Did the fandom make you Gay/Bi?

[Arcane hollow]

I'm would say i'm Bi when it comes to anthros but straight when i see humans.

 

[Jakkob]

I believe it was Zen's art that allowed me to convince myself I found both Sexes Sexy. But Sexuality is weird like that, you just have to find the right person at the right time.

 

[brrrr]

Very few female furs am I attracted to...mostly male furries.

But then humans I find females much more attractive than I do males.

It's..wierd. I don't think the art really had anything to do with it though. I think that art in general can express fantasy elements (besides the obvious anthro specs) to the point where attempting to label a sexuality in a realistic light, based on furries, would be too difficult. (fe)male humans and (fe)male furries share very little in common in my opinion. It'd be too difficult to pin a sexual preference on one or the other, and then ask if it directly reflects your views on the opposing.

I certainly think it can open yourself up and be more true to yourself, but I dunno if it's directly related to a person's preferences...but who knows.

I find most real pornographic videos to be pretty bland. It's like "here look at these two people get paid to fuck. They don't even like each other."

With furry porn there are little stories made up for it. Sometimes reoccurring characters. It has a lot more work put into it. I guess that's it.

I need emotion in my porn >.>; Though getting homemade porn videos online is alright. Those are real haha.

 

[Mirka]

I've always been gay, even long before I discovered furry.

Low budget is low budget, no matter humans or furries.

But that's with all porn really. Furry or not, it wouldn't change poor acting or poor dialogue. My expectations for "adult entertainment" is that they're visually appealing. Dialogue, plot, and emotion is irrelevant to me, because I already know that any of those elements added into pornography will end up killing it. This is true on both accounts. Furs are lifeless dolls until someone breathes personality into them, and breaking it down only tells you that they're just given a roll similiar to that of a pornstar, strictly speaking pornography..mind you.

Just how I see it. I never really brought pornography from either side into my reasoning, because it is so very very very fake.

Haha, we must be wired differently. I'm all psychological and emotional.

 

[brrrr]

Ah don't get me wrong, I look at a person's emotions and personality very deeply, and hold both in high regards. I can connect with a person and bond with them much more because of that.

But if we were talking porn, then...I'm gonna throw out any psychological and emotional aspects. Both seem to never do well in pornography. I guess there's a time and place for everything.

 

[devils]

i realized that i was gay about three years before i found the fandom. i never really had any attraction to females, even though i had to lie to my friends because i didn't want them to find out. the fandom just gave me a new way to express it and feel open about it when i can't be around my friends/family.

 

[GoreKitten]

I turned bi (after being a lesbian for SO LONG) after some particular fursonas I saw.

I like tall, nerdy guys now. *shifty eyes*

Yay! for the tall nerdy guys!!!

 

[Hunter Fox]

I thought I was Bi before finding the fandom. But after finding the fandom and the artwork, that pretty much finalized the fact that I am Bi.

 

[Nazm]

I was...I didn't know what I was for the longest time. Girls did nothing for me and even the thought of liking guys made me guilty. All I got was negative opinions about gays kicked at me at every turn. When I got the internet my junior year in highschool I eventually looked up porn...I found myself staring at the guy more often and that started to scare me so I stopped with porn again. Shortly thereafter I stumbled upon furry porn and since it wasn't real there was no guilt associated with it. After a long road I finally opened up to myself about really being gay. The openness of the fandom to gays really REALLY helped me with the guilt. It let me see beyond my town of 500 and the extreme conservative christian ideas that were fed to me at every turn. I started off labling myself as bi on the internet, because I was still scared. Actually /b/ helped me too. There is soooo many tits and vaginas on /b/ that I couldn't deny that they did nothing for me. Eventually I let this carry over to the real world where I'm still dealing with being gay, but I'm finally happy that I'm finding myself.

I could replace two words from this paragraph and it would fit my description almost exactly. First, I grew up in a town of 300 people, and second, I first got on the internet around my freshman year of high-school.

I still have trouble being open about it, though. I'm 22 now and only a select few of my friends really know, around 5 or 6. You seem like you dealt (are dealing?) with it faster than me. Maybe that's because I lurked for years in the fandom, never saying a word. Maybe it's because I've always been way too shy, and that has gotten me nowhere fast.

I just moved to an entirely new town, though, and I've vowed that anyone who cares to ask about my sexuality will get the truth from the start.

I'm glad that your happy and figuring things out.

I have some really good friends and a boyfriend to help me out.

FORTY-NINE PEOPLE ARE IN DENIAL!!

 

[Camisado]

Nope, I'm still straight. But this fandom is trying REALLY hard to turn me into a bisexual! o__o

 

[Irreverent]

No budget is better. Home made, dorm, what have you. You see something you don't ever see in comerical porn of any grade.....passion. People that like and want each other.

I find anathro art the same. There's a huge difference between the uber-talented artist trying to crash a deadline with their next graphic story arc and a starving student just doodling, pouring out heart and soul.

Generalizations to be sure, but I think the examples hold.

 

[enchantedtoast]

Hmm.... I think the first male I was ever attracted to was Max Goof. But it was mostly Link who made me really interested in guys. So later when I found the furry fandom it didn't turn me gay, but it was one of the things that helped me to realize that I was 100% homosexual.

That's I was trying to say. The porn on xtube that is real boyfriends/husbands having sex with just a camera in the room. You see the passion and a good artist can draw with that too.

I completely agree. My comment was directed only to

as furry art can be as "bland" as any run of the mill porno.

 

[lupinealchemist]

So far it hasn't made me crave mangina, but I am more tolerant to adult artwork. ...except for cub, diaper, ws and especially scat. You can't bribe me to accept that filth.

Oh I agree 100%.

That's always good. I had to leave mine(friends and bf) behind 3 months ago, 750 miles away. And I was just starting to come out of my shell a bit too.

 

[Takun]

awwwwwww

 

[xiath]

No, I believe that they gay furry art only opened my eyes to being Bi, but I do not believe that the fandom actually made me Bi.

 

[Rifter]

I wouldn't say it made me gay as such. I've always been hot on guys, but it took the friends I made in the fandom to help me accept it.
