NAYRT There's a lot of yaoi manga out there that's pretty pornographic, but not all manga featuring m/m relationships is like that. A good chunk of it is pretty PG, though I've seen people refer to the tamer stuff as BL and the harder stuff as yaoi. A guy who's into the genre may just love reading about the relationships and analyzing the subtext or they may just be into it for the porn because it's hot. Or maybe they're into both.

NAYRT but I think that's maybe a big point here. A lot of BL isn't pornographic at all and doesn't go beyond kissing. So essentially, what it is is a love story told in a stereotypically "feminine" way (as they are usually written by women, for women). I'm guessing a lot of these guys are just interested in this type of romance story, with all of its romantic tropes and such. Not a lot of romance is targeted toward men in general, and there could just be a lot of guys who genuinely like that stuff, and maybe for some reason the BL stuff resonates more than the shoujo romance.
