Heh, well you've always struck me as the type who isn't afraid to say anything (hard to tell online, though).

I've talked to people about this before, though, and the consensus is that guys who claim to like Yuri are thought to be perverted. Every guy I've talked to has complained about this, and the (seeming) fact that they know girls who are into Yaoi--quite openly--and no one even bats an eyelash. Every girl I've talked to has claimed that it simply isn't the case :P .

Saa~

It's either gender inequality where guys are just stuck with the rap of being more sex-driven (not entirely true), or there needs to be a feminist movement in the gay community because gay males garner more acceptance than gay females, maybe?

Who knows? (I don't... Any takers?)

Before I derail any further...

Strawberry Panic was a fun anime. Very Yuri (I guess technically shoujou-ai? High school aged...), but not very sexual at all. Just a story. I don't know if it was a manga before it was an anime...

Oh I see so guys don't like to be pervs ohh well everyone knows I am anyways so no point in hiding it XDDDDDDDDDD. I never met a guy who wasn't a perv actually or maybe thats my influence but if there not pervs then there closet pervs. Girls are way pervy than guys though Hahahahahahahahaha but thats good right just look at Suki XDDDDD.

yea i thought that was weird how if most girls like yaoi shouldn't most guys like yuri but when i open a yuri thread for fun few months ago (for learning purpouses *cough*) there were like no ppl who answered lol

They just do. Everyone has different prefernces. I'm a girl and I like both, yaoi and yuri.

I don't read/look at either, but I see this trend when it comes to fanfiction as well. Pairings and such, you know ^_~ and what I notice is, girls don't have this stamp of being sexually desperate nerds who don't really get much in contact with the opposite gender. If a girl creates Yaoi or Shounen-ai, it's commonly seen (I think) as simple daydreaming or minor fantasizing. IF a girl reads Yaoi or Shounen-ai, it's basically the same thing - not so much daydreaming, but kind of like innocent fantasies.

Now, let's look at boys here. There is a bigger chance that a boy who creates Yuri is seen as someone who simply wants to make his fantasies a bit more concrete (as opposed to abstract, which is what it is when it's in the mind). Unless they're tastefully and/or skilfully made, they will - to many readers/viewers - be perceived as nothing but sexual stories written solely for the pleasure of the creator himself. NOW, if a boy reads/views Yuri, a similar case follows. It's basically like watching Hentai, or something of the sorts. There are of course exceptions and this isn't ALWAYS the case, but it may tend to be.

I'm mostly coming from fanfiction here. If I were to draw Yuri, I would make sure that it serves the overall manga that these two girls like getting it on. If it's there just to get the sexual stimuli increasing, then I may as well draw Hentai.

That's my take on it, and I think many others here who have posted their ideas may very well be correct, as well.

well males and females are about equally sex driven~
it's just that males tend to express their sexual desires a bit more...physically..and...a weee bit more aggressively than females x]

and...we as humans.....
aren't we the most ignorant of entities from time to time? ._.

i guess i can lean more towards yaoi. i think because.. hmm.. well... hmmm... i dunno the males to me are just so sensitive and caring. most yaoi is made my females for females.. i dunno.. i just like it..
