And then there's Asagi Ryuu's stuff, I'm not sure who he's aiming his stuff at.
I like some of his stuff... but I don't like any of the sex-moments he makes...
I think it's pretty rare for a straight guy to like yaoi, or a straight girl to like yuri though, or at least it seems like it would be.
Well, for straight girls... I'd say that the cute factor makes it more accessible, compared to yaoi for straight dudes.
Is it rare for a guy to be a yuri fan?
Well... The biggest exposure of yuri a guy usually gets is anime and hentai, but there are problems with this...
Anime, the most recognizable yuri romances are just too vague... or... not very good (don't crucify me). Other yuri elements are there for the sake of comedy or fanservice, which usually does not create any desire for more of it, it is just a treat, eye candy.
Hentai (animated), most guys tend to insert (no pun intended) themselves into the situation, where in yuri they cannot (Personally I cannot do this even with guy x girl stuff). Also, as someone who likes love-filled cute hentai (e.g. the Sono Hanabira OVA for yuri), I can say that yuri elements in hentai are HORRIBLE, I looked way too far into it to accept this...
Guys like the little yuri they get, but just as a treat, not enough to make them fans of it.
My interest was sparked by the Sasameki Koto anime, I looked around for suggestions and watched (tried to watch) the most popular yuri (and shoujo ai). Also read the most recommended mangas Girl Friends (and other stuff by Moringa) + Sasameki Koto, nothing really gripped me.
Then I stumbled upon the anime: Kanamemo while looking for comedies, i know the anime is terrible and not so well known... but I am fond of it (the manga is great tho). There is where I found exactly what I love the most, a serious (already together) and really cute lesbian couple who had a good amount of screen time, I loved it. Yume x Yuuki made me a yuri fan.
I looked for the manga and found it on this site, where I noticed that most of the stuff is yuri.

And here I am today... Re-reading loads of yuri mangas cuz I have way too much free time.
(I might have drifted away of the topic a bit in my rambling)
