shounenai

Retro term once used in Japan to depics softcore romantic relationships between men, aimed for women's entertainment (& not for mockery either). Some people who have touble adjusting or reading Japanese or staying updated still call it Shounenai, but now it's called BL.

Go to Google.om, switch settings to Japanese language only, type in BL. You'll gets tons & tons of links. For you buffs who know katakana & cut-&-paste, try adding wods like gallery & illust for picture BL sites.

bishounen

One of the 3 stages of male beauty most men will never achieve, esp. if they're 3 dimensional & non-asian.

Bisyouta/Bishota: Cute little boy. (usually around 13, wich in Japan, is the age of concent)

Bishounen (commonly mispelled as bishonen); A boy around 14-19 who has femanine qualities & youthfullness that enhance his physical appearence.

shota

Refurs STRICTLY to young boys. Female shota is colled Lolli.

Shota, or more commonly in Japan; Syouta, is LEAGAL in Japan because the age of concent is 13 there. Rather than attracting gay men, this appeals to young Japanese girls & one of my friends.

Because of how popular it is & how well it sells & since 2D drawings are harmless, shota will not become illigal in Japan any time soon.
