I've been wondering about yaoi. After visiting this site my wondering turned to what Yaoi is, and why oyt often represents boys as girls. It has been said that Yaoi is drawn for and plotted for girls, not boys. I find that interesting, but not wholly believable.

Looking at some of the drawings and the videos I find I am drawn to being any of the parties in them. The clothing is amusing, but irrelevant. What does strike me, though, is that many of the plots are to do with humiliation and power rather than a loving embrace. I'm less sure that I like that, even in a storyboard environment. So I wondered about your thoughts.
