Yaoi

Also known as Boy's Love, BL, gay romance, and so on.

Compare and contrast to yuri.

People usually use yaoi to mean anime porn of two guys. But I think yaoi can be 2+ boys, 2+ girls, any number of guys and girls, or 2+ unknown entities that have spawned in your biome. What are they doing? Who knows. Doesn't have to be porn. Maybe they're really good friends. Or maybe they play tonsil hockey with each other at 3am.
It doesn't even have to be in anime style (whatever that means) - though some western otaku may insist yaoi must be drawn in a certain art style they associate with the East Asian cartoons they pirate.

Okane Ga Nai is just as yaoi as Breaking Bad. If you disagree you are a weeb.

  • Suit Seme: This stereotype comes from the perceived professional look and power that an anglo-style business suit gives the wearer - which people may associate with a dominant personality, and dominant personalities are associated with being the “active” partner in bed.
