Materials and methods Participants and procedure Data collection was carried out using an online survey focusing on sexual behaviors and pornography consumption habits.
Measures Data regarding major demographic characteristics gender, age, and sexual orientation were collected. Item construction The aim of the present study was to explore the underlying motives for yaoi media consumption.
Results Descriptive statistics The majority of participants Open in a separate window. The second-order model In order to seek explanation for the high correlations among all motive factors, two higher-order factor models were also estimated: a second-order model with one second-order factor and a bi-factor model that specifies both a single common factor and nine specific factors.
The bi-factor model In addition to the second-order model, the impact of general attitude factor was estimated on each item. Fig 1. Testing measurement invariance across gender and sexual orientation Results of the measurement invariance analysis based on the bi-factor model are presented in Table 3.

My boyfriend and I are Yaoi-fans. You don't need to be gay to like Yaoi. Plenty of straight men and gay women like it. And usually for the same reason. Another reason: "Anime male characters are usually much better than the annoying female ones. Except perhaps women tend to be more into the more subtle emotional romance than just seeing people getting it on? Maybe I can try to tell them the question but my first look is for the japanese girls.
In some assay I have read that one of the reason they read yaoi is to eiminate power structure between couples of different genders and the second reason is that they are free from the dangers inherent in heterosexual sex pregnancy, family's duties, etc.
Last but not less important the fact that girls can identify with them the boys because of their feminine appearance, marked with ectomorphic bodies, huge eyes and long hair. Can this be true? And there's nothing "sick" about these relationships- love is love, right?
There's an enormous fanbase for yaoi. Obviously, you're not alone or weird. So don't worry! Just enjoy the boyporn! Also, I have guy friends who don't like yaoi, but they don't bash it like your friends do.
I like yaoi too and i'm the only one in my gang that like yaoi. I told my friend and they didn't say anything like SICK to me. I prefer it over yuri. You aren't alone as you can see. RobinFan said: its not weird. Bananaaddict said: No, it's not weird, at leat among the anime-watching community. The other stuff actually creeps me out more. AnimeMarluxia said: no, im a guy, and i get shunned for liking it, but i don,t feel its weird at all Anime Related Clubs.
Cookies help us bring you Fanpop. HoodWeeb said: Because, it's fun. Romandy said: but still Swagernator said: Romandy said: but still Seiya said: Lol, how exactly did I "destroy" your post? After careful calculations and over hours of research I may have found the answer: It is kinda cute and hot. Swagernator said: Seiya said: Lol, how exactly did I "destroy" your post? Why do females like shipping non-gay characters? I also ship most of my favorite female characters with other females who aren't even into girls.

Seiya its still new to me man i can barely breathe now, go easy on me, it's like when you learn truth about Santa Claus the whole world shattered before your eyes. It's all just a cover-up for their intense infatuation with girls, mate.
Think about it, if you're a lesbian, and into the gay, but you don't want to let other people know, BL is a lot easier to explain than GL, right? They're all a bunch of tsunderes is all :D.
It's because of the natural laws of nature. I ship anything that has chemistry and I don't care if it's straight or homosexual. However, due to the fact I tend to watch more series that are predominantly male cast I tend to ship more mlm couples than straight or wlw.
You are sexually attracted to males. Males are good. Double the males, double the good. It's not fucking hard to figure out.
As for why a lesbian likes yaoi, I don't know. I've only ever met one lesbian online. It was the verecund, dismissed creatures That I jubilated in most. This rabbit I would nurture, At the aiguille of esse, The anneal of noblesse. Swagernator said: Seiya its still new to me man i can barely breathe now, go easy on me, it's like when you learn truth about Santa Claus the whole world shattered before your eyes. It's because yaoi fangirls are cancer.
I would guess that they are sexually attracted to male characters but not female characters. So they only want to see male characters together. SkyFullOfStars said: maybe the yaoi fangirls don't really like the female character the original MC was shipped with in the show let's ignore sports anime. I'm a girl and I don't like yaoi shippings I don't even understand that logic. Mkim said: It's because of the natural laws of nature. Opfert eure Herzen. Because some pairs are just cute together, they look cute together, you like them both as characters and you like their chemistry.
Most of those couples I like are straight there are also more hints on straight pairings and some are not? Most are canon or almost canon and some are "crackships".
One reason was jealousy, like: "there is no girl in it and the female audience is more jealous of the girl", "female audience is insecure of themselves etc They are fictive.
Getting jealous of a fictive girl, because of an anime character, rly? XD Maybe if you are 14 and actually insecure, but almost every teenager on earth is insecure, think.
