What is yaoi?!
Question: Yaoi is is the term used to describe manga or anime with strong, graphically portrayed homo-erotic themes involving men. In otherwords, yaoi is pornographic Anime featuring men with men. Unlike North American gay-porn, the target audience for yaoi is female. The word yaoi is actually an acronym of "Yama nashi, Ochi nashi, Imi nashi" (No climax, no point, no meaning), this is because yaoi, much like other forms of pornography, and unlike shounen-ai, often focuses exclusively on the sex, with only the minimal necessary story.
Of late, it has become increasingly popular in North America for shounen-ai titles to be labelled "yaoi," both by fans and distributors.

Yaoi is basically guy to guy or gay. Yuri is girl to girl.
Basically Akatsuki Freak is right. But if you want to learn about it for real you should go to this site..
-Also I think you should ask this certain user on Yahoo! Answers >> irebun_kun << she knows quite a bit about yaoi.
Boy on boy. More focus on the sexual relationship between to main male character, sexually explicit. In short gay hentai. Some people refer to anything that has a homosexual relationship as the main romance Yaoi, but thats not the case. Please I beg you not to confuse Yoai with Shonen Ai(Boys love).
