You talk to guys and they don't start comparing notes on porn or hentai (at least not the ones I know). Ecchi is about on the same level as Yaoi, and I wouldn't be so keen on spending time with the people obsessed with that either.
At least Moe is not so brazenly sexual in it's intent. Moe is easier to compare to two girls discussing why a particular character is cute, whereas Yaoi is all about girls discussing about how they wish this guy would finally pop that guy's cherry.

I don't know... we do have threads to discuss eroge (though I suppose the conversation usually centers on something other than the "porn", or the porn-driven games), and some of the light novels/manga (and some of the anime) that people discuss are pretty darn explicit. Obviously we don't allow straight up "adult content" on this site, but I think people do talk about it. I'm not sure that it's so healthy to be so ashamed about it either, or that there's nothing worth really talking about because it's "indefensible". Perhaps bringing this sort of topic up when it's contextually inappropriate or whatever might rightfully annoy, but it seems a bit... I don't know... repressive? to argue that people can have whatever fantasies they want but "just don't talk about it because it's undignified". Part of me wants to say that's all the more reason to talk about it. In fact, perhaps that's part of the reason we have fujoshi in the first place; the more vulgar the fantasy, the more it goes against what the stereotypical "good girl" is supposed to think/say.
