"Stop! My butt hurts!"

While innocently surfing YouTube this afternoon, I stumbled upon hundreds of videos montaging Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy together in scintillatingly sexual positions. Wha...?

Two seconds later I was on Wikipedia learning all about this Japanese fan genre called "Yaoi" which is also known affectionately as, "Yamete! Oshiri ga itai!" or "Stop! My butt hurts!" Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore.

Yaoi (やおい) is a publishing genre, which originated in Japan and often encompasses manga, dōjinshi, anime, and fan art. It focuses on homosexual relationships between male characters and is generally sexually explicit.

Content ranges from ordinary romantic situations with mild adult content to subgenres containing extreme fetishism, including anthropomorphism, cosplay, nonconsensual sex or "non-con", monsters, incest, orgies, shotacon, and various other taboo depictions of male homosexuality. - Wikipedia

A little more research showed that there are about 8000 Yaoi videos on YouTube and 184 of them involve Harry Potter (many of them made by a Polish girl named Paula). Here are some of my favs:

Yaoi and Justin Timberlake's Sexy back
Yaoi Mix
L-O-V-E (Ron is in this one!)
Harry and Draco - Saving Me
Harry Potter: Kiss the Draco
Harry Potter; I'm the Sex Machine

Apparently, Harry and Draco make a perfect Yaoi pairing because there is always a (seme) dominant male and a (uke) submissive girly man. As in martial arts, one is the attacker and one is the receiver, or bottom and top if you like. Two guesses which role simpering Harry plays:

The seme is often depicted as the stereotypical male of anime and manga culture: restrained, physically powerful, and/or protective. The seme usually has a stronger chin, shorter hair, smaller eyes, and a more masculine demeanor than the uke.

The uke is usually more androgynous or effeminate in appearance and demeanor and is often smaller and sometimes unrealistically girlish in behavior. The uke generally falls in love before the seme does. - Wikipedia

Days like today I love YouTube just a little bit more. Peel back one little corner of it and there is a thriving sub-culture to explore. Thanks YouTube, for the fun you provide to montage-crazed perverts like me all over the world!

at the risk of sounding more knowledgeable than I care to, this type of erotic mashup is referred to as "slash" in english. as in "draco/harry."

hmm..aren't slash and yaoi different? i thought slash was writing stories about fictional characters being gay and getting it on - i think there are a bunch based on Buffy. i love it that obsessed fans take their shows to the next level. hee hee.
