one dude’s theory So I was wandering around YouTube one day, and ran into a non-fudanshi, straight, white guy’s theory about why we women love yaoi. And it cracked me up. Mind you, this isn’t an anti-yaoi rant. It’s exactly what the title says, and even though I was a bit worried at the beginning…
women of the world love yaoi My favorite box on the WordPress stats page is the flags list — the hits on your site by country. Since my site’s all about stories of boys who fall in love and boys who have sex with each other — a rather taboo topic in many parts of the world…
