>>76324914I actually think YOU'RE the one that's viewing this from a male lens.
>The dynamic is secondary if they all look like prettyboys or are switches.This is exactly what I'm talking about.
They all look like prettyboys because their looks aren't what makes the dynamic. How they act with each other is what makes the dynamic.
In other words, the dynamic is HIGHLIGHTED by the fact that they all look like prettyboys.
Also, "switches" are a cultural myth.
A woman who likes to be taken out to dinner and bought things while also liking to be dominated during sex isn't a fucking 'switch'. That is normal limbic behavior.
Submission to a partner that has been preselected for dominance is only limbically sexually arousing to women if they determine that man to be safe.
It is an evolutionary mechanism.
There is no such thing as 'switches' objectively, there is only normal behavior and fetishes.
Your problem is that you are thinking about this from the male gaze standpoint.
Your looking at the men in yaoi, seeing the lack of Chad-like physical traits, and assuming that the sexual dynamics are non-important because of it, and that yaoi's appeal is no different than that of an obscene taboo or fucked-up fetish for mentally ill people.
This isn't how the women who write and read yaoi think about it. It isn't about gay sex at all.
It illustrates a massive sexual asymmetry between men and women that most dudes never come close to grasping,
If you want to know more about this without me rambling, look up how the salience network in the female brain reacts differently based on dominance prelection in the different phases of the menstural cycle.
They are hardwired to preselect a dominant male, and then prone them for saftey before limbic arousal is possible.
Arousal is far more cognitive than visual with women, and their social dominance detection is far superior than men's is. Even preschool girls who haven't even developed sex drive outperform men at it.
