Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nop never happened, to be honest the first time I saw it the first thing that crossed my mind was "huh?" and when the finally the information reached my brain the second thought was "OMG HOW CUUUUUTE!!!!" and that was it 4laugh it never crossed my mind that it was gross or disturbing

I don't really remember my first encounter with yaoi very well.

I don't think I found it disturbing, but I did find it a little odd. Particularly since there was so MUCH of it. I discovered it in fanfiction. I was poking around in the YGO section. I'd been reading mostly in Charmed, which is not a slashy fandom, so it came as a bit of a shock.

For a while I didn't read it. Then certain pairings (Ryou/Bakura, Bakura/Malik, Ryou/Malik, etc.) started to grow on me, and now I'm a full-fledged yaoi fan.

First time around I was completely shocked and curious. I remember once this girl brought in a newspaper about a play... Adam and Steve. xd I was all to eager to look at the picture of two guys kissing.

But back then I didn't comprehend why I wanted to see it so bad and I knew if I looked too long people might say things about me. But that and other things kept coming out at that time with boy x boy relationships and they just kept grabbing my curiousity. I eventually started searching out stuff and at some point realized my interest and started writing.

Even after that I was shocked by my first yaoi series.

I guess for guys it's more of a when you first got started as in figuring out you were gay/bi thing right? *ponders*

Meh, here's my story..

mmm.. I had no clue really. I got hit on and stuff by girls in middle school alot, I think it was just that whole "guy who doesn't like anybody and is hard to get" thing, but really I just never had any interests. I just figured maybe I was too young to care or something. Well at least at first.. Then I moved into these apartments with my family. There was this guy there, a complete uke looking gay boy who befriended me (And er, no, he wasn't uke in the end.. *cough*). I was always really quiet and minded my own business, kind of one of those antisocial brooding types, but I always saw him around and he would come up and talk to me all the time. I never understood why, I mean I know I can be a real jerk I guess with how I am with people.. but he was always nice.. And god.. hot.. There was a lake behind the complex and a couple benches around it. One night I was out sitting on a bench by myself, just staring at the lake and thinking and stuff.. and he came out of nowhere.. Sat on the bench, looked and me, and then bam, next thing I know he was kissing me and clinging to me and er.. yeah.. well I was shocked and confused and admittantly bothered beyond what I knew could be humanly possible.. After that we were together. Nothing big at first, it was weird cause we'd always come across each other at these private secluded places without planning it and end up.. er.. making out.. heh..
Since then I been hooked to boys. Never dated a girl in my life..

When I first started, it was fanfiction, and I was like: "...okay..." and then I kept going. xd Never turned back. heart

Nope it didn't creep me out one bit xd

No, at first I thought it did but now looking back on it it didn't. I know that's odd to think about but I didn't know if being gay or bi was right until I was more mature. Then I realized it didn't matter what anyone thought, I was just me. So, no. ^^

I've been raised to be tolerant, and the first glimpse didn't make me uncomfortable so much as curious. Prior to my first real look at slash and BL, I had only boys kiss girls. I think maybe I blushed, but I wasn't looking in the mirror, or anything, so I don't know. I felt that it was something I could get used to, and I did. I didn't think that slash or BL would have such a big impact on my fanwork preferences, though. -_-;;
