♥ It's nice to know there's someone else that feels that way out there, it makes me feel a little less weird. ^_^ Yeah, I won't say I haven't looked at real-person pr0n (though mostly still pics) but mostly, I've done so to make sure I'm not making the Yaoi Fanbrat Errors (e.g. as a sort of "in-progress" anatomy thing), and I'm going to be taking a class in human sexuality this year (so I expect to see much more) but as for getting me hot/making me go "yes, this is niiice" it's definitely the art/writing because there's no guilt there, no "is someone being objectified," and if I've chosen wrong and someone or something *is,* I can snark on the weepy uke/make a meta post/whatever rather than just sigh sadly and wonder about that poor person and whether he really enjoys having sex on film or not.

18s OP here

Yeah, I think the fake aspect is also another reason why I don't like it too. Also, I live in a city with a very large gay community and I have to say, a lot of the relationship aspect is marketed towards one-night-stand sort of things, which really turns me off. I like to see the development of love, not sex between two people who just want to go through the motions. Which is why most yaoi mangas appeal to me- they portray heartfelt stories of men falling in love (i'm a big romantic at heart if that wasn't obvious already ahaha). Of course there are the smut for smut's sake ones too, or the yucky ones with rape. I especially hate the non-consensual ones where the ukes are screaming 'no' or 'stop' over and over again. It's just disturbing and not sexy at all. :/

Oh WORD. Absolutely agreed on everything. My two OTPs are of sworn-friend who could be lovers couples (Wolfwood/Vash in Trigun -who, IMO, become a couple in canon- and Hiro/Ando in Heroes), and my yaoi-manga OTP is Dee/Ryo from Fake. I'm OK with consensual one-night-stand or D/s couples (which is how I actually got into yaoi) but give me my equal, will-give-our-lives-to-and-for-each-other, developing love guys any day.

Regarding rape, I really, truly hate it. I've written it where I've believed a character has been a victim, but I view it as a horrific, psychologically damaging crime and take that approach to it (even if it's not obvious at the time) and I think the whole concept of "OMG he raped me so he must LOOOVE me" is so infernally stupid it needed to die years ago.
