...with yaoi-girls and/or (female) m/m fans. Of those you've known/met in the subculture who prefer the m/m and avoid the m/f, have any of them ever explained the reasoning behind their preference? Beyond just the younger version of "well, m/f is icky" or the lazier version of "I just don't like m/f". Anything more in-depth, more honest, more insightful?

Because the only explanations I've ever gotten amount to variations on those two, and that's not much substance when it comes to deconstructing what, exactly, is going on for readers with the preference.

t I find it amusing that nearly all replies here have assumed I mean m/m within the context of fandom... and in fact I meant in general -- as in, including pseudo-gay-romance.

Yes, but I only know about it in fandom. :) I don't encounter it in the other contexts you describe. So I can only speak whereof I know.

whois
