Please think quite hard about this. The question is as relevant whether you are a yaoi fan or whether you find it irrelevant.
Many of the pictures depict S&M sex. I am discounting those. Some depict rape. I am discounting those.
I want to concentrate on the smaller set that depict drawings of what appears to be blissful, mutual, penetrative or non penetrative, male/male sex. You may choose the age group to suit your own needs, there is certanly a wide age range to choose from.
The question is:
Do you feel that being shown such pictures would have been (or is) more likely to make you happy to be seduced by the person showing them to you?
Note that I am setting this specifically as a seduction, not a casual discovery of the genre.

Thinking back to when I was 13 / 14, being shown ANYTHING that was a shared interest made me feel valued, and happier to be seduced. In my case, it was pictures of beam-engines, church organs, and canals. I don't think yaoi would have been any more, nor any less, effective (I already knew that I was gay, that it was nothing to be ashamed of, and that many people simply would not understand).
From about 15 onwards, I don't think that seduction entered into it ... I was clearer in my own mind about what was (and what wasn't) potentially on the agenda. If someone had shown me yaoi then (and indeed even now), I might in some circumstances possibly take it as an indication that any attempt at seduction on my part would not be unwelcome.

When I was younger? Quite probably. But then, being shown a gay porn mag would have had a similar effect. I was always sexually focused more so than romantically. My interest in gay romance came about 5 years after my first interest in gay "sex".
