A Japanese abbreviation for "YAmanashi, Ochinashi, Iminashi" which translates to "without climax, without resolution, without meaning," and by the Japanese definition refers to unofficial comic books (doujinshi) that support a non-official, homosexual (male/male) couple and are very explicit.
In English terms, however, the word is much more broad and can refer to anything with any homosexual(only male/male) or boy's love themes in anime and manga, sometimes even expanding to non-anime/manga works, but often in connection with fanfiction.
It is important to note that although the word 'homosexual' has been mentioned quite a bit in this definition, much of Japanese yaoi manga, as with most BL (boy's love) manga, cannot truly be considered homosexual content. This is because the men/boys in the comic, although often clearly represented in a relationship together (usually physical in nature), are in fact not homosexual, but show a deep romantic connection only to the one man they are portrayed as in love with. (Although this is not ALWAYS the case.)

In which two or more males do the frickle frackle either behind a bush, in a bed, or in front of other predatory males

Real Yaoi is purely sex; Shitty ass yaoi, which fangirls often get confused of the two, is when they cuddle or simply kiss.
No, there's no point or plot to yaoi-It's porn it doesnt have to have a point. Think about it, does the porn you look up on the internet really have a really deep complex plot behind it? No, it's porn! Get it through your thick ass skull! It's pooooorn!! Guy on Guy!

---Shitty ass Yaoi---
Ryuu: I love you Kyo, I'll never doubt our love again.
Kyo: I love you too...My Ryuu
*Light kiss*
---REAL Yaoi---
*Nearing the end of 3 hours of hardcore sex*
Ryuu: AHHHH!! K-Kyo!! *Moans*
Kyo: Ryuu...*Thrust faster* Ahh...*Cums everywhere*
Me: ...Damn, that was hot *Was watching the whole time*
