    Well, if i had to choose, i actually wouldn't be able to..I like both Yaoi and Yuri i guess. Although Yuri is a bit cooler, we have both of 'em anyways, that's the way God wanted it.....

    I will go with you KaYasha. I like Yaoi a lot more than I like Yuri. Why do you think I read Gravitation? :D

    TBH, I'm not a big fan of either. I don't mind them, on occasion, and if they're done well. Obviously, being a straight male, yaoi is a bit weird for me, but again, if it's well written (and not too serious) I don't mind it. Yuri, well, it's nothing all that special to me either. It can be interesting, but again, it's not really anything special. If it's tastefully written, it's okay. I guess I just prefer plain ol' heterosexuality.

    [EDIT] If I had to choose one of the two, I'd say yuri. Two girls beat two men, in my books. :p

    i voted for YAOI but.. maybe im old fashined or something, but stuff like Gravi which gets called yaoi here, i think of that as boyslove (BL). YAOI just has the wrong conotation to me. But thats just my opinion, i think it depends where you are coming from.

    Ive never seen any Yuri., unless you count the little scenes you get in a lot of mainstream anime, like Mai HiME, where notheing EXACTLY happens ^_- but you get an idea. I notice they do that with BL scences too, like that girls fantasy about Akira and Takumi, and the scene with Takumi and that sensei guy who wants to paint him. Its done a lot in fantasy scenes and "accidents". I think its cute and funny, i th ink thats all its meant to be.

    I prefer yuri. But I don't mind if yaoi is not the main stuff.

    Anyway, I prefer hetero

    Maybe it's because you are a guy, Kaiyon. None of my guy friends like reading yaoi either. Wahhh! :( They say I'm weird for it. :mad:

    I like Yaoi better than Yuri. Sometimes it depends what gender you are.

    *points at her name* Though I like both yaoi and yuri(well, mainly shoujo-ai...) I like yaoi better, mainly because my favorite pairing is yaoi. ^^

    This might surprise a lot of people familiar with my posting history but...I actually like them just the same. However, it seems like I've found more male/male couples I've liked than female/female, if that makes any sense!

    Though I think for me shounen and shoujo-ai are more appropriate terms for what I prefer to read and watch than yaoi and yuri. I'm more inteterested in the characters and their relationships, and I tend not to read much fic that goes beyond PG-13 in sex content. Same with violence. Just not something I like to stare at in mass quantities.

    As for hetero couples? No problems. If I like the characters and the couple I'll like them no mater what combination they come in.

    (the author of an honest-to-gosh Hanagata/Bloodberry fic and yes I love this couple)

    I like them both the same, it just depends on the storyline and the characters. So I go for both.
