I think you're mostly addressing appropriateness and taking issue with the Seme/Uke tropes. Minors reading BL: No, it is totally normal to be interested in sex and human bodies from a young age. Reading erotica is the safest way to indulge in and express an interest in sex. The problems occur when it's a child's ONLY sex education. BL is a bad wa......   reply

I can somewhat relate to this. I started reading BL around age 13-14 and my first was Loveless. While it's a Shounen-ai, the sort-of couple is between a 12-year-old and 20-year-old and in my early teens I shipped them HARD. To my early teen mind, the idea of being with someone who was 20 didn't FEEL like a big deal. But after I turned 20, the idea......   1 reply

Tale of the Yellow Dragon. My emotions were very heightened at the end because WOW what a love story, then for just one moment you think it's going to be sad ending and I choked up, but it actually ends happily and my brain short-circuited and left me BAWLING. It was confusing but I liked it. I need to reread it.   reply

Am I the only one suspecting that your mother saw but doesn't care?   2 reply

Heyyyyy. I have lesbian mothers! But there was no divorce involved. They had me together and I have a sperm donor. The thing about having queer parents is that aside from going to Gay Pride parades, learning lots of queer history, and knowing all your queer references, it's not that different than being raised by anyone else. Even as an adult, wh......   reply

I'm getting several questions from this: Should straight people write queer pornography? Porn is supposed to be a fantasy, so, why not? It's not supposed to be accurate. But I feel like what you're asking is more about making ethical porn, which feels like a related but adjacent topic. It depends on what you want out of your porn, because I think ......   1 reply

Overall Most Fucked: Killing Stalking Most Fucked that I've Actually Liked: Gintama DJ -Mienai Kusari (embarrassed to admit) Wasn't THAT Bad Until The End then got FUCKED: Sadistic Boy (legit gave me the creeps mostly because I wasn't expecting it)   1 reply

There are multiple types of attraction: platonic, familial, sensual, romantic, sexual, etc. It's normal to experiences different types and strengths of attraction to people across the gender and sex spectrum. It sounds like you're describing sexual (but not romantic attraction) to women and romantic (but not sexual attraction) to men. Does that m......   reply

My BL love affair has happened in two distinct phases. As a teenager, technically my first was Loveless, which is really more shounen-ai than yaoi. For whatever reason, teenage me decided I should only watch BL anime instead of reading manga. As everyone knows, BL anime in short supply so once I watched everything, my interest faded. I think I at......   reply

My moms are lesbians and queer media has always been part of our lives. We've watched stuff like Queer as Folk, Pose, and Tales of the City together so it's not the gay stuff that would scandalize them. (If anyone wants to see some legit good and relatively accurate portrayals of gay life, those three shows are fantastic.) Mostly, I keep my passio......   reply

There are quite a few in the current Top 10 that I do really love (BJ Alex, Painter of the Night, Cherry Blossoms After Winter, Love Shuttle, On or Off). BUT if you're looking for ones that are recommended less: -Public Sex (only 11 chapters and every twist left me gasping - HIGHLY recommend) -Junai Drop Out (perfect combo of wholesome and smut) -......   1 reply

I have one! A Re-encounter and Switch Story. Two friends who started having sex in high school but were never an official couple. The Uke developed feelings, but their friendship fizzled after the Seme said something off-handed about them being "just friends" and it killed the Uke's confidence to ask for more. They grow apart, but meet again as a......   reply

Well, the good thing about reading is that if you find anything that's too intense for you, you can just close it. I started reading BL at 13 and always had a taste for smut, so ya know. There's nothing wrong or inappropriate about being interested in sex and human bodies. However, when I go back and reread or rewatch stuff I liked from that era,......   reply

It started as a joke. My partner liked twisting both nipples toward the center to get both into his mouth, then he angled one tit up to me and challenged me to lick it. We were both slightly horrified to learn I could actually do this, then we proceeded to laugh our asses off. 'Twas a good night.   reply

God, so many: 1. Ten Count: Would love to see Kurose and Shirotani take the beginning of their D/s relationship further into a total 24/7 or TPE like the ending implied they were starting to explore. 2. BJ Alex: I will remain cautiously optimistic we haven't seen the end of this series, but I want to see them transition from college into adulthoo......   reply
