanding of what I enjoy.

 

My mother said, "You like what you like." when I told her about it. I'm grown and I don't live within her rules anymore, so her being aware of it is something that I am indifferent to and she knows that this one aspect of me does not define me as a human being. To think so is kind of shameful, I think. So, in my little world, everyone is cool with it and generally amused by my ability to turn every conversation into a yaoi joke. Lol!

 

I even once played a prank on a heterosexual male friend of mine. :3 He made me mad, so I Googled yaoi and left 5 windows one on top of the other on his computer with a very inappropriate image in each one. LOL. He had to click 'X' on each one, so he saw them all! Despite my evil tendencies, we're still friends. I think it's important to have friends who understand and love you, no matter what you like.

I've tried, but recently one of my friends borrowed my portable hard drive to get some of the anime I have on there and she stole some of my manga too, (more than half of which is yaoi) when she gave back my hard drive she said stuff like "I thought you were innocent 0_o" and I'm just like "yeah, not really :3" she hasn't talked to me much since then -_-

One of my other friends also wants to steal my anime, but she made sure to tell me she does not want my manga XD, I thought it was funny

[cat_greenmoon]

All my friends know about my addiction. And family wise my brother knows but my mom doesn't, only really because I don't need to tell her. I don't live with her so it never gets brought up. She'd be cool with it though if I did tell her.

[Andro]

My family don't know about it. They don't prefer "gay-topic", altough, my younger-sister has a gay friend, and my mom isn't against it, as long, as she doesn't see gay people. And I don't want trouble.

[Guest FujoshiFTW]

If I was to tell either of my parents that I supported homosexuals or liked yaoi; I swear they would disown me right on the spot. They are serious homophobes and they think gays are disgusting. As for my littlle sister; she doesn't care because she's too young to know. When I say that, I don't mean she's innocent; I mean she's mentally retarded for a ten year old -.-

 

My friends are a different matter altogether. They know of my addiction and some of them are fujoshi; which I am VERY happy about.

[Beastly]

Sugoii!! :5yoyo21: U're lucky pal, surrounds by open minded people unlike me yoyo6

[Beastly]

Are u kidding me? :8onion74: Wow!!! Wish my mum stops her anti thinking of yaoi :cuteonion26:

[Sasunarufan13]

My father doesn't care about my hobbies, my sister thinks it's weird and retch worthy, some of the girls in my Japanese group love yaoi too, my friends on fanfiction I have discovered because I write yaoi so LOL

My best friend is just 'Whatever makes you happy, sweetie. Now tell me, what do you think of this dress?' XD

And my mother is okay with it In fact I made her watch Naruto and Death note and she agreed that Sasuke and Naruto are made for each other :cuteonion48:

After a bit explaining on my side she even agreed that Draco is better suited for Harry than Ginny XD

She knows I read yaoi manga, but I don't know if she knows how explicit most of them are :cuteonion50: Oh well, I'm already glad that she doesn't have any problems with it ^^

[Beastly]

Yes i hide it. Almost everyone except my mum (she found it...herself) onion8 n my brother (my mum told him) :cuteonion51: I manage keeping it secret to my dad all this years (thank god!) If he knows, i'm dead by now :cuteonion55: Only one friend sharing this secret with me (yaoi lover too) The rest? They have no my trust at all :cuteonion53:

[underthecitylights]

Just 3 of my friends, they think it's really weird and quite disgusting but just because they think yaoi is SEXSEXSEXSEXSEXSEX and more SEX between 2 boys and my family well, they just dont care about my hobbies xD

[Alicesama]

i hide it!! to everybody! nobody says that is normal but in a very much porcent of woman's who likes yaoi like me and othe secrets of the yaoi (please forgive me but my english is not very well im Chilean)

[adica]

i hide it from my parents even i am on legal age already,,, errrrr.... for some reasons i think they still treat like a kid since they know i love animes ahaha...

 

though i dont keep this side of me to my friends ahaha... and theyre fine with it.. ^^ (except to my classmates in high school... they will just tease me,,, and i cant stand most of them when they started to tease)

i also have fujoshi friends haha... we exchange files whenever we have time to see each other,, ^^

[robertita]

I hide it from my parents, from my brother and my friends. Only one friend knows about it and understand me, even she is not into yaoi. She has an open mind and I can talk about anything with her.

[Guest bygarip01]

tskler guzel paylasim olmus

[nitta]

No, i don't hide it at all. Looked likes that the people around me was so wondering and curiously bout my personality rabbit12 my characters rabbit16

[Suiseki]

nope eventually they will find out.... because I'm so obvious XDDDD (Had every yaoi stuff at the sight)

I don't know if my brother knows.... but well he doesn't tell me anything

[diniasa]

no i never try to hide it, all my family, close friends and some co workers already now :hamtaro-005 (21):

[Parafet]

Yes i hide it because if my mom ever found out i'd be dead she is a christian so she doesn't like these stuff but i have told a few friends and they are cool with i even converted some and they love it. I think my brothers and sister knows i'm not sure but everytime a topic about gays comes up they look at me and try to involve me in their convo lol :hamtaro-005 (5):

[pandicream]

Yes, Because I am from a religious family and I go to a catholic school, though it's a very progressive one and noone judges or hates gays or anyone for their life. It's just altogether a better thing not to bring it up.. everything not generally accepted we just don't talk about. (My Mom likes yaoi too she started in secondary school, so I have a veteran with me but she also hides it from our church and friends/family)

[RedxBlue]

My mum, my brother, my whole class and even my teacher knows I like yaoi since I talk about it 24/7 x3

They don't care though so it's ok

[NotNiceNerd]

My sister and I are pretty addicted to yaoi, so we often discuss and talk about it with each other. Then I have a friend who I think has been quite obsessed with yaoi too, but I guess she has "gotten over" her obsession XD But well, she knows.

And... I think a few other friends of mine know about me reading yaoi, but I'm not sure :b

But other than that, I definitely keep it a secret. I don't think my parents would approve, and the rest of my family might just see me as a weirder weirdo than I already am XD The same goes for my friends who don't know the wonderful existence of yaoi B]

[zita3000]

Aha, this is a good question.

My close friends know, and so does my brother.

My parents don't though, but I wouldn't really mind telling them. They know I support LBGT and go to PRIDE parades.

I'm not afraid to admit my love for yaoi.

[chiru0603]

My whole class knows me and my friends love for yaoi, we never hide it and they are ok with it, my parents don't know but i think they got a huge hint when i won a dakimura pillow of two dudes at a yaoi con later on. Bro knows and just lets me be.

[moidixmois]

Never. It's something I love so much that hiding is not an option.
