Yaoi is a manga (Japanese comic) style aimed primarily at women. It presents relatively feminine, glamorized male characters in sexually charged scenarios. It is generally more "romantic" than graphic, and cannot be directly likened to either Western homosexual erotica, or the inverse of "lesbian" fantasies targeting heterosexual men. Basically, eye candy for women and gay men.
It's been a long time since the last digest. Given such tardiness, let's plunge right in! Although I cringe at watermarks, I understand why artists feel a need to do it, and Sakimichan's final-fantasy-esque duet is worth it (though we could see a bit more of that naughty devil...)! Though again, my puritanical tastes prefer unadorned images, Heise's sultry boudoir scene caught my fancy... as did this mermuffin-in-bondage: Not only does Sandfreak's Gaara offer Naruto cred, the styling provides...

I've expanded the number of sources I look at considerably, particularly from DevaintArt, and so it seemed appropriate to collect a number of pictures together in one place. Michiko's sets the pace with yaoi sex kitten Naruto and his most common conspirator in smooch. Vishstudio is proving to a reliable source of beefcake and buns, though this lad could use some ink on his left cheek! ...as was the tummy on this shot of Smoothsketch's . Belly button! I admit it: I'm down with emo... Read Full Story
I've noticed an increasing amount of search interest in jeans images. This post is meant to remedy my past weakness on that point. Here, I include both new images, as well as reintroduce some past shots which had not been labeled as "jeans." To set the scene, another Dolce & Gabbana show - devoted to jeans, set to Madonna. I'm starting to really *heart* YouTube. First up, I turn to DogEatDog's gallery - a surefire goto source for sexy muffins, naked twinks, and yaoi; highly recommended. Then... Read Full Story
So many pretty pictures, it's time for another Yaoi Digest! Little mixing and matching, this time, some traditional "manga style" images, some boxer briefs. Enough chatter, on with the show! I've always been a sucker (nyuck nycuk) for vampire schtick, a natural yaoi theme, and Natsuki-3 's gallery delivers. Is that Karazhan!? Chic and trendy blog The Imagist also delivers Gregory Vaughan delivering another of Tyler Kenyon's "technically not naked" naughty boy poses. Always a reliable source... Read Full Story
It's been a long time since the last Yaoi Digest. For this one, I turn exclusively to fashion agency blogs and the photographers who populate them with nubile young yumminess (say "nubile young yumminess" five times fast). We got buns, we got beautiful pouting faces, tattoos and treasure trails galore. I lead with one of the first underwear models I posted about, oh so long ago now it seems: Tyler Riggs and his beautiful tattoo. Taken from photographer William Lord's blog , this one of the...

Sexy couples are the new black, it seems: tres chic; and so I have cast my net wide looking for just that right dash of naughty tossed with a sprig of nice. It's a perilous journey, but someone must face the peril... to victory (and maybe a spanking or two)! Baby, behave! LuciferDemoness never disappoints with her stumbled gallery of edgy kink and rough-around-the-edges tenderness. The mix of tattoos and stubble here is absolutely perfect; and although I am denied my belly button shot, that... Read Full Story
My search statistics fairies whisper softly about the popularity of Tyler Riggs. Unfortunately, I am not in a strong position to provide more, insofar as I am: 1) not in New York; and, 2) not a fashion industry insider. However (in fine blogging tradition), I can identify materials available elsewhere that I believe most worthy of the Gentle Reader's attention (and SEO boosting). Sadly, not much seems to be available. Like Franceso Balestra (and a harem of similarly beautiful specimens from... Read Full Story
Rather than limit myself to one Underwear Model of the Week, this time out I collect them into what we in the business call an "impenetrable twink clump." Inconvenient at night clubs, but nice to look at on the rendered page. Truth told, I couldn't pick between the first two and didn't want to spread them out. So if I was going to have two, why not more? Besides, there are more portfolios on models.com than I thought. One at a time, not getting through.... Nope, ain't gonna happen. So here's...

In this post, I collect shots from some of the portfolios I used to select my Underwear Model(s) of the Week . I'm certainly glad for models.com , but I think more could be done to educate the models on effective photograph submissions. The selections below work, and are intended to satisfy that yaoi itch; but I do find myself wishing this or that had been done a bit differently. This is a very solid shot for Judson V. However, the crop is more constrained than I'd prefer. He's clearly got it... Read Full Story
A number of photography galleries caught my attention this time, and it was very (very) difficult to limit myself to a reasonable number of images. But I faced the peril.... Also included in this digest are a couple of videos. I'm beginning to enjoy YouTube's embed functionality - perhaps too much. First, something "dirty:" I might be inclined to say the model's jeans should also be dirty, but who am I to argue with abs like those? Damn, but Specimenq5 done good. Cold shower! Looking for...
