YAOI - what is it?
Yaoi is a shortened version of the term "Yama nashi, Ochi nashi, Imi nashi"; which means "No plot, no point, no meaning."
And while this is what it DOES mean, the term is loosely used in the United States to mean something else. The actual term itself SHOULD be the same as a PWP (or porn without plot), but that's not always the case. If you ever talk to a fangirl/boy, many of them will actually mean it as the following:
PWP: Pure sex, nothing else to it.
Yaoi: Plot involved, but 18+ content.
Shonen-ai: Plot and only PG-13 content.
Other terms that should be known for the understanding of the BL genre (or boy's love) are doujinshi (fanfics basically), Shota (pedophilia), and tanbi (which isn't used anymore, but it set the ground for BL).
Oh and to those out there that will find this out the long way, just because Juné SAYS it's a yaoi manga, it doesn't always mean that. The rating on the back will determine if it's a yaoi or not.
person 1: Hey, the book says it's a yaoi, but is it really?
person 2: Depends, do they have sex?
person 1: Yes.
person 2: Do you SEE them having sex?
person 1: No.
Person 2: Then no.
What does "YAOI" mean?
Anime, manga, or fanfic that depicts explicit relationships between two males. Usually focuses on the passionate/ lustful/ physical side of the relationship, unlike shounen-ai which focuses on the romantic/ loving/ emotional side. Usually R rated or higher.
Even if you have no problem with homosexuality, I would not recomment showing yaoi to your kids.
YAOI - what does it mean?
Yaoi is a Japanese word, which is actually something of an acronym. It comes from "YAma nashi, Ochi nashi, Imi nashi", which means "no climax, no point, no meaning".
In speech and writing, it's a slang term used to refer to stories that focus on homosexual relationships, usually between men. Yaoi tends to involve graphic sex, often with little or no plot. The female equivalent is yuri.
A related genre is shonen-ai, or "boys' love", which tends to involve less sex and more cuddling (and plot).
I love reading yaoi fanfiction!

YAOI
Many people (mostly fangirls) get the term Yaoi, mixed up with the term shounen-ai though the two may be closely related being that they both show relationships between male characters, there is a difference. One depicts explicit content So let's clear things up, shall we?
Yaoi is used to describe titles that contain sex scenes and other sexually explicit themes
Shounen-ai is used to describe titles that focus more on romance and do not include explicit sexual content
We'll use the Gravitation manga series and doujinshi as an example
Gravitation would more likely be considered shounen-ai due to its focus on the characters' careers rather than their "love life"
Gravitation Remix and Megamix would be considered yaoi because of its emphasis on the characters' sexual relationships.
YAOI
Often mistaken for stories related to homosexual men the true meaning is usually set aside for the ignorant foreigners who generalized the meaning with out clearly thinking through (mostly Fat white Americans)
Yaoi considered to be the women's equivalent of the men's adapted erotic fiction. There are no sections identified as the Yaoi genre at the Comic Market but the books are there nevertheless (hidden within the adaptations and parodies genre and the fan club genre). Yaoi was originally an abbreviation for a self-mocking statement regarding erotic adaptations regardless of the gender of the creator. (Ya-O-I = "Yama nashi, Ochi nashi, Imi nashi" which means "No build up (in storytelling), no wrapping up (the conclusion), no real deep meaning (in doing the book)".) For whatever reason, the term now has attached itself with erotic adaptations and parodies created by women. The material that would be classified into this genre primarily involves gay relationships between the handsome or cute (male) characters. The genre tends to overlap with the adaptations and parodies genre, but this is not always the rule, for there is considerable crossover with the "June" category, as well as the fan club genres.

A story about a man who uses his flexing biceps to find purpose of being buffed up.. that is so Yaoi.
