    Or are the Yaoi and Shounen-ai animes and mangas more interesting than the Yuri? Of what little Yuri manga and anime i have found, I thought it was really boring, but the Yaoi animes I have found were so much better.

    Anyone else agree or disagree?

    Agreed! Well, I might agree with that because im gay, but I've only watched a very small amount of Yuri...and I've noticed the storylines aren't as...erm... exciting as others. This might have to do with the fact that most of Yaoi is written by AND for straight women. Which, in general means, they have a better mentality of the subject.

    I disagree, all the yaoi I've ever seen can be split into three categories - two dickgirls hugging and kissing but hardly sexing, a muscular guy manipulating a more feminine guy, and two extremely bearish men in sports uniforms. Of the little yuri I've seen, I' ve seen way more tentacles and rape and guro and scat and monstrous futa that should not fit and monsters and vore and shitting dick nipples than I ever have in yaoi. Even if I'm not attracted to it, demon orgies are way more fun to watch than two video game characters grinding each other.

    No, trust me, I know the differences. And I know what I've seen. And that it cannot be unseen.

    That's not to say that yaoi hasn't had its weird moments either. Do I need to post goosh goosh?

    They're both porn, does it really matter what the hell is going on in the story?

    From what I've seen Yaoi is much more popular than Yuri, so in my opinion the storylines are better in Yaoi because due to it being so popular many different ideas have been used and therefore it would be slighty more developed than Yuri. That dosn't mean Yuriv dosn't have good stroy lines, they are just less common than in Yaoi, in my opinion

    Yaoi, as in Junjo Romantica and Fake.

    You ARE referring to Hentai Yaoi. There are different levels of "intensity" i guess you could say. From Shounen-ai like Gakuen Heaven to the porn you are referring to.
