Attraction to Anthros - Is this Unusual?

[NightWolf20]

It is a matter of opinion, really. And there is some, albeit imperfect, logic to the argument. Bestiality is sexual attraction to animals, and anthros are partly animals. But I must stress the word "partly" to appeal to anyone who tries to make the connection. When you think about it, anthropomorphs are only animals on the surface. Beneath the skin, it's purely human, wouldn't you say? The fur and such is just a covering for what is essentially an intelligent, human-like being.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't attracted to anthros in many senses of the word. Depending on the setting, I would/would not feel weird about it. Of course I don't say how I'd want to do dog-people with mixed company at the dinner table.

 

[triage]

whatever

as long as you're not in public saying "hi i'm ____ i have a fetish for dog dicks" i don't really care

if you got a fetish for it. well, you got it. not my business. please don't force it or make it seem like i want it to be my business. i don't. stop telling me about it.

 

[ErikutoSan]

No it's normal for other furries to like it...I mean why else would you be in the fandom if you had no interest in it at all?


Just don't take it to far...

Hey, no skin off my bones. If you don't care, then you don't care. I won't make you listen to what I have to say. The curiosity was just bugging me. Believe me, I did not expect this to go on for so long. lol

The thread, I mean.

Uh thread title says attraction to anthros not dog dicks. Two vastly different things.

 

[triage]

anthropomorphic dog dicks then

 

[NightWolf20]

anthropomorphic dog dicks then

Uh, I prefer females actually. And as i pointed out earlier, facial features are more important than anything else.

 

[ErikutoSan]

Facial features....Well then.....................

 

[NightWolf20]

Of course, it's not the only thing. It just makes the top of my list.

 

[Grunnolf]

an example for me would be Holo from spice and wolf

Re: thread title;

Not really. Anyone here who say's they're a furry but doesn't at least find the whole point of the fucking fandom interesting is being stupid for the sake of it.

 

[Grunnolf]

nice avatar make it have longer hair and your good to go =P

 

[NaxThewolf (mike)]

hrm i think the word yiff is mentioned somewere in this thread XD i dont think beastiality should come into the whole thing as its a bit daft but hey theres stranger things out there............. (aka i do not like beastiality) ps. my grammer still sucks

 

[KobuMutt]

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're asking a group of people who are more or less attracted to anthro characters, so the consensus here is going to be that it isn't unusual. It's pretty unusual when you consider normal people though. Not to say I don't love being a furry, but it's pretty weird.

 

[Em1l]

Pretty common around here I would have thought, as people have already said. So by furry standards I'd say its pretty normal

 

[DragonFU]

I think I get off to anything, still not a furry though.

You're right, we are weird. :V

 

[Andy Dingo Wolf]

I just adore the female figure, and in some cases, male. Rare for both.

And that's just for art. In real life I'm as asexual as they come.

 

[Ozriel]

Unless you have a Waifu pillow of Krystal and kiss/dry hump it every night, then no. It isn't strange.

I consider Anthro creatures another species of humanoids, like Twileks and Zabaraks...or elves and orcs.
If Fapping to Anthro Animals is Bestiality, then fapping to Orc and Twilek porn makes you one too. :V

 

[Ranguvar]

If I wasn't attracted to anthros I wouldn't be here. But seriously, dog people=hawt

 

[benignBiotic]

As has already been said it may be unusual for the general public, but it's not at all unusual for a furry to have a physical attraction to anthros. I'm attracted to anthros that way and I rationalize it as follows: Being attracted to humans is natural of course. But we have a just as natural curiosity with the rest of the animal kingdom. We admire their grace, strength, and mystique. They are out distant relatives of course. Anthros represent both the familiar (with their human attributes) and the exotic (other-animal attributes) which is what really draws me to them. They're like us in appearance and intellect, but have a connection to the extra-human. Sort of surprised myself with that insight...

I mean-- "cuz their hawt".

Correction, Bestiality is the act and is illegal in most nations. Zoophilia is attraction to animals and could be described simply as one of many fetishes in some cases. The attraction to anthros /can/ be borne of some form of zoophilia but not necessarily. For example, I think for me it stems primarily from demisexuality. The anthro form depersonalizes it a little, so the yiff/porn/whateverthefuckyouwanttocallit actually works for me. This is in contrast to the "real thing" only serving to make me feel awkward.

 

[fbocabral]

well, nothing to add to the topic that wasn't already said, I guess... but I wanted to ask something:
do you think people mistakes the furry fandom for zoophilia? You see, I am a vet student, and I'm afraid people around me mistakes me for some maniac or anything like that.
I know it is completly different stuff. I feel atracted to anthro, but I don't even like ferals and I'm definetly not into animals. But you know... people are ignorant...

And here1s something that happens to me that I think it's kinda funny: For the real life, I like women a lot more than men. But in the fandom, I'm the opposite 0.o

Yes lots of the people who know about the furryfandom do mistake it for zoophilia because they rush to the erroneous conclusion that
-it involves animals
-it clearly involves sex
-hence it must be about sex with animals, because let's face it the actual fandom is intensely boring if you're an outsider, whilst debauchery is sensational.

Your last comment is interesting, I used to claim the same thing when I thought I was heterosexual, but now I haven't a clue about real life and feel very homosexual inside the fandom. I put it down to social expectation of sexuality 'red shifting' my attitudes; the two groups clearly have very different expectations.
Which of the two represent any 'true' vestige of a sexual orientation? Beats me.
