The Yaoi dictionary
Yaoi
Yaoi is sex between two boys/men. The word yaoi is an acronym of the words
"Yamanashi, Ochinashi, Iminashi", that basically means "no climax, no point, no meaning"
other meaning to the word yaoi is "Yamete! Oshiri ga itai!" (Stop! My bottom hurts)
Shounen-ai(shônen-ai, shoonen-ai, shonen-ai)
Boyslove. Friendship, kissing and cuddling and all that fluffy stuff. Shounen-ai is the nicer, cleaner stuff (compared to yaoi) where yaoi contains erotica.
BL
Boyslove. The new title used for Shounen-ai. After the 90's, all shounen-ai has been known as BL in Japan, as in the west Shounen-ai label is still in use. Lot of manga books are published under BL label instead of shounen-ai these days in the west too.
June
The new western label to define both yaoi and shounen-ai/BL under one name. June is all of it.
