Yaoi~ Why I became addicted
If you were to tell me that I would love Yaoi inspired books, manga, magazines, etc I would have laughed. I have always been a female that had her head in books. I guess I was a geek in a way...
One day I was searching Youtube trying to entertain myself when I stumbled across an OVA called Junjo Romantica. I was blown away! It was sexy, sensual, drama-filled, and yet touching. I was introduced to a way of love. Now I know gay couples, been to mixers, etc. but it was nothing special to me at the time. After watching these episodes I felt something, something different. It was intoxicating, erotic, and free. I could not get this out of my head even while working. It has taken over me somehow.
I fantasize about the characters and I love the voice actors. For a BL (Boys Love) manga to make me feel a certain way (you know what I mean) of changed me. I wanted to know more. So the research began.
I started to read manga's online, magazines, and contacting individuals from Japan who were into Yaoi. So much information was given to me from everywhere. I did not know that there were so many women and men like myself who enjoyed this type of genre. I have to say I have not found anyone close to my age but that is ok. I do not think it matters.
I have only told 2 people of my obsession with this. Can you imagine if my boss, co-workers, and family were to know my feelings? It did not go very well with my gentleman friend when I mentioned it. My boyfriend is older (56) and Chinese. The look on his face was something to remember. I have not spoken about this to him since then.
You can say this is going into my Pandora's box. My secret that I cannot share with anyone. Well, I am sharing it with you.
