I read yaoi but the sex scenes dont arouse me or anything-often I skip them, or skim them,...

depends on the mood/story/how much i love the characters for me
if im completely whipped and i love the characters then the sex scenes (usually the first time they have sex is the most special in my opinion) will most likely do something to me but if im not into the characters and the story is just meh then ill just look at the art like you said
if its a story with a lot of sex already ill probably start being indifferent as well
but im also pretty hard to ¨please¨ like it takes a lot for me to get turned on or smth so idrk how it works with other people ╥﹏╥

Literally me

Depends.
If I love the charcaters , id hate the sex scenes as its like looking at your friends... doing it. Just plain weird.

If the story is meh and the scnes are meh, id skip, i usually skip for ones with decent or meh plots.

If the story is non existent and the scenes are wild then id read it properly.

omggg so interesting im quite the opposite if i love the characters but i can understand your point of view!!

Why read yaoi just to be arouse?
I read lot's of yaoi they gave me a lot of emotion sometime I grinning or giggling while reading the panel with the sex scene. Some yaoi sex scene has meaning some don't have.

I mean, I dont read yaoi to be aroused. But inherently, Yaoi is sexual, its different to reading shounen ai for example. I do agree with the idea that some sex scenes have meaning, but the majority of yaoi is smut-centric.

Well it's for the fans I guessed . For me if I'm reading comics with just sex and the story is just meh I still give a try to read but yeah I just skip that part I think because some of the sex scene are exaggerated and I dropped many manga/manhwa because of that.
