I'm not sure if these are exactly non-objectifying but I base them on the fact that both guys love and treasure each others tremendously.

I'm liking your taste but it's a hard search for manga that doesn't have at least parts of those elements tbh. your cousin isn't really wrong.
the first 4 chapters of this yaoi is pretty good with tossing aside a lot of the stereotypes of yaoi. I'm not sure I would recommend the other chapters because I haven't read them.

This next isn't light, but it's very engaging. I'm sure you're going to say, "I already know about that one." http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/geu_kkeute_issneun_geos/

Hi guys!! Ik that the request in my title seems like a lot to handle, but I really need to convince my cousin that all yaoi manga aren't bad, objectifying, with cold men and pwp (not to say that I dislike pwp, but y'know. He does.). Does anyone have a good recommendation for a shounen ai or soft-core yaoi that fits the description?
Also, one of my friends talked about a famous yaoi, which will be/has been turned into a movie, about a deaf seme and an energetic uke. If you know which one it is, please tell me the name.
