Yaoi written for women is bad for the same reasons yuri written for men is bad. The mischaracterizations of male sexuality that make the former bad are just much more noticeable than the latter if you're a man.
Then replace that with, "that kind of yaoi/yuri has no grounding in realistic characterization of anyone in existence and is mostly just fantasies derived of horniness"
I actually prefer slash and yaoi type stuff to a lot of gay male erotica. The biggest problem I have with sexy cartoons is that everyone looks too young. It was fun when I was a teenager, but it’s less hot to me now.

wot if "male sexuality" is not a monolith and different males have different sexualities
Then replace that with, "that kind of yaoi/yuri has no grounding in realistic characterization of anyone in existence and is mostly just fantasies derived of horniness"
This is the correct answer
This, for sure. I can never find good yuri, as a wlw
