So this an off topic thing and im not sure if should post it here alsonbut i need to take this of my chest, im a Christian and also im someone who enjoys Yaoi content on all forms more than anything and sometimes i feel conflicted and i would stop reading all together but somehow comes around to reading it again after a while, im not sure if its coz my resolve ain't strong or its because im broken beyond repair. I mean im a women, in real life im mostly attracted to women i think of wanting to do it win a man all th time so my reading preference hasnt really affected my sexual preference and im still painfully straight also i dont consume any gxg content also. So im really confused why as a women do i cone around to reading 2 men do it?? Why is it so enticing to me i would rather watch this than a guy on a girl??

Also everyone knows how this is considered as wrong thing in Christianity so i get another level of existential crisis because im consuming something that is considered wrong.

If anyone has ever felt anything similar or in general how is it like to have a preference for yaoi content, please do let me know

Sometimes its easier to have fantasies that don't involve possible situations because it allows you to get lost in the idea. It makes sense. That's why it's a fantasy. A lot of people enjoy thinking or reading about things they would never do in real life. Your private thoughts are your own! you can enjoy yaoi regardless of your sexuality or religion ❤ I'm no longer Christian, but I do believe that God made you in his image and he doesn't make mistakes. God made queer people in his image because love is greater than we can understand.

honestly as a former religious person and now bisexual woman I kinda understand where your coming from. Honestly I don’t think you should beat yourself up about it! Yaoi is fun to read also I enjoy gxg content I didn’t at first but it grew on me! I am in a long term straight relationship with a man and I am very accepting of the community for me I don’t necessarily see it as two men in a relationship and more two people who like/love/are interested in each other whether that be sexually or romantically! It’s okay to be religious and have certain beliefs but liking yaoi doesn’t make you a bad Christian or sinful at the end of the day it’s just two people who show interest in each other and to me romance is my favorite genre so I read everything, also food for thought you like men so you read about men together that’s not exactly too crazy! Maybe you could try to open your mind a little bit and give yourself grace

Hi! I'm Christian too, but I practice it in faith only in private. I believe your faith should have no strong bearing to your vices as long as you have some moderation.

Coming to terms with your faith shouldn't affect you in shame. Afterall Jesus was kind to all, and will always have mercy for you. So be kind to yourself rather than punishing yourself for something to is actually quite harmless and healthy in moderation.

Exploring sexuality is such a taboo in institute religion that we forget we are a product of sex. It took me several years to get over it too, but now I am 33 …well I still read my Bible. Still do my devotionals but I also remind myself I am human. Not God.

We eventually grow out of habits that are not very God like in nature but for now? Enjoy! It is life and honestly reading yaoi has let me become more comfortable with sex and I am soon to be married 😂💗

Hope this helps Internet stranger xx never waver in your faith and remember you can have your vices…Solomon had several wives afterall. Xx
