Who/what are you attracted to?

So I'm intrigued by statistics that show furries are far less likely than average to be straight. I'm kind of curious as to what other furries are specifically attracted to, as labels are sort of broad, in terms of either humans or anthropomorphic animals. Personally I'm bi, but I'm mostly attracted to very feminine boys, with wide hips and androgynous facial features.

Edit: It really does seem as though 90% of furry porn is either futa or femboys (but being a transwomen attracted to femboys, it could be that I just notice those more).

I'm bi as well, but I am very much into guys moreso than girls. I enjoy feminine guys (sexually) and husky guys (romantically). But it's mostly about personality for me.

I'm attracted to animals, anthropomorphic animals, and humans. Mostly of the male variety, though occasionally female. I've eclectic tastes when it comes to build and aesthetic features.

I'm pan/omni, and have been since I was young. I drew a lot of anthro animals (or really people with animal heads, like, literally) between the ages of 5 and 8 and then stopped for a long time, before rediscovering anthros in 2002. I can be attracted to them I guess? I haven't noticed as much. I do have more of a male interest in general., but that may also be because I had to fake being 100% straight for years because of whackjob parents.

For me, my sexuality depends on the day. I lean more towards females in person but online and within the fandom I am almost entirely gay.

I'm gay, and found this out only a year ago the hard way.

I'd say I'm more attracted to anthropomorphs (because they are essentially designed without many flaws and in some cases as ideals or 'perfect') but I still like real life people :>

The things I look for in a guy are a good state of mind (they are generally happy and can have some fun), more light-hearted personality (they know how to avoid sounding mean and aren't jerks, and someone who isn't too forceful and more understanding). As for looks I would appeal to people with good hair, and a decent sense of fashion heh (and a slim, toned body - in that case I'd be a top or a muscular body in which I'd be a sub)

I ask for too much .3.

Straight, and I like the human variety.
 
I'm pansexual of human inclinations. I tend to date mostly males, however it's mostly been a matter of circumstance, I'm very much attracted to females as well. Been sadly in love with my best friend for a long time now.

listen here sweaty :):)
Gay, but my sexuality seems to be more fluid than I expected. Let us see what the future brings.

Until recently, I would have claimed to have been straight, then I realized I was turned on by both male and female anatomy (so to speak), so I said to myself: "Stop lying, you're bisexual and there's nothing wrong with that."
I might actually be pansexual.

Anyhow, I have a preference for Anthros, though I'm up in the air when it comes to body type and gender.


I've had three girlfriends; the first one was too into her religion for my taste (not that there's anything wrong with that) we went on two dates (one was at a screening of the first Twilight movie) and that was that. The second one was just too damn clingy (we never went on any dates, but she jumped straight to pet names and hugs... I suspect her affection wasn't genuine) The third one I went on one date with, and it just dissolved.

Anthros of dogs, cats (domestic and big game), horses, cows, and woodland creatures (skunks, raccoons, etc.), and non-anthro horses. All females, because I am straight as a pencil.

Human females don't turn me on, but if I see an anthro tiger or an anthro horse with a nice body, I might just get hard.

I'm heretosexual, and I'm attracted dragoness, other scalies, and sharks as long as they don't have any human bits such as breasts.

I currently identify as bi! However, I'm nonbinary and have a preference for other nonbinary folks (like my partner) and girls.

Personally, I don't think it's that furries are more likely to not be straight. I think it's that, since furry content is usually pretty... diverse, people have a chance to explore themselves and discover they're not straight.

I usually say that Im mostly hetero sexual, but I do have expections when a boy pretty much looks like a girl (And more importantly feral or anthro. Rarely irl too, have to be a pretty good trans to get past uncanny valley concept)

Though as for my attraction to girls, Im not too picky I guess. I find myself looking to Larger women at times especially when my mood swings for that interest. Ofcourse, I love anthro cuties and feral honeys. Only tolerate futa when they are in intercourse with a very femine partner, girl or boy, or even easier for me when they are the submissive ones (Especially when not so submissive in any other situation, Tsundere works in every case!!).

Also cute compact paws I seem to like to see somewhere in the action, but not to be confused with having an intense case of foot/paw fetish.

While I state my preferences it does NOT mean I am uncomfortable to see or talk about other combos. These are just what it takes to actually get me to whip it out.

Please clap.
Larger women mostly as well! And feminine guys on occasion.

As far as anthros, any mammal that is well drawn and lifelike and VERY naughty! :)

Furry sure does seem to bring out the gayness though. Can't front there.

Trans is an adjective, not a verb, and trans people (I'm assuming mtf from context) are not "boys who look like girls", but I'd live to know about this "uncanny called" thing. Never heard about that before.

Edit: looked up the uncanny valley thing. Very interesting.

Here you go:
Uncanny valley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Except in this case, Dazriello is substituting androids/CGI and human with male and female.

Personally, I'd like to see a time when we can separate sex and gender a bit better. I feel bad that many transpeople feel a lot of pressure to "pass" as the gender they identify with. It's complicated. My partner is FtM. Passes pretty often, also gets misgendered sometimes too.

I used it more as a noun, I honestly have no idea how I would even go about tryign to make it a verb.. Transing? Transed?.
Anywho, in my shoddy post uncanny valley was used loosely but in actual terms, its when something or in this case, someone, comes very close to appearing as one thing (In most cases, like when you make a robot or 3D model look as close too a real person as possible, not even anime like either) but only barely off the mark which gives them away. (Like telling the difference between a person and a manniquin) We humans are very good at picking up on subtle details, which is what makes it very difficult for anything to fool us, especially when it comes to face recognition.

Just to head off any possibilities, if you are assuming I look down on trans people or am afraid/disgusted by them, that is far from the truth, I was just stating to what degree it'd have to come to for me to be physically attracted as I am picky when it comes to my bi nature.

I wasn't, just being a grammar nazi, and I meant noun but yeah... I'm a fine one to talk... lol. But yeah sorry it's kind of a pet peeve of mine when people go out of their way to use adjectives as nouns--just sort of comes off wrong. But I suppose my comment came off wrong as well, so sorry about that.

my best friend is ftm (technically gender fluid but planning to transition). Still had to use the girls' bathroom at school, but passes as male so that causes some problems as you might imagine. They think it's funny as hell 'cause they're badass like that, but it sucks.

Lol nah I understand, I guess I shouldve been a but more tactful in my word choice but didnt really much remember just how much of a problem the prejudice going around still is when I was mindlessly expressing what I find attractive. lol. How I said it would probably sound bad to alot of people initially much like if I wouldnt said The whites, or The Blacks.

Ya, no, that stuff is an emotional bombardment no matter how much of a tough guy/girl attitude they take it. But as far as the bathroom thing, that's a bit touchy of a subject on both parties, personally on that regard the tact for the others seems more humane to prevent a crisis. But I mean, it gives no one justification to forcefully call anyone by something they do not identify as directly. I seriously get that they truly are not the gender they were born with, minds trapped in the opposite gender and it sounds like a nightmare and I'm not doubting that it is either.

I AM thankful for technology and advancements in that field though when I get to really thinking about this kind of thing. To have some way out of your mistaken gender if they're serious enough in their heart that they absolutely do not want to live as a male/female when they are, on the inside, something else, it just makes me feel relieved that they have SOME way out of that personal hell, and I really hope medical science puts more investment into that field too. Maybe someday Women who were once trapped as men from birth could even have children when they change.
