23 here...So I'm legal right >.>"
Well I had a 6 years older adopted father which he is now my lover... Ehh...Yes my lover =w="
I'm still feeling shy to tell people about my relationship though. Well he is a bad influence and I am 100% sure I was straight before meeting him. Then, in college, I met this guy and he confesses to me at the bar when he is drunk. I was like avoiding him and after a few times listening to how he feels, I started to accept how I feel and the brand new me. Yet I was still evasive about it and never tell anyone these 2 years.
So, joining gaia is also a part of the reason why I am more open about the sexuality preferences. And people are like, "Hey you are gay!" And they start to introduce Yaoi and Shonen Ai animes. My first Yaoi is Loveless and I'm addicted to it. Follow up, I watched Gravitation, Gakuen Heaven, Junjou Romantica, Princess Princess...etc. I just couldn't stop watching them...

I'm 17, so not quite legal yet, but getting there! I got into yaoi by accidently watching the first episode of Gravitation at my grandma's house. I read fanfiction, watch yaoi anime and read yaoi manga, so I would most definatly say that anime is at fault for my pervishness!! I think that probably between 14 and 16 would be mature enough to experience the...uhh....explicite content of yaoi (even though I began watching/reading it when I was 12! rofl ). I am one of those SQUEEing fan-girls that everyone is annoyed with. I drool, I blush and squee when I see it and my friends now think I'm a nut-case! xD
I watch all levels of yaoi (YES! I admit this with pride and EVERY shread of dignity that I have left!!!) From hardcore to fluff, it doesn't matter. But I enjoy the fluffy feel-all-warm-and-cuddly kinds the most because the stories are more than just "OMG SMEX ME UP NOW!!" (which I don't mind whee ) and there's a plot (somewhat).
I would say that to me, yaoi is like and addiction that I can't drop. Like gambling, in this perspective:
1) you spend all of your money 2) you always think you need more than you do 3) and you know that you need an intervention....BADLY!!! rofl

SuperChanChan 2) you always think you need more than you do "Seriousness is the refuge of the shallow."

I've never had any discrimination against me age wise. For looking younger than I actually am, but never for age.

I shall now tell you all the story of how I became the pervert I am today.
It all started when I was 12 years old and a shy 7th grader. I mean I was REALLY shy...like whenever someone walked past me, I would look down at the ground, hoping they wouldn't stare at me O.O. It got so bad, that my teacher kept asking my parents if I had a social problem...but I digress. Anywho, It was at this moment that I met one of my soon to be best friends. She was all into Anime and stuff so I decided to give it a try, which is when I started to watch my first anime, Inuyasha. I instantly fell I love with InuyashaXKagome...although in the back of my mind I was all for INUYASHAXSESHOMARU..but I quickly dumped the pairing, thinking that it was wrong to think like that.
Now At the age of 14. I was barely a freshman in High School. By that time, I had became a hikimori mountain hermit who hated to go outside. I would spend all my time watching anime or reading manga. I had also started watching Naruto (the japanese verion), and I was obsessed with ItachiXSasuke...although I didn't say anything to anyone since I still thought it was wrong. Now...High school was a CRAZY time in my life. I met more people and started to have a "clique", I found out that yes I was a girl...therefore I was easy prey for guys O.O lol, and finally, I found out what being gay meant.
It was acually one of my (current) best firends who taught me xD (By the way, he's gay xD lol). I was watching Some anime on the computer one night when a link popped up that said something like "Online Hardcore Yaoi free". I was interested since it had popped up on my anime sight (i thought i was normal AWESOME anime lol). I was surprised. When i clicked the link, a screen full of guys "getting it on", guys chained with their *a-hem* bleeped out and guys getting torture raped popped up. Needless to say i sat there in shock. I was completly frozen. Yeah...so! I called my gay friend and told him what I had just saw, and that's when he began to explain it to me! : D After that point, he would let me borrow Yaoi Manga's secretly, since I was still kinda shy about it. However towards the end of my sophmore year, I got "Un-Shy" and said, "Screw This!" And just started telling people about it. It was a mixed reaction but all my friend were like, "That's awesome" lol.
Anywho, Yup. I'm 18 right now. In those *counts on fingers* 3 years I went from THINKING about ItachiXSasuke to READING S&M Lemons about them. Oh...and yes, I am still somewhat of a Hikimori xD ROFL
And that concludes Blinktjp's Bedtime story :3

I was 12 years old when i started getting into yaoi even 11. All i remember i was a 6th grader and im a freshman now.
My friend Siobhan was the one who taught me everything i know about yaoi. Also a little bit of my friend Annabelle(whom is missed she moved ;/) but my friend Siobhan sent me my first Yaoi and it was a Roy/Ed because i loved Fullmetal Alchemist so much.(Still do)
But on to the other questions i honestly hate the Squeel fans. It isn't that big of a deal i mean i'm a huge fan but it's nothing to scream about. I'm just a laid back fan i love yaoi and when i'm in the mood i watch it. smile call me a pervert or whatever.
And i'm not upset about the age 18 thing. I think that if audlts think that an 18 year old is most likely the most mature to an adult i'm fine with it. I can understand they probably don't want to get in trouble if a 10 year old told her mommy that she saw two guys have sex. Even thought i think some 10 year might have a little common sense.
This pervert has watched probably all levels of yaoi through my two years almost three i've made up level to level. :3 first one ever was i believe.....uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh OH first manga was Love Neko. I know first hard yaoi was the first year it scared me a little but i got over it. (long response xD!)

Hmm I remember I had just turned 12 and was in middle school. They had just got the lockers renovated so my friends and I were changing after our PE class and we were having an anime discussion. I had already been obsessed with anime before then XD. So we were talking about anime and my two friends, who are twins, that used to like anime mentioned Gravitation, it was alright, and shonen ai. At irst I just brushed it off right, but that summer I was completely bored. I remembered that they had mentioned Gravitation, I didn't know what shonen- ai meant way back then, so I decided to look it up.
I looked it up ad couldn't stop watching it XD and now I've been a hard core Yaoi fan for about 5-6 years. I had watched Gravitation and then started to read fanfiction on naruto yaoi pairings. Back then also as was disgusted by any fanfiction other than straight pairings in inuyasha. I don't know why XD so I decided to read Naruto yaoi and eventually came up upon a few lemons in those long novel types XD it jump started the Yaoi light bulb and I decided to look for canon yaoi/Shonen ai manga and anime. XD that was like three years ago though.
Now I watch and read yaoi/ shonen ai every chance I get! ^_^ heart I'm now a 16 yr old yaoi fangirl at heart but not the SQUEE type those are somewhat annoying. XD

Hmmm....I was around 8 when I recognized that I liked slash/yaoi. It started with Stargate the movie. I thought Daniel and Ra would make a great couple, even though at the time I thought Ra was a girl. Cue in watching it again and realizing that Ra is a guy. ....I still thought they would make a cute couple.
....And I'll be 23 years old in April. What does that say about me...? That I've been a fujoshi for far longer time than I've been alive.

Was if fanfiction that converted you, or maybe fanart?
Im 15 now, and have been a fan scene i was 11. Despite the fact that im 'underage', i feel as if im old enough to view all content, and enjoy it as well ;P I dont feel discriminated against at school, or the internet. Though i DO feel discriminated when i want to purchase any merchandise, witch fails epically. I am both a 'squee' fan, and a mature one, it all just depends on what it is im reading/watching. I actually prefer the hardcore stuff, mainly because not only does it contain yummy smexx, but it sometimes will contain fluff and the like. I converted myself biggrin Haha, well, I mean no one introduced me. I had just seen a NaruGaa picture that was a tad bit.. shocking. I had no idea how to react XD, so i looked at more, and more, and more. And in the process of a day, i was absolutely hooked. Ive never seen/read an actual yaoi manga or anything, I kind of just create non-canon pairs in my head.

Hmm... Well, I was around twelve when I first discovered anime and my new-found love for that combined with my recent obsession with the internet meant that I was exposed to mature material almost immediately. I discovered fanfiction and that lead to me reading lemons (heterosexual, at first), without realizing their content originally. Despite this, I've always had the maturity to handle that sort of thing so it didn't particularly bother me.
Due to the family and small community that I have been raised in, I had very little understanding or tolerance for homosexuality originally and was a borderline homophobe. I remember being extremely disturbed when browsing the fanfics on FF.net to discover that a large amount of the fics were male/male because I had assumed that everyone had the same point of view as my town. Out of curiosity, I read one and was alarmed to find that I kind of liked it.
So it became my guilty pleasure and took me a long time to get me out of the homophobic mentality that I used to hold. Now I'm perfectly fine with it and despise homophobia. I am currently sixteen, which is still considered underage for half of the material I watch/read.

Considering that I am now within the legal age for actually buying yaoi (and other things besides) if I so wish, I've decided I might as well give a little update almost exactly three years on from my post on page 6. (Three years! Yowza!)
I said before that I had no interest in reading anything beyond what was rated as suitable for my age, and that was true at the time, but now I still have very little interest in M rated manga, fanfic, fanart or anything. I made an account on AarinFantasy a while ago, but I never use it at all. I suppose you could say I'm a bit tame, aha.
Really, it's because mostly it's more the emotions, the character's thoughts, the character dynamics et al. that fascinate me (and which I find hot, of course). And smut wise, I prefer kinks to just characters doing it outright. (Which is why my post in the Likes and Dislikes in BL, Yaoi and Slash thread reads mostly like a list of 'em, for sure.) Possibly a consequence of spending much time reading the Phoenix Wright kink meme in the past years, hm. It feeds into my interest in character dynamics.
In other words, I'm of age and almost surely mature enough to deal with the content, but my focus when it comes to Yaoi might be considered a bit unusual. My preference would be for ones with plot (not very likely to find that, on average :/) and well-developed characters, perhaps with a fantasy genre overlap. More fluffy than hardcore, mostly. (Or, if hardcore, more based on kinks.) I do sometimes read a yaoi oneshot or two, and I'm happy that I can legally do so, but it's not really a regular occurence.

I'm not telling my age, but I'm not 20 yet.
I was introduced to it by a friend. I don't think she meant to do it, really, she's older and at the time, probably thought I'd be horrified if I saw the full extent of what she was reading.
But she showed me some of the less hardcore stuff, and one thing led to another, and because I was silly I searched Yaoi instead of shounen-ai because that was the term I knew.
I just... liked it. There's a comfort to the fact that you aren't putting yourself in as one of the characters, and you can think of things a lot more naughty when you're not imagining it happening to real people.
Plot is good, smut is good, I waver in my ratios depending on my mood.
Y!gallery is delicious, I discovered it when I was 14 and was kicked out of my account for being too young.
I'm generally too embarrassed to buy the stuff, so I just read/watch it online.
