I would like to suggest another reason why people might have a problem with a yaoi manga that has as protagonists 17 year old boys.
I was reading yaoi manga a couple of years ago so I can tell you that the setting for teenagers tends to be the schools, and for two boys that means mostly boys only schools. You can also find the not-so-subtle indication that with the lack of girls most of the boys turn gay. Add to that the fact that in the stories that are in the PWP (Plot, what plot?) category the whole school is basically gay, and the thoughts of a non-Japanese reader might move towards a similar boys-only settings in their society, such as, let's say the military.
