look up the geek heirarchy.

Right-- it's under the Brunching Shuttlecocks page.

A friend of mine sent the link to me-- C.S. Friedman, if you know who 
that author is (Coldfire Trilogy).  It was funny because she is near 
the top in her authorly pursuits, and yet she occupies other slots as 
a gamer, as she is a Cammie.

She said someone was trying to get her to come to a convention and 
that it was a really big thing.

All our local chapter says is beware the yiff.  Someone in our group-- 
our ex-coordinator, in fact, typed it in, looking for info on other 
gamer types.  Rummaged around and searched the webring she found and 
wound up at beastality.com.  Had a good laugh with her hubby.  They 
still chuckle a bit about it, although I'm surprised he doesn't squirm 
about it more.  He's still a pretty conservative type.

Depends on how one defines "furry," I s'pose.

What's a yiff?

Someone who likes plushies/animals and role playing.

i just don't even understand this thread atall..

furries: anthropimorphic animals.
erotic furries: disney's robin hood, x rated

        I've heard about the "furry" thing, but never met someone who was
actually into it.

resp:7 nice way to put it.  Simple, short, to the point.

I really didn't want to respond to this item, but I do know what "yiff" 
means.  It's furry-ese for "fuck".

Well, i figure there are a lot more of use furries about, but few people will
admit to it openly. Anyway, just thought I would throw out a "different"
thread. ;) 

        Allright, since you've brought it up.  What's a "furry" to you, and
what about it draws you to being one?

dont fuck teddybear!!!!!

But he wants it, oval.  Can't you hear his little moans of pleasure?

Those aren't moans of pleasure, they're squeaky chew-toy sounds.  jeez. 

A furry is a dude or dudette that likes having sex with plush animals (giant
teddy bears and so on) and usually likes erotic roleplaying games where one
uses a furry character. Am not sure why it attracts me, but it does. Maybe I am
just a pervert. 

        I'd known about the - is there a word here for giving something human
animal characteristics - bit, it's a common thread from mythology to
cartoons.  But I'd never heard about the giant teddy bear sex thing. 
Apparently Greg and Oval have;  I know I'll never look at one of those huge
plush prizes at Cedar Point the same way again.

or you'll examine it for white spots first:

Re #23: Anthropomorphize?

I think that's it, yeah.

i'd never heard of this sort of thing until this thread. i just keep picturing
the agora 'veal fucking' discussed earlier, and imagining undoing the seam
in poor teddy's bum and goin at it. is this related to wanting sex with actual
living animals? or only cute, cartoonish ones?

"Anthropomorphise" means to give something human characteristics.
 
The most obvious corollary would be "zoomorphise," but that wouldn't just be
humans, that would be to give anything animal characteristics.

I thought I'd heard the word before. Zoomorphism refers to Gods with animal
parts (particualarly common in Egypt and India):
SYLLABICATION: zo7o7mor7phism 
PRONUNCIATION:   z-mtrfzm 
NOUN: 1. Attribution of animal characteristics or qualities to a god. 2. Use
of animal forms in symbolism, literature, or graphic representation.  
(Bartleby.com/American Heritage Dictionary)

        Zoomorphism.  Thanks, Paul, I knew I could count on you to back me up
on the linguistic angle.

Funny, only part of that is what I know about furries.  Then again I 
have a skewed very point: the furries I learned from also happen to be 
infantilists.

well there's always furrymuck

Most furries aren't actually zoophiles (the guys who like real live animals).
You can see one of us in action at: www.ratatak.com/bizarre/?show=MVC-066S.jpg
:)

I've heard of a distinction made between zoophiles and bestialists. The former
have intimate relationships with animals, with or without sex (a zoophile I
knew was in love with a spayed dog, and wouldn't have sex with her because
of her condition, out of reespect to her); the latter don't have emotional
ties, they just like to fuck non-humans.

I've known about the concept of furries for a long time, but somehow I always
associated it with, like, anthropomorphic sci-fi aliens who happened to be
(at least partially) covered in fur, rather than plush toys.  Maybe I just
read the wrong bad fantasy novels growing up. 

Some are into that. There are variations in furries as in everything else. And
yes, there is a distinction between zoophiles and bestialists, but most people
wouldn't get to the point where they are picky enough to pinpoint the
difference. 

        Wow, that's cool.  I have another picture to send if I ever get stuck
in another escalating weirdness contest.

        I'd never heard about the plush toys angle, either.  I guess it's
kinda obvious now that you mention it, but it never occured to me.  I'd
always thought it was one of those more abstract fantasy-ish kinks.

resp #35: That's more like what I heard.

right.  The first time I'd heard anything about it was from one of my 
sisters (that would be Jen, Greg) who said there was a guy who had 
leopard spots tattooed onto his body, and was getting permanently 
affixed fangs.

I'm sure there is varying degrees of seriousness, and you never know 
where they may be (your city, maybe)?  I thought Eastern Washington 
was considered a cultural wasteland, but I remember finding out some 
gay porn star/swinger lived or traveled around my old hometown area.  
He had orange stripes lining his lower torso.  *shrug* don't think 
that qualifies him as a furry, but..
