I'm 16 ^_^ I got into Yaoi about two or so years ago, when I was absolutely obsessed with Gundam Wing and was still reading the Assasins Quest series...
I was looking around Fanfiction.net and was looking for non slashy GW fanfiction... Eventually I was tempted, so I looked in on a few. I think my favorite pairing became TrowaxQuatre... and I spent many a night afterwards binging myself on angsty (or fluffy) fanfictions XD
I dont think it was just GW that converted me though... The Assasins Quest series is somewhat to blame as well. Its often implied that one of the main characters is in love with the other (and I simply adored him. He's still one of my all time favorite literature characters <3) and eventually I began questioning myself XD...
... well, I'v never liked Hardcore Yaoi, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with being 'maure' though, I'v never been a hardcore person >.> (but maybe I'm just too young to tell or something...O_o)
aah, Y!Gallery... I lied about my age to get on, all the while saying to myself "Its alright! It's not like I'll go looking at rated artworks or anything" though after a while they started showing up everywhere (and some of then where quite shocking XD) Eventually I left and never went back. I might return one day though...
I dont know about that >.> I like to think of myself as a 'mature' fan but I can be - very - fangirly when it comes to pairings I really love (or if I;m just in a fangirly mood)
My favorite Genre...hmmm.. thats hard. I've always loved angst, I suppose...

I'm 20. I read my first yaoi story at the age of 16. I was looking up Ronin Warrior/YST fanfiction. I had seen the word 'yaoi' and didn't know what it was so I usually avoided it. But I was curious.
And I found out what yaoi meant when Sage mounted Rowen and put his hand in his pants...
I didn't get into yaoi until I was 18 and in college. Then I had been exposed to RW, Gundam Wing, and Yu-Gi-Oh.

I'm only 12, nearing 13. (:
I started getting into in yaoi just last summer at the end of the school year. ^^"
Because I'm Catholic, I was a little unsure.
It was Final Fantasy VII that got me into yaoi, because of all the fanart, fanfiction, and pairings all over the internet. xD
I may not be extremely mature,
but enough to deal with all the content.
Then I introduced one of my friends to yaoi, and she started like it as well. (;
I love Romance/Angst fanfictions, I don't know why. xD
They're just so fluffy and shounen-ai-like.
<3333

Well, I'm almost 13, and I started getting into yaoi when I was around 11. My fist fanfic, which I accidentaly clicked on, was a RikuSora fic, and because I was heavily into the game, and I decided to just read the first chapter. I was almost instantly hooked on fluff and soon I started looking into manga, and anime and fanfiction with slight shounen-ai tints, or just totally slashable themes. About 5 months afterward I was getting into a bit more of a 'want more action' mood, and I decided to read hardcore slash. XD
I've never been against gay couples, although when I was little, I did say eww sometimes when my cousin would talk about it. The first time I started reading slash and buying manga I felt rather embarassed about telling my friends and family becuase they're mostly all christian or muslim, with the exception of my mother and sister. So for the first year, I was very discrete, I would never leave any of my gravitation manga on the coffee table so no one would have the chance to pick them up, I would never watch anime when many people in my house were awake, and I just tried to avoid the subject of 'Hey, watcha readin?'
Even though I was shy about my little yaoi addiction, I wasn't very shy about saying that I was all for gay rights. But I live in a very 'faggs should die' area, so I try not to make any arguments monumental, because I just wanted people to know that they don't need to be talking about that kind of thing infront of me, because it pisses me off. XD
I haven't told many people about me and yaoi because I'm still pretty young, and because people tend to think that I'm a horrible, perverted person for even being okay with it. But I think that I'm mature enough to handle explicit content, even though others may not. XD
(I live in a small town in texas, and people thought I was wrong for going out with an african-american person.)

Well, I don't think there was a time when I didn't slash things. My first slash couple that I can remember is the monumental pairing of Tigger and Rabbit. A friend recenly reawakened that memory. X3 Now I'm obsessed with them. I was about six or seven I guess. I've always, always been open - even enjoyed - homosexual relationships. I think it must have something to do with my former life. o-O
I am 19 now but will be 20 in March so I don't think I'll be having problems with people thinking I'm not mature enough. However I've always been rather mature. Poverty-ridden, drug infested living conditions can mature you real fast. >.> I do think maturity is more important in the matter than age because if you're mentally 20 in a 13 year old body I think you should go ahead.
Some fans do annoy me in ways but I never get too annoyed with anyone because it's their right to pick their own fandom and their own way of celebrating that fandom. I am a little bit of squee especially reagarding fluff - which is my favorite - but the majority of the times I'm an "aww that's so romantic" about things. I also like angst which allows for little squeeing.
I do watch hardcore yaoi occasionally but I'm not a very -sensual might be the word - person. I don't go crazy for sex in general. I'm a little lacking in the sex drive. Like you wanted to know that. But I mostly like angst or fluff. I also like things that are different. Different is refreshing. Different in what way? I don't care. Sometimes I get tired of seeing the same old same old in BL anime. Sometimes it's cute enough but sometimes it bores me. MalexMale action isn't all I'm looking for in BL anime. I like a good plot to go with it. And...that is alll I have to say about that.
Though I would like to mention that I too, like LunarSerenity, live in a small southern town where inter-racial and same sex couples are frowned upon. However I do make a big deal about gay rights in my home. I definently don't - and never have - had a problem with my family or friends knowing I like BL/Shounen Ai though I don't go telling anyone but my sister about liking the hardcore stuff. o_O Who tells their family they watch porn of any kind?

I was introduced to Yaoi on complete accident of my own..Looking at Hentai((Such a pervet)), a drifted along a website, a Digimon Hentai website, full of Doujinshi's un-related to digimon that are Hetro, and all digimon that are yaoi..I clicked on one that read Yaoi..Thinking..WTF does that mean?..To my digust at the time, the first page was Tai and Matt kissing, I was like..UHHH! WTF?..But, I kept reading for some reason..Time went on, and I began to realize, Hentai((and porn in genreal..I was pervert, just shut up.)) Only turned me on, if it involved a guy..So, I removed the girl to see if it still did anything for me..It did, and I was scared..Very, Very scared..But, I got into Yaoi..And shunned it off as..Bi-sexual, prefers girls..It evolved intill I finally accepted myself..Now im not only Homo-sexual..Im uke..Note, my first glimpse of Yaoi 13..Acceptance of sexuality..Fifteen, exactly two months ago..((Been in denial a loooong time.))

I love Yaoi. I guess I got into it when I first saw it in a fanfic summary. I was curious because I didn't know what it was. Once i did read it though I was hooked. I found it so much cuter than regular couples. I think that anyone in their teens should be able to read it. I beleive if you support it than you are mature enough to not just look at the norm. Now I look at tons of diffrent Yaoi and even some that are not anime realated. I mean I think if you are a true fangirl than you interest should branch form more than just 1 or 2 anime. If you want to call yourself a yaoi fangirl than you need to show it. I'm actually both types of fangirl. I squeal like crazy when something fluffy happens but I'm also reserved when other things happen. I like ALL types of yaoi. And when I say all I mean all.

Okay, well, I'm 14 years old. The way I really got into yaoi was mostly from the girl who was my best friend a year ago. Now that I look back on it, that girl seemed to get me hooked on everything. She got me obsessed in Harry Potter, in anime, in yaoi, and in liking girls. But mostly the way I remember it, she would always freak out about yaoi pairings, especially EdwardxEnvy from FullMetal Alchemist. I used to always argue her at first and say, "That's so weird! They're BROTHERS, Raegan!" and she'd say, "Not technically."
Well of course, the BL stuff didn't really bother me so much as that pairing did towards the beginning. And I got used to this obsession after a while, but then I began to get into it. I was the one now saying, "Envy's mine! Him and Edward foreverrr!" Yes, I was a sqeeling fangirl. I still might be a little bit, to tell you the truth. She owned the first two Gravitation mangas, so I decided to read them. Suddenly, I shot up like a rocket and I became completely obsessed.
Christmas 2005 my mom gave me the first two Gravitation mangas for Christmas, and I just had to have more. So for a year, I've been collecting them, and I got the last two of the series this Christmas. During that time, I've read and seen Loveless, FAKE, Sukisho, and, heaven forbid, Papa to Kiss in the Dark. Don't know if anyone's seen this, but it was kinda creepy to me in that really awesome, hot way. I mean, this 15 year old would have sex with his 28 year old father every night.
Really though, I like any kind of yaoi and shonen-ai. The fluffy stuff is good, but then when it comes to the hardcore stuff....ahhh....I'm in heaven. To tell the truth, Papa to kiss in the Dark is really the only hardcore yaoi I've seen. But FanFiction.net is my friend. I'll search any kind of pairings, as long as they make sense. I'm really into Fruits Basket, and there's really so many potential yaoi pairings it's crazy. I even made a list last year that was over a page long of just different potential yaoi and yuri pairings from different series.

I'm 21 and I guess
I have been into yaoi hmmm...for about four years now in the beginning I wasnt so much into it but I did like the pairings ^.^"
it wasnt until I wento a BORDERS store and I saw a small bag that had written " I ♥ YAOI" that I thats when it hit me I knew I just had to get the bag ^.^"
my brothers thought I was just being crazy... and it was just because it had to do with anime but since that year was the year when I actually was making enough money to spen for just me... I began buying mangas and I saw X/1999 that was the manga that got me hooked on yaoi so I bought 3 vols by christmas I got up to vol. 8 and hten I saw Loveless, gravitation
sometime later I actually went to buy the Yaoi bag I wanted and just last year I bought my self a carrier bag of the same logo and I just love it it goes with me everywhere ^.^"
the latest mangas that I have bought are "Man's Best Friend" (whick consits of ONLY one vol with 3 stories in it I love it!!! >.<) and "Boy Princess up to Vol. 4 there are more mangas I'm hoping to get and some animes but at the momment thats about as much as I've gotten and I love it!!!
what I mostly like about yaoi is the love that the characters have for each other and how it mostly is just "Forbidden Love" sweatdrop
one that I do want to get is gravitation I've hard of it but never bought it ^.^" but will soon
my fav yaoi paring is: Sena & Shin from Eyeshield 21 xd mrgreen 4laugh

17 here. ^^ I guess the first thing that got be questioning it was when I heard my sister had a girlfriend. When I first found out, I was silently being judgemental and automatically pictured her as some of the 'known lesbians' on tv.. People that usually on were portrayed as being a lesbian. My idea was that she was goth and had some kind of disease. I know its not nice, but hey! I was around 13 or 14 at the time! Anyway, I started checking into it. Well by the time my sister had moved on to her second girlfriend, I was more accepting. I had some gay friends at school and my best friend was bi. Ultimately, she was the one that began self-questioning. I started looking up these stories and pictures and, to say the least, I was effected by what I saw. I started questioning myself and my interests. And.. Well.. I found my answer. =3 I love men, sure enough. But I love women as well.. It took me a while to realise it. But I had some help.. lol.. when one of my stories got around to the people at 'The Wall' in school, they started questioning and now, practically everyone I know knows. Well... save most of my family (my sister and dad are the exceptions!) Anyway, I've come a long way from my questioning.. I can honestly remember why I first started questioning but, well... it's a little personal and I would rather not get into it. Anyway, that's my story... sweatdrop
