My younger sister is way into the boy-on-boy romance thing, lol [MENTION=24036]Ibex[/MENTION] refers to her as a "Yaoi fangirl". She can't really articulate what draws her to it.
I'm just kind of curious about why so many women find this erotic. I could see if it was just video, they might enjoy looking at hot guys, but the books are a big attraction too.
Yaoi fangirls have been asked about it many times on sites like Myanimelist.
And a few of them have some alright answers.
They think it's adorable, it's sexier to watch 2 guys kiss than a straight couple. A gay couple in anime tends to be portayed much cuter and hotter than a straight couple is.
Unrealistic portrayal probably
If you want to watch some yaoi to check what I mean, watch "World's Greatest First Love".
It's my favorite yaoi anime. The couple Shouta and Kou is my favorite couple. Kou is so damn dreamy xD
