Yoooooo, Fr. It's a pet peeve of mines because protection is key for everyone. BL/Yaoi artists be forgetting that these are real but I guess to them it ruins the fantasy and probably getting in the way of entertainment too.
YEAH FR!! Like okay fine, it's fiction, but at least put some or add those little “please use protection” panels or quick reminders—and honestly?? Sex with condoms doesn’t kill the vibe at all. I’m still fully feral LMAO anyway It’s still yaoi, still hot, and still EVERYTHING. SAFE AND SEXY—period.
Just hope there aren’t naive young gay couples who skip protection just because they read it on yaoi manhwa/manga. It’s just there are some people who really can’t tell fiction from reality, and that’s concerning.
i came across a comment from someone here saying that they got anal fissure because their then-bf only used spit and cum as lube... so yeah... i know authors are essentially selling fantasies here but i hope they'd be more responsible towards the young and more impressionable audience that consumes their work. like condom and lubes can be sexy, i saw some work here that artfully/cheekily include that element in the stories. so it's do-able. i'm so glad i had sex before i started reading yaoi because god a lot of the old work back then was like even worse than rn. lowkey hate that it's been 10 years since i start reading and "oh it hurts! stop" is still being used as normal bedroom talk in the sense to urge the top to keep going, and not, you know, it's hurts and it's time top stop and do sth different. yeah yaoi logic but if i had read this when i was 15 i would thought real sex should be like this!which is so wrong omg.
I know sex is good, but for God’s sake, please wear a condom! I really hope they start normalizing condom use in smutty scenes and educating people that even if you’re both guys, it doesn’t mean you don’t need one.
