    Yes, it shows sex and erotic behavior doesn't it?

    Well the definition of porn, this one is from Oxford is
    "Printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate sexual excitement."
    So yes, yaoi, yuri, and hentai can be indeed porn.
    Nothing wrong with that though.

    Hentai is nothing but porn. Yaoi and Yuri are obviously still erotica, but there is usually more substance, an attempt at an actual plot, etc...

    OMGOSH, don't know what to say. This question just popped in my head a week ago. So it really is porn.

    Idk i thought that wether it's plot driven or not determined a manga/anime's porn status. Like, if something was mainly story and had sex in it, it's not porn (like a movie with a sex scene or something, that doesn't count as porn). But that's just my opinion and everyone in this thread seems to disagree so oof lol

    It also might depend on the intent of the reader, like if you're reading it to jack off, it would count as porn for that particular person.


    (I think I'm reading too much into this goodbye)

    No, my response kinda said the same thing. Hentai is straight up porn, but yaoi and yuri with actual plots are what I would call erotica, which is not quite the same thing.
