Attraction to Anthros - Is this Unusual?

It's actually kind of embarrassing to say (I don't really know why), but for some reason, I can find myself as attracted to both human and anthro characters in any fiction. In the real world, I favor human beings of course. :3
But it just feels weird to me. I even find myself attracted to the characters I create when writing. It's nothing fetishy, but I can look at an anthro character and think, "Wow, she is beautiful!"
I gotta know... is this a common thing in the fandom, or am I right to feel weird about it? If you're the same, do you have any favorites? For me, Krystal, Blaze, and Tekal round out the top 3 outside of my own work.

You don't have to feel weird about it, especially if it's nothing fetishy. People can be attracted to various things that'd be considered weirder.
As for it being a common thing in the fandom... I'm sure the fandom wouldn't exist if it weren't.

This is normally the part where I get really sarcastic, but I'm feeling unusually peaceful right now.

Suffice to say, that is nothing out of the ordinary for furries; it's probably more common than not.

Not unexpected.
My interest tend to snowball though. :)

That's comforting. I'm rather new to the fandom, as you can tell, and I don't know any local furs, so I just felt the need to ask. And feel free to let loose with any sarcasm in the future. I'll just fire back. XD

I think I'd call it a bit more than aesthetic, actually. I have found myself attracted to their personalities too, and catch myself daydreaming a little.

@Ricky, good point. I guess the embarrassment comes from discussions and regular ball-busting from my AP, and the fear of history repeating itself and my (mostly) tame attraction spiraling into an obsession.

Ah, screw it! Anthros need lovin' too! haha XD

So for me, no.

Honestly, it would only be unusual if you associated with the fandom and didn't have some sort of attraction to them.

It's okay for it to even be an obsession. Just don't let it get to a point where it brings you down in life.

Yea dont be concered, for whatever reason most people are into the art for some reason, i mean anthro-art has been around since ancient times and Im sure our ancestors even masturbated to animal-human drawings or costumry as well. JUST LIKE YOU HAHAHAHA, so dont bring yourself down bro

Kind of like an invisible friend, with its own independent thoughts and desires, and able to fully interact with you. And that has a chance to go completely wrong and utterly insane.

That's assuming it's not all a bunch of rubbish people just like to pretend works to feel special, something they can post about on tumblr, but the essential idea has been around for a long long time. But if you're actively trying to do that, then yes, it's safe to say you're going a bit far.

So kind of like an imaginary friend or a deity.

Suppose it suggests people doing that are literally trying to make their interest the centre of their devotion.

Feeling Loki with it.
Personally I just adore the female figure and making that figure a bit anthro still keeps the base attractions there due to the innate programming.

I actually kinda have one of those. Sorta. It's not a pony, though, and I only ever conjure her when I feel like I need guidance on a subject I'm not willing to discuss with an actual person.

To date, I've only invoked her three or four times. The rest of the time she doesn't exist.

That's pretty much how it is for me.
