    lol feel free to clown on me for not knowing wth is in magazines

    Chocopops September 7, 2024 3:34 am

    It's the publisher's magazine. It basically has the new chapters of the ongoing series' they're in charge of. So if It's made every week, then it'll have all the stories that are updated weekly and so on

    Ok thx i was thinking that was how they worked but I wasn’t sure bc some are so big! Lol

Does anyone know of any yuri MANGA not manhwa that has sex in it and isn’t just a bunch of hand holding sessions

Lashes August 30, 2024 3:13 am

Anybody know of any uses on hoe/sluttyy activities, or even just an experienced uke not in a depressing way if ykyk but rn I don’t want no innocent sweetheart I want a SMEXXY experienced uke

Lashes August 26, 2024 7:38 pm

I want some good yaoi/bl MANGA recs not manhwa i just want to read more of the manga type bc im always reading manhwa. Idc what genre/subgenre they are just any that yall think is worth reading. If i had to single out something i DONT want its something sad

Lashes August 26, 2024 5:25 pm

I always hear that “Yaoi fetishizes male gay relationships” and “shonen ai” or stuff without sex in it is the true gay “experience” so can i get some Yaoi that ACTUALLY fetishizes them bc most of the yaoi I SEE doesnt have that. Other than random strictly porn doujins i come across. Not trying to sound combative or rude i just wanna know what yall consider fetishizing bc i feel like the term is lost

    https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/royal_servant/ Been a long time since I read this but if I remember correctly the power imbalance between them made me go “this just feels like someone’s kink”

    And you’re so right about the term being lost

    I havent read it honestly so i wouldn’t know LOL but i usually throw the term away unless its actually visibly “fetishizing” lol im not trying to be “political” or argue just to argue once again . i just feel like i never see it, and i dont think a power imbalance between characters makes it a kink or fetish :/. Also a kink isnt the same as a fetish.

    Han August 26, 2024 5:41 pm

    As a heads up, I am speaking from the perspective of a women. I am not trying to speak for gay male identifying people and these are just my opinions.
    I can't think of any BL off the top of my head, but I would say anything that promotes gay relationship stereotypes is harmful and fetishizing. Examples of this would be enforcing extreme gender roles, character saying he's not gay but just like him, age gaps that make no sense with the story, ect.

    Lashes August 26, 2024 5:54 pm

    Yeah i think the “straight men” having sex with them and then saying they dont like them is really weird and probably the closest to it but i dont understand the age gap thing? And im a bi woman as well lol. I also dont know about the gender role thing i feel like the extreme gender roles are not that bad as long as it’s not painting it in a bad light. Although i still dont care for the trope that much. Also stereotypes dont seem to be fetishizing more like someone writing about something that they dont know too much about lol but these are all just my personal opinions

    buttcruncher August 26, 2024 6:22 pm

    i think a lot of it depends on the intent of the reader and writer? if they produce or consume bl, but have reductive views on gay ppl, i'd consider that fetishist.

    i honestly don't think bl content is that different from romance in general. i haven't read anything from booktok but i did have to suffer thru an era where twilight and 50 shades of grey were A Thing and shitty dark romance with power imbalance has always been popular.

    buttcruncher August 26, 2024 6:27 pm

    it's also ironic that the same ppl making accusations think the presence or absence of explicit scenes validates or invalidates the gay experience?

    Thank you for sharing you opinions. I probably didn't explain well. I 100% agree that stereotypes can be a lack of knowledge. In other cases, it can be purposely adding an element that people fetishize about. A non-BL example would be that blonde girls are dumb. Now, if the story involves the blonde girl doing sexual things with the air of ignorance, I believe that readers seeking that would be fetishizing the blonde girl stereotype. It really depends on the reader.
    With the gender roles and age, it depends how the author portrays it and the reader interprets it. With age, I find it is more common than straight romances to have a large age gap with a younger male. I believe this is due to the stereotype that many gay men have their first romance with a guy that is much older than them.
    With gender roles, it becomes a problem when the author uses specific traits to "identify" a gay man. I guess it fetishizes the "gay experience." Less of a sexual fetish and more of an obsession fetish (Non-sexual fetish description: to consider something or someone important, interesting, or attractive to an unreasonable degree)

    Han August 26, 2024 6:30 pm

    Either way, I don't care what people read. I think fetishes are fine and cool as long as nobody is getting hurt. :)

    I agree but ive actually met multiple gay men who have lost and regularly have sex with older men lol im not saying its everyone or that its a good stereo type but its a stereotype for a reason lol i was actually pretty suprised when those people told me that awhile ago bc i didnt even know that the stereotype was a thing. But yeah i dont really care that much as long as people dont get hurt. But i just felt like ranting a little bc it was on my mind :)

    Fr! Some people seem to get really mad when they see that the yaoi/ bl content has sex in it? Like sex is a thing and part of any relationship period (unless your ace/ dont do it) Why do they feel like if its shown that its suddenly not the “gay experience” like if anything i feel like the sex thats implied/ shown is good representation bc i mean it’s GAY SEX lmao and im totally fine with shows that dont have sex. Its just that people seem to be lowkey scared of gay sex being shown or even implied which is ironic

    Sometimes I really wonder why they throw the term fetishizing around so much. Like does having sex scenes = fetishizing in their minds? Because I promise you gay men are also having sex. I hate when I see the term thrown around for anyone that likes non squeaky clean BL

    Also I think the fetishizing thing is a non-issue. Men oppress women so much irl (see the recent news on South Korea, India, Afghanistan, etc). So why can’t a girl just enjoy seeing two fictional guys go at it. Doesn’t harm anyone

Lashes August 24, 2024 2:23 am

Y’all is ten count worth reading lol i hear about it a lot is that for a good reason or a bad reason that i hear about it so much. Don’t spoil pls

    Xai August 24, 2024 4:41 am

    Ten Count by Takarai Rihito, right? It's...okay, but some people don't like it bc someone can argue that the top takes advantage of his position and all the issues that come with that.

    Hopefully I didn't spoil it for you! I liked her other works and was excited to read this one (esp bc I like her art) but in the end, I thought it was pretty mid.

    Hope this helps!

    Lashes August 24, 2024 6:59 am

    Ok thx I’ll check out her other works too

Lashes August 23, 2024 1:18 am

Has anyone ever sent a nude and felt guilty about it. Not specifically for religious reasons you just felt uneasy about it and distrustful of who you sent it to? And how did you get over that guilt/anxiety

    fushiguro99 August 23, 2024 1:55 am

    first things first, can your identity be recognized from it (does it have your face or some mark/tattoo?) If it can then if the person does something with it (shares it etc), you can report it to the police or there’s specific sites online for sexual images that’ll help take it down. I hope you’re not a minor because then it is much more severe and the police will handle it.

    secondly, if it’s just an uncomfortable feeling, I’ve experienced that too in the past and it goes away with time but with also reminding yourself to trust this person you sent it to. Remind yourself that your body is beautiful, and the other person is appreciating it, admiring it, etc keep your thoughts positive. And with time they’ll eventually forget about the image. and so will you. don’t feel guilty we’ve all done it at some point

    lol im not a minor but thx and i only did it bc he kept begging and i felt bad in the moment and now i realize i was being a huge dumbass haha

Lashes August 23, 2024 1:15 am

Ik this is a very random topic to be talking about on a website like this, but I seen someone saying that self harm isnt relevant any more and is just for emo kids/edgy kids or that it’s old news and it just made me curious what people still have to say about it. So what do y’all think?

Lashes August 4, 2024 8:55 am

OK SO I’ve been reading the pearl boy side stories and I’ve read all the most recent ones and I feel like side stories are just a mess (not that the main stories perfect) like there’s dooshik struggling with how to deal with jooha and jooha still dealing with things but also dooshiks character is really taking a hard hit not saying that his character was perfect or “a green flag” I’ve seen ppl defending him in the most recent chapters saying it’s actually deeper than that ect, but even if we ignore what dooshik has recently done, the side stories just seem all over the place like there’s this new random girl and jooha being lowkey horny all the time plus he doesn’t even know about his mom, and it’s not new seeing him being all shy around dooshik bc he was always shy at the beginning of the story a still was even at the end, but it just feels weird, I don’t know what direction the author is taking bc it doesn’t really seem like there’s one atm I’m actually pretty dissapointed in the side stories like I said they seem sporadic and the more the side stories go on the less I wanna know. It’s like everyone wanted a wholesome ending of Jooha and dooshiks new life but we all just get water boarded in ice water.
Ahh I could say more but I’m just yapping dont take me too seriously
