Furries Make The Most Of Their Animalistic Desires

Hey baby, I promise I don’t have rabies. Furries are people who dress up in animal costumes in order to take on the persona of that animal. Although this fandom might appear as odd to those outside of the culture, the vast majority of humans tend to anthropomorphize as a way of understanding and interpreting the world. Furries just take this interest a step further. However, as the fandom grows and becomes more popular in mainstream society, some Furries worry about the fandom’s popularity and the effect it can have on its reputation. Yet, it can be argued that increased awareness and popularity of Furry in mainstream culture can result in increased public acceptance and lead to less negativity towards the fandom. However, if Furry fandom becomes too mainstream, it could lose its appeal and fail to attract new members and retain current Furries.

During the earlier days of the Furry Fandom, fans used to gather mostly at science fiction, fantasy, and comic conventions, before parties broke out into full-fledged furry conventions. The fandom for Furry characters traces its organization back to a science fiction convention in 1980 when a drawing of a character from Steve Gallacci’s Albedo started a discussion of anthropomorphic characters in science fiction novels. This spawned a discussion group that met at various science fiction and comics conventions to discuss the aspect of Furry life. As the Internet became more accessible, it became the most popular means for Furry fans to keep in touch and share their artistic efforts. This increased higher visibility for the fandom and it began to grow rapidly.

Near the beginning of the 1980’s, the furry genre enjoyed the first explosion of popularity it had seen since the 1930’s. Furry characters littered the animation world as well as toy stores. But there was also adult furry entertainment. Today, those Furry fans who have discovered the large concentration of fellow fans on the net have joined with them to create the virtual society that is the collective furry community. Confessions of more unusual sexuality and lifestyle have also been noted in the furry community, and though the majority of furry fans will attempt to be tolerant, certain sexual practices will stretch the tolerance of certain furry fans to the breaking point.

There seems to be this conception of the furry as a highly erotic, sex-obsessed fandom. Like there’s just gotta be something nefarious and kinky going on underneath all the cheery, cartoonish suits. I don’t even know where this idea came from for me or why it felt so prominent, but everyone seems to have it.

People enjoy being a Furry for a variety of reasons. Some like the anonymity and being able to express themselves in a manner that’s different from their real-life persona. Others are aroused by the animalistic outfits and turned on by the sexualized aspects of roleplay or their partners’ furry characteristics. Some like to keep things online and computerized, while others enjoy role-playing in animal suits made for arousal and to express their erotic urges sexually. There are even furry erotic movies. Furry expression is a wonderful way to express creative fantasy urges in a safe and harmless manner. One common misconception is that these people have some underlying mental health issue, there’s no evidence to suggest this. Another false belief is they enjoy actual sexual contact with animals, which is completely incorrect.
