Yaoi is a popular term for female-oriented fictional media that focus on homoerotic or homoromantic male relationships, usually created by female authors. Originally referring to a specific type of dōjinshi parody of mainstream anime and manga works, yaoi came to be used as a generic term for female-oriented manga, anime, dating sims, novels and dōjinshi featuring homosexual male relationships.
Yaoi began in the dōjinshi markets of Japan in the late 1970s/early 1980s as an outgrowth of shonen-ai. BL (Boys Love, another term for yaoi) creators and fans are careful to distinguish the genre from “gay manga,” which are created by and for gay men.
The main characters in BL usually conform to the formula of the seme who pursues the uke.

a male/male type of hentai that anime fangirls (and some boys) like to watch. homosexuality within anime that is fanmade (90% of the time). it is very graphic and usually has sexual content not meant for people under 18.... but more 12-15 year olds watch it more than anything lol. Yuri is the opposite of Yaoi which has female/female hentai.

Yaoi is male/male love, it does not have to mean sex; it just means "gay anime" as most used to call it.
I really like this yaoi manga.
Or
My sister likes yaoi, she says "cause what's better than one handsome boy is two!"

Yaoi (YAH-OH-EE): 'Yaoi' is a Japanese term meaning 'boy sex,' or sex between two males. It is largely seen in various Anime, Manga, and fanwork, and has become a rather flexible term. It is usually mistaken for Shounen-Ai, or 'boy love'.
"What, 'Gravitation'? I heard that comic book is all yaoi..."
