what was your reaction when you first saw yaoi?

[Yandere_Luv_011]

This might sound crazy, but I was introduced to Yaoi because my mom and me were watching Gravitation together (we watched it all the way through btw). She's the one who suggested that we watch it, and I genuinely enjoyed it.

 

But then awhile later, I realized what Yaoi was and almost freaked. But not because it was BL, I was fine with that. It was because my mom's so awesome that we can watch that kinda stuff together and not be weird-ed out from it.

 

Nowadays though, I try to keep my mom out of watching Yaoi with me as the last time I tried to she was freaking out as there was *drumroll* SEX. Yeah, I was watching a Harcdore Yaoi and didn't know it! (I did only watch the first 2 episodes though so I guess it was technically my fault)

 

So....Yeah, my first reaction was enjoyment as I watched it with my mom at the time and I didn't feel weird about it. Oh, and did I say I was 13 at the time???

I was like 14 years old when I first discovered the world of BL (wrote this in my diary btw)... It all started with "curiosity killed the cat".. I was super bored with reading shoujo manga in my local manga site. Then, when I came across the manga genre list, I clicked each genre and read a preview of each. And I started with the bottom of the list, where usually Yuri and Yaoi actually sits. Both my eyes, mouth and soul were wide open at the sight of the front covers... Then I read the content, I became very dizzy cheetah16 ... but I like forbidden love so I got used to it^^ and actually came to like it hehe

My first time seeing something associated with yaoi which was a magazine advertising a bl novel I believe I wasn't too interested mostly because the art was unpleasant to me, then Mirage of Blaze came along and changed my life forever lmao :Playful:

I was still new to the anime and manga scene so I was looking for anything I could watch on tv, MoB came on and the whole time it was just the two main male characters and I kept waiting for a girl as the love interest to show up and the only one that did was already in love with someone else so I was like "okay I guess there's no romance?" then a semi-rape scene came up and I legit felt like I lost my mind! @_@ My eyes popped outta my head and my jaw dropped to the floor, it was late at night and I couldn't scream or say any of the loud thoughts inside my head and couldn't sleep the whole night because it was constantly on my mind, I was seriously freaked out and couldn't wrap my mind around what happened no matter how many times I re-watched it lol then I talked to my cousin about it and she explained what 'gay' meant(which I didn't know either because I lived a pretty sheltered life) and after that I wanted to see and learn everything associated with yaoi and instantly got addicted and here I am today! Mwuahahahahahaha!! :Hot:

I guess what I got from my first experience was even though I was shocked beyond belief I found myself smiling and always wanting to watch that scene every time the episode came on, I never knew why and even now I'm wondering if it was just curiosity or the fact that somewhere inside me I liked what I saw even though I didn't know what was going on lmao Needless to say I was thrusted into the yaoi world and didn't mind or fight my plunge on the way in xD I dn't regret it for a second though lmao :In love:

[melika]

When I saw yaoi first time I got angry and said God! it's crazy! such people lost their head! and promised myself that I won't see yaoi anymore but I saw love stage's trailer and I decide to only watch this and every time I still tell myself it's last one I watch but every time I find another trailer and decide to watch next one too.:leaf5:

[Caru]

My reaction:

 

 

 

[Loliderella]

I don't really like yaoi back then~ I used to think that if I read or watch one, people will think of me as a perverted person~ Then one of my senpai back in senior high nagged at me to watch one before jumping to such conclusions. Lo and behold, I was totally like this when I heed that unsolicited advice and watched my first yaoi anime:

 

 

It was such an eye opener! I felt like my heart has found its missing piece~~~ XDDDD I even tried to introduce it to my cousin when she caught me watching it~ xD Sadly I wasn't able to convince her. But whatever~ I don't care what other people think of me now~ xD Some people that I know scorns at me because I embraced the idea and admits to being a fujoshi (in public too, whenever someone asks me about it)~ onion0 I even got this set of fujoshi sticker for my line account~~~~ xDDDDDD

 

 

Still, I cannot stand mpreg stories up to date~ ;A;

[Yoshiyuki]

Well...for me was like "what the f**ck I'm seeing here?" O_O

 

It was because my 1st yaoi was:

 

 

Sensitive Pornograph [lol~]

 

I just found it in a randon hentai site haha

 

 

 

After it I just back to see yaoi when I found JR ._.

And in this second time was like "OMG...That's so..so...so...GOOD ..Time to search for more Yaois ~\o/~"

[ACuckoo]

My first hardcore yaoi was Sensitive Pornograph and I think my reaction was "oh... Oh ho ho yes this is good." hah! Gravitation is also one my first BL stories and I just fell in love with it. It's still one of my favorites to this day. And I prefer the anime to the manga which is a rare thing!

[Lonenxiti]

It was weird at first, but then i got addicted to it ^^

[iiieyes]

Sensitive Pornograph was my first hardcore yaoi experience and tbh it was what put me off from yaoi initially. I think the shota undertones? shota still skives me out ( ຈ ﹏ ຈ ) ((EDIT: I JUST LOOKED UP THE SYNOPSIS AND HOLYHECK I FORGOT EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS W/ THE RABBIT-MAN AND... YEAH. And it doesn't help that the other anime that introduced me to Yaoi was Papa to Kiss in The Dark. ARGH ))

 

I was first introduced to BL when I was 10/11 years old and began watching Naruto. I came across someone's SasuNaru AMV LOLOLOL :Jumping around:

It was the first time I was really introduced to the concept of gay romance let alone any hardcore stuff. TBH I only recently got into shonen-ai AT ALL! I only ever read/watch hardcore stuff until like a month ago (I'm 22).

[Xiaomu]

I was kinda in between, I wasn't shocked and I didn't know whether I liked it :/. Was that odd?

[rainy-miracle]

To be honest, I can`t remember neither my reaction nor what my first yaoi was.

I just know that I completely switched to yaoi soon after^^

[NANA9353]

i first start watching yaoi anime and you know anime are really soft, you basically can't see anything lol and so " Damn!!! this is sooooooo cute, i love it!"

 

 

And then, once i had watched all the anime who was out at this time and because i was really starting to get addict to it i try to read a mangas. Unortunatly i fall on a very harcore one and so..." °_° "

 

But well now i m so happy i try it again later because i love it so much, i can't just imagine my life without yaoi anymore. I had fallen for the dark side XD

[lenalis]

I was like "Holy damn! What did I click on?" I was reading so many shoujo mangas and got bored, then thought of what other genres has to offer and therefore saw a picture with two guys doing it. Went back to reading shoujos again, but eventually went back to yaoi. First yaoi manga that I read was from Minami Haruka and that got me transitioning over to the genre.

[Toofan]

Because I had started with mangas , I found the animation compared to the mangas dull.

[Choco Berry]

My reaction? Hmm. I got confused. Ofc, I got confused because I grew up in a strict household and whatnot and here are my thoughts in my first encounter with yaoi.

-How the f is that possible?! But that's bad! They shouldn't be doing that!

-Oh no... -clicks on more related yaoi amvs- hey they look kinda hot...

-looks around and behind me- this is very bad. If mom finds out... -clicks on more yaoi-

-help. I'm hooked.

-13 years after yaoi and I'm still deeply hooked. -u-)/

[Riki]

I don't remember

[orangevoldemort]

My reaction was 'Two men? Thats Impossible' lmao I soon found out... . .

[Boboya]

I absolutely forgot even when was the first time I got into it, the only thing I remember is thinking how beautiful was a drawing one of my classmate did. She was Japanese and amazing in drawing manga, she made a drawing once of boys kissing and it was so beautiful that I started asking questions and she lent me her Yaoi mangas.

[matchalatte]

first time reading BL : "What is this? WHAT IS THIS?! THIS IS SO WRONG! My eyes! My EYEEESSS!!"

 

6 months later, watching anime with BL hints : "THIS IS PERFECTION! Why is this is not canon? WHYYYY??!!"

 

Oh, my old self...:cuteonion44:

[Riri]

I was like ohh. I was 12 at the time when I discovered clips of Junjou romantica. I didn't get a lot of it when I first watched it. xD But I liked how it made me feel. A few years later I was rolling from watching the same clips again. I got the jokes and innuendos. Now yaoi is the only romance genre I watch or read.

[Rebel Heart]

My first time was in the bookstore

 

I was really em brassed as I was in the book store and I really wanted to buy the manga XD But I final managed to get enough courage to do it. Then there was this nice lady looking at me and said, your the first boy i ever saw buying these. I think I must have been so red hahahaha

 

Now I just buy them all the time but yeah the first one is a memorable one. Still got it in my bookcase

[Blue Moon.]

My brain exploded.

[18thesadist]

I liked it. and I immediately searched for what is the name of this genre and started reading yaoi mangas.

[trishaotaku]

I liked it. and I immediately searched for what is the name of this genre and started reading yaoi mangas.

 

Same here hahaha. I searched for more right off the bat XD
