It depends. How big of a part is the yaoi? If it's quite a big part of it, chances are you are further down the sliding scale than you think and have some homosexual tendencies.
That doesn't mean you want to run off and suck a cock immediately, just that you have some thoughts or interest towards such a thing.
If the main focus is not the yaoi and the romance is just another element to the story then you just accept that homosexuality is a style of romance and you just enjoy the story for the story.
So it's mostly just how big of a part of the story it is.
Well, I'm talking about full yaoi manga. Like the ones in manga sites, where it's all about the man x man relationship.
Then you have some homosexual tendencies and have some interest in such acts. It's really not uncommon for men it's just that in today's society men are suppose to be 'men' so many feel they have to only like women and only be interested in women.
However, I'm not a guy. I'm a girl. And even if I was, many straight girls enjoy yaoi and not yuri, just like most guys enjoy yuri and not yaoi. So this theory of 'enjoiyng homoerotci material = homosexual tendencies' isn't valid. Or they wouldn't be looking at characters of the opposite sex having homosexual relationships. But it's still your opinion so it's valid for you.
This kinda reminds me of the 'erotic rape vs reality rape' debate.
It's similar because one doesn't mean the other.
