About Yuri :)

Japanese popular entertainment displays a fascination with gender ambiguity, perhaps understandably in a culture where gender roles are still quite strictly defined. Androgyny, transvestism and homosexuality are successfully marketed to a primarily straight audience in Japan.

"Yuri" is what Lesbian romance in Japanese comic books (manga) and animation (anime) are called. It literally means "lily"; lilies traditionally symbolize Lesbianism in Japanese culture. (Chrysanthemums symbolize gay male romance.) It ranges from quite innocent schoolgirl crushes (shoujo ai) to explicit erotica (hentai).

But one refreshing aspect of yuri is that much of it blithely ignores the complications of being gay and gets right to the fun stuff: romance. This is partly because Japan does not share the Western taboo on homosexuality. Homosexuals are still expected to marry and reproduce, as it is their duty to their families, but covert homosexual activity is tolerated as easily as extramarital heterosexual affairs.

Wow, informative stuff on a shemale forum.

Excellent info....who knew??? Oh..nice pics too!

I think you forgot to mention 1 little detail which many people tend to ignore, yuri has nothing to do with girls having penises(with any signs of them being real).

Im not sure people actually tend to ignore this fact. At least from the forums and sites I stem from there has never seemed to be any confusion. I just always believed it to be common knowledge.

thank you for the explanation :hallo:

these girls are so cute and lovely.

It's funny how yuri means lesbian is Japanese...but Yuri in Russian is usually
a man's name :rolf:
