QUOTE But if you notice that in a yaoi couple, one of the partners tend to be more girly.....I wonder if they have Klinefelter's Syndrome ??
Actually, the genetic disorder, Klinefelter's syndrome.....speaking of which a person is phenotypically male but their genotype generally has an extra X chromosome, i.e. XXY, XXXYY, XXXY are examples.
What I'm wondering is that if this genetic disorder has been used as an "advantage" in yaoi or shounen ai material before ??
Ummmm...
no. Not that I've ever seen (and I've seen A LOT of yaoi). Actually, I've never even
heard of that syndrome. I think it's more like, mangakas sort of falling into lazy/stereotypical hetero-stereotypes (i.e. a "feminine"-type character plus a "masculine"-type character)-- or sometimes, the uke is just younger than the seme. I think that's why I like mangakas who tend to draw both more "manly"-looking characters (sorry for the abuse of quotation marks!). But I'm not into bara, thanks.
QUOTE Damn....come to think of it....that question would have been more suitable in the Yaoi thread...ah well.
Bring it! That thread needs more love & attention anyways...
QUOTE As for why I am here or why I have this slight curiosity is nothing really....I don't mind yaoi but I don't really watch it and stuff....its just I don't really care.....the thing is...I can't stand yuri in fact...I don't know why but I tend to avoid same-sex romances in anime and manga.....hmmmm....I like my ecchi-harem-straight stuff the most!! XD

Honestly, bring the yaoi questions... I have to say, it's very cool that you're so open-minded about it (i.e. you're not revolted/offended/bigoted about it, which is very cool and --unfortunately-- commendable for a straight guy, at least here in the U.S.). But, as you mentioned, please do bring it to the
yaoi thread...
