Are u talking about yuri or the yaoi now? If ur looking for yaoi and such then Gravation and Kingdom Come are some good titles. There's a thread floating around here somewhere about yaoi and yuri on here and it has a bunch of titles, check that out when u get the time^^;

I meant yuri or well not really yuri but the yuri version of shonen-ai.

It is called Shoujo-ai. Shoujo meaning girl, Ai meaning love. One of my favorite manga genres.

It may be my favorite genre, but they are somewhat difficult to find, at least for me. I read a lot of shoujo-ai one shots. As for actual series, I don't think I could tell you one that you could find without using means of questionable legality. Also, some of the series border on yuri.
A series called Kashi Mashi was licensed not too long ago, and should soon be available in the U.S.

Like Xero said, Kashimashi is a good one, I suppose...I mean, its really about a boy who gets turned into a girl (by aliens) and then two of his/her friends, who are girls, fall in love with him/her. Another good one, that I like, is Strawberry Panic!.
I'm not sure where you live, but I've watched both those animes on the internet (youtube and another site that I can't remember. PM me if you want it. I'll hunt it down for you.)

I usually use boxtorrents to get anime. But the only have unlicensed animes there I think since it isn't legal to download licensed ones.

There is Shojo-Ai and Shonen-Ai. Yuri and yaoi. I think they're spelled correctly...

you could always try the series called maria sama ga miteru...and maria sama ga miteru spring...also probably my hime...which isn't shoujo ai but has some fxf pairings...strawberry panic is another series...revolutionary girl utena and Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito...theres also a really cute shoujo ai series i read...forgot the name of the manga though...
Thank alot! erm.. since it is one of your favorite generes.. mind sharing the name of some good series? ^^;Meh, Shoujo ai > Shounen ai; Yuri > Yoai. There's a hardcore difference-but anyway
Try Kanazuki no Miko, Mai HiME and Strawberry Panic. Those are great Shoujo ai anime/manga that are out. http://www.animegalleries.net/bbs/images/smilies/smile.gif
