Other questions.



~WHAT IS SHOUNEN AI?~

Shounen-Ai translates as "Boy Love" meaning BoyxBoy in a romantic sense and is usually associated with Anime and Manga. Shounen-ai does not include sex. The farthest I'd personally consider shounen-ai to go is an implied hand job and some heavy making out. Anything more and it's Yaoi.

'Slash' is the american equivalent to these two terms, but does not distinguish the extent of the physcal implications (although usually hardcore). Also it can be used to refer to shoujo-ai (girl's love) But we don't do that here.



WHAT IS YAOI?

Yaoi refers to the next physical level to shounen-ai. It's basically fourth base and the honeymoon. Yaoi is a japanese acronym for "yama-naashi, owari-nashi, imi-nashi" ("no point, no plot, no resolution,"). We try to stay away from yaoi as this is the point where things start having too high a rating to be decent... for a minor that is.



~WHAT ARE BISHONEN?~

Bishonen, in lamest terms means “Pretty Boy”, but literally translates into 'buterfly boy'. In manga this is is applied to any youthful male who stikes your fancy as being pretty, hot, delectable, worthy of eating, ect... :gigge:

Biseinen are beautiful men, I'd wager over 35. That beautiful bishonen you once held so dear may be in fact a biseinen. I'd think of them as being all the better.
