In the Japanese Anime Hijorime My Hero Hasekura "grooms" a charecter called Kensuke
Hasekura grabs and kisses Kensuke without his consent in episode 2
The excuse for kissing him is to explain he is homosexual and likes Kensuke in a homosexual way. But that is a bad excuse, because he could have used words to say he is homosexual instead of grabbing him without his consent to use violent force to kiss him without asking him for consent to be kissed.
Hasekura then threatens to cut ties with Kensuke or in other words not be friends anymore unless he sleeps with him in episode 2.
Sleeps with might be slang for has sex with or could be slang for cuddle with without sex, but probably does not mean to sleep in the same room over night without romantic or erotic intent in this context.
In Episode 3 Kensuko explains he would rather not be friends with Hasekura then the alternative but finally gives into Hasekura's unethical influence and let's Hasekura touch him while in bed having been successfully groomed by Hasekura.

Kousuke greets Hasekura, reminiscing about the old days. Later, Coach Gozu orders Kensuke to help Hasekura gather materials for the next class. Kensuke is annoyed at how nonchalant Hasekura is and gets angry, and Hasekura tells him he isn't really calm and that he misses Kensuke. Hasekura goes to kiss Kensuke but they are interrupted before they can kiss. Oblivious, Kensuke is just happy they have made up and walks home with Hasekura, in which he asks Hasekura if he has a girlfriend for the girls in their class. The next day, Hasekura walks to school with Kensuke but drags him to the side when he believes Kensuke "doesn't get it". He then kisses Kensuke under a bridge, confesses to him and gives him an ultimatum, "sleep with me, or cut ties with me."

Yaoi (/ˈjaʊi/; Japanese: やおい [ja.o.i]), also known by the wasei-eigo construction boys' love (ボーイズ ラブ, bōizu rabu) and its abbreviation BL (ビーエル, bīeru), is a genre of fictional media originating in Japan that features homoerotic relationships between male characters.[a] It is typically created by women for women and is distinct from homoerotic media marketed to gay men, but it does also attract a male audience and can be produced by male creators

Concepts and themes
Rape
Rape fantasy is a theme commonly associated with yaoi.[114] Anal sex is understood as a means of expressing commitment to a partner, and in yaoi, the "apparent violence" of rape is transformed into a "measure of passion".[126] Rape scenes in yaoi are rarely presented as crimes with an assaulter and a victim: scenes where a seme rapes an uke are not depicted as symptomatic of the violent desires of the seme, but rather as evidence of the uncontrollable attraction felt by the seme towards the uke. Such scenes are often a plot device used to make the uke see the seme as more than just a good friend, and typically result in the uke falling in love with the seme.[114]
While Japanese society often shuns or looks down upon women who are raped in reality, the yaoi genre depicts men who are raped as still "imbued with innocence" and are typically still loved by their rapists after the act, a trope that may have originated with Kaze to Ki no Uta.[126] Kristy Valenti of The Comics Journal notes that rape narratives typically focus on how "irresistible" the uke is and how the seme "cannot control himself" in his presence, thus absolving the seme of responsibility for his rape of the uke. She notes this is likely why the narrative climax of many yaoi stories depicts the seme recognizing, and taking responsibility for, his sexual desires.[127] Conversely, some yaoi stories such as Under Grand Hotel subvert the rape fantasy trope entirely by presenting rape as a negative and traumatic act.[128]
A 2012 survey of English-language yaoi fans found that just 15 percent of respondents reported that the presence of rape in yaoi media made them uncomfortable, as the majority of respondents could distinguish between the "fantasy, genre-driven rape" of yaoi and rape as a crime in reality.[65] This "surprisingly high tolerance" for depictions of rape is contextualized by a content analysis, which found that just 13 percent of all original Japanese yaoi available commercially in English contains depictions of rape. These findings are argued as "possibly belying the perception that rape is almost ubiquitous in BL/yaoi."[65]

Analysis
Legal issues
Yaoi has been the subject of disputes on legal and moral grounds. Mark McLelland suggests that BL may become "a major battlefront for proponents and detractors of 'gender free' policies in employment, education and elsewhere",[224] while yaoi artist Youka Nitta has said that "even in Japan, reading boys' love isn't something that parents encourage."[225] In Thailand, the sale of unauthorized reproductions of shōnen-ai manga to teenagers in 2001 led to media coverage and a moral panic.[226] In 2006, an email campaign pressuring the Sakai City Central Library to remove BL works from circulation attracted national media attention, and promoted a debate over removal of BL works constituted a form of discrimination.[224] In 2010, the Osaka Prefectural Government included boys' love manga among with other books deemed potentially "harmful to minors" due to its sexual content,[227] which resulted in several magazines prohibited from being sold to people under 18 years of age.[228]
Anhui TV reported that in China, at least 20 young female authors writing danmei novels on an online novel website were arrested in 2014.[229] In 2018, the pseudonymous Chinese BL novel author Tianyi was sentenced to ten-and-a-half years in prison under laws prohibiting the production of "obscene material for profit."[230][231] Zanghellini notes that due to the "characteristics of the yaoi/BL genre" of showing characters who are often underage engaging in romantic and sexual situations, child pornography laws in Australia and Canada "may lend themselves to targeting yaoi/BL work". He notes that in the UK, cartoons are exempt from child pornography laws unless they are used for child grooming.[95]
