I became a yaoi fangirl in college, because I had a crush on a girl who wrote GW slash. *laugh* That aside, I like yuri/hentai/ecchi work as well. (May I recommend Claudine by Ikeda Riyoko? Different from the rest of the yuri out there and worth a re-read as well.)
So, to the point, on the reasoning behind the m/m stuff: 1)it was something out of the ordinary at the time, 2)there is a LOT of it available, so one never runs out of reading material, 3)it became amusing to see the lengths to which yaoi could get (have you seen the Micky Mouse/Tom doujinshi? anything by Sakurai Shushushu is a good laugh, too), 4)I happen to have a thing for long-haired males making love. Either with a female with a boys-cut or another male, or heck, several people, I don't really care. ^^ 5)The only decent SM work I have read happens to be m/m.
If that was more details than you were looking for or off-tangent, my apologies. *bows*
