yay sacrificial wimmin s
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..
The guy you're thinking of calls himself Cat. Original, huh?
I never thought of him as a "furry" though; he seemed more like one
of those extreme body modification enthusiasts, with a particular theme. He
hasn't mentioned anything about being into other people who are catlike, or
animallike, in any of the inverviews that I've seen or read, and attributes
his passion to a tribal upbringing.
Ah, okay..
I forget what the porn star calls himself, tho.
What porn star?
I was hoping someone'd take me up on the statement that Cat's just an
extreme body modifier or modern primitive and not a furry. Shame.
There's a Leopard guy who has his entire body tattooed, and lives somewhere in the UK in a remote area. As remote as you can get in the UK, that is.
Sounds like one of my old roommates. ;)
Re #43: I was thinking about it, but I realized most of my arguments would be based on pretty shallow demographics. My intuition runs something like: Knows UNIX? Furry. Goes to punk shows? Body mod enthusiast. Does both? Flip a coin. The "Leopard guy" was in the Guinness book of records when last I read it, for having the greatest percentage of his skin tattooed. He's got plain yellow inked in between the spots, so there's ink covering upwards of 90% of his skin. I don't recall where he doesn't have it, although I suspect he might have everything but eyelids and genitals covered.
I don't know. There are a lot of punk, gothic, and industrial fans
in the technology sector - quite possibly because it's one of the only
decent-paying jobs where you can learn on your own and wear what you choose
- who would have to get all dark and stompy on the plush animal abusers. My
guess is that anyone who's gone through that degree of body modification has
to be an enthusiast of it; it's too great a thing to ask of someone who
isn't in love with the idea.
resp:43 the other guy I was talking about with the tiger stripes. I didn't feel like engaging in a debate about Cat's existence as a furry.. to wit, I don't have full definitions of what a furry is and isn't. If he doesn't feel akin to mating with animals, or doesn't believe he *is* an animal partly in soul, that deflates a lot of the argument. Sorry.
You have several choices:
