The two most popular parallels drawn are “it’s just a hobby” or “it’s just a kink.” With perhaps the most widely accepted perception being that it’s a blend of both and how much depends on the individual. This seems to be a greater phenomenon than is typically seen in other kink or social interest groups.Īs furry becomes more mainstreem there’s an effort by practically everyone to explain it in terms others can easily relate to inorder to gain acceptance or promote exclusion. However I would like to make the case that for a very large portion of the community, furry is an integral part of their personal and or sexual identity.

This is one of the advantages of furry being a largely sex-positive community.įurry YouTuber Ragehound even has a series about Furries After Dark if you want to learn more about these topics. If you’re curious about why and how people express their sexuality when fursuiting (also called “murrsuiting”), there’s a subreddit for that. One of the most well-funded Patreon artists makes adult furry games. If you’re looking for something more interactive, there’s a swath of furries that develop private VR experiences for 18+ audiences. If you’re looking for pornographic furry art (also called “yiff”), most furry art sites ( FurryLife, FurAffinity, etc.) have adult content filters that you can turn off when you register an account. Important: If you’re under the age of 18, you should stay out of adult spaces until you’re old enough to participate. Where Can I Learn More About the Sexual Side of the Furry Fandom? The next time someone tries to appeal to “science” when talking about trans rights and then vomits up some unenlightened K-12 explanation of human reproduction and biological sex, remind them that science disagrees with their oversimplified and outdated mental model–and they might know this if they kept up with scientists. Trans and nonbinary people change gender (which is about your role within society) from what they were assigned at birth, but even sex itself isn’t so concrete. “Oh but it’s so rare to be in between that we might as well have two sexes and two genders” nah try 1 in 100 individuals having some form of atypical sexual development, before we even take gender identity into account- juni ??? OctoThis entire thread is highly recommended. Early anti-furry sentiments were motivated by queerphobia, especially on forums like Something Awful–and the influence of early hateful memes can still be seen to this day.Approximately 80% of furries are LGBTQIA+ ( source).To understand what’s really happening here, you need to know a few things about the furry fandom. So while this might be a meaningless question, one has to wonder… Why Does Everyone Care So Much If Being a Furry (In Particular) Is Sexual or Not? Even tupperware parties, for fuck’s sake! Anyone who believes there is a “ Rule 34 of the Internet” tacitly acknowledges this fact, even if it’s inconvenient for a narrative they’re trying to spin. Humans are largely sexual, so any activity humans engage in will inevitably involve people sexualizing it. “We have murrsuits for crying out loud! Stop kink-shaming! Down with puritan ideologies on sex!” And this is also true. If you’re concerned with cultivating a sex-positive environment where people can live out their sexual fantasies in a safe, sane, and consensual manner, you’re incentivized to insist that furry is a sexual thing. If you’re chiefly concerned with public image–especially when fursuiting in public, where kids can see–you’re incentivized to double down on the fact that the furry fandom is no more inherently sexual than anything else can be. Instead, the question of whether or not the furry fandom is sexual becomes a bit of a Rorschach test for one’s cognitive biases. Humans are largely a sexual species, and sex is deeply ingrained in our culture (which can make life awkward for asexual people). The more you read about this topic, the more you’ll realize this question is inert.
