Heyy, I'm 17 and I discovered bl when I was 11. It started with some kuroko no basket yaoi fanart (my first gay ship ever was Aomine x Kise btw (⌒▽⌒) I still love them). I was just googling Kuroko no basket then I saw "yaoi" in the suggestion and I was curious since I didn't know what it was and 0_0. But it didn't repulse me and as you can guess, I quickly became addicted haha. Then I thought that I should start watching bl because just looking at fanart wasn't enough lol.
So my first bl ever was Gravitation, the anime not the manga (do ppl still remember that manga xd?), then Junjou Romantica but I was feeling a little uncomfortable while watching the first episode because, ya know xd. However now I'm totally fine with those scene hehe (actually, I'm too confortable with sex scene now, it scares me lmaoo, like I can accept anything haha). However I can't remember my first bl manga but I think it was a classic one fore sure.
When I see ppl say their first bl was for example love is an illusion or something more "recent", I feel old because all of my first were old one haha.
oof, I wrote too much, hope ya all have good day (=・ω・=)
Lol yes. I've always been mature for my age, even when I was a kid. So most of the media I watched and read was about 18+ (mainly violence, but not really nudity). So it might sound weird for most. XD
Oh, that's very interesting actually! Happy he got you into it! Also, hi back!
Oh I feel that same. Especially on the sex scenes bit. Most of the female friends I have that like yaoi sexual scenes gush over them to a point it makes me feel uncomfortable, even I feel bad for characters with how the girls lust after em, haha.
Hiya! And I understand the feeling. Up to this day Junjou Romantica is one of my first and foremost favorite BL anime.
Thank you for answering, even if you were bored out of your mind xD I hope you fun answering this question at least!
I've never read K-pop fanfic. Idk I feel weird shipping real people together, unless is canon . But if it's something you enjoy, I'm happy you like it! People work hard on making em! XD
Lol!

Welcome to the cult xD we have cookies
Well nice to meet you! I understand, I only recently came out to my father about me being gay, along with having a girlfriend for nearly 8 years. I refuse to talk about it, hates it went l bring it up.
Stay strong thought, ok? You love who you love and no one can take that from you! Thanks for answering my post too!
Nice to meet you as well! And I can relate. It's a norm with see in media, depiction of love only through a relationship between a cis male and female. Not that I hate straight people or anything lol, but honestly I just can't find myself watching and enjoy it.
Just like you, LGBTQ based stories are more compelling and shows hardships straight relationships never tackle.
Anyway, thank you for answering my question!
I'm glad you enjoy the genre so much! Also thank you for answering my question! Nice to meet ya!
Ah, I remember Royal Fiance! I was one of the first ones I read on this site too. Or I think it was in the first year I was on the site? Can't remember lol.

And I don't wrong you for not reading killing stalking. I was tasked to do a review of it, so I had to power through it like a champ! XD and I get the heartstrings portion. I've only ever read 4 manga in my life time that almost made me cry. And I NEVER cry for anything! XD
Glad you like it tho!
Also thank you for answering my question!
Well I'm glad you're having a good time reading them! Thanks for answering my question! It was nice meeting you!
Well, welcome to the BL cult! We have cookies! And I'm glad you like it so much! Hope you find some great ones along the way!
Thanks for answering my question! It was nice meeting you!
Lol FYI I do still remember the Gravitation manga....it's just been in my "must read" list for the last 6 years. I'll get to it I swear. And I understand the "recent" first manga for people too. My first BL anime, was literally the first ever BL anime. Most people haven't even watched those yet, nor read the manga.lol
It was nice meeting you and thanks for answering my question!
Hello! I'm here to ask, just how old or young are the people in the BL manga community. I myself am 20 years old, and have been reading BL since I was 7-8. I was never the hyper type to gush over the cuteness and being a lesbian I've mostly skip the sex scenes. I'm in it for the story.
So, please. Could you comment how old you are currently and age you started reading BL? And what was it like when you found out about BL in general?
You can also mention your gender, sex, sexual orientation too if you wanna.
P.S. I'm mainly doing this, well, because I was just curious if I'm the only one that reads BL like this.
Much thanks! Have a good day/afternoon/night!
