Because your Pervy just like me. Sadly my yuri gallery is lacking in numbers...
PM me if you'd be interested in exchanging yuri.
4chan for the win.

Anyway, on-topic:

I love Yuri, but I don't enjoy Yaoi. Not to say you can't, though. I agree with marthwmaster - I guess it's because girls are prettier than guys. Usually (READ USUALLY, MEANING FROM MY EXPERIENCES T#@) it seems that the girl on girl action is more cute and loving, as opposed to the guy on guy action (with the exception of AKxH o.o). Of course, I haven't delved into Guy on guy at all, so I'm probably wrong :D
Agreed 4chan FTW!!! Yeah I'd love to exchange but first I must surf 4chan :D

4chan has to be the WORST place to seriously find anything like that :/
compared to real sites dedicated to that stuff, 4chan's random pics here and there fails :P

I personally have nothing against Yuri. I've seen a few anime's that have had a shojo-ai underline and I loved them. Though to tell the truth I am more of a yaoi fangirl. Either way though, I don't hate Yuri ^^ I'm just not the most likely to go out and search for it, lol XD

The *chans are actually good if you're looking for sources of certain images or needing to request specific kinds of images.

4chan pwns when it comes to /b/ and /r/. 7chan pwns in /34/ (the Rule 34 board) and fapchan. 'nuff said about that.

Yuri's alright, don't got nothing against it. I don't have much in my files, since I'm a moar of a yaoi nut.

/r/ has been failing a lot of people lately. /e/ and /h/ FTW!!!

Please note that I haven't read through this topic farther than the first page yet. Too tired to do that now and I'll probably forget about it tomorrow.


The reason yaoi seems to generally be more "popular" than yuri may be the fact that for some reason, being a yaoi fangirl is seen as a generally accepted thing between anime/manga-interested people. Simply put, girls see it as an ok thing to be openly adoring yaoi.

Boys are more laid back with shouting about it and probably consider it more as taboo (which many people consider hentai and porn in general, even though we all know most people look at and enjoy it every now and then sooner or later in their life)

Plus, yaoifangirls are for some reason the loudest people around most of the time, so you just hear them a lot more.


That's what I think causes things to seem like yaoi is more popular than yuri.



Personally, I find yaoi a tad bit more gross than yuri (more specifically when you get to the more...graphic parts), also party because I'm a boy I suppose.
Still, it's not like I'll puke or scream at the sight of a yaoi-picture. I'd just rather not see it.

Yuri is usually girls with perfect bodies doing pretty things (that aren't quite as gross on the graphic side) and much because I'm a boy, I can't possibly say I don't like it ;P


Silly hormones~
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

lol yeah, zero showed off how amazing requests can be there the other day O_O
but from what i've seen, if you're looking for just general places to find tons of specific whatever, specialized forums seem the best :P

Now, here's what I don't get.
A lot of into-yaoi-girls openly read and like it.
Yet, if they see a guy reading yuri, they'll call him a pervert and a gross freak. (this is a repeated experiance with my friend and Once with me at a con)

/b/ = Random, /r/ = Requested, /e/ = Ecchi. It's 4chan stuff you wouldn't understand. :o

I'm just going to toss this out there: anyone who thinks yuri is gross ought to think the same of yaoi, and vice versa. I hate double standards like that.
