From wikipedia, Yaoi (やおい) is a publishing genre which focuses on male/male relationships. The genre originated in Japan and encompasses manga, anime, novels and dōjinshi. Yaoi directed toward women, the subtype most well-known outside of Japan, is called BL or Boy’s Love. Despite the genre being called Boy’s Love, the males may be of any age, the term for works focused on underage boys being shotacon. Yaoi has spread beyond Japan; yaoi material is available in the United States, as well as other Western and Eastern nations worldwide.
