Furry porn must be the natural conclusion of when kids who are infatuated with Disney’s Robin Hood hit puberty.
Furry enthusiasts are, generally, people who love a certain style of cartoonish, anthropomorphic animal characters, and often dress up as such at Star Trek-style conventions to find others who share their interest. But its easier to understand the movement’s popularity when you recognize the sexual element, which is all I can think of to explain how adults show so much interest in such obscure material.
Run a Google search for “furry fox” and you realize how real and pervasive “furry fandom” is. A term like that should be a reasonable descriptor for a fox in the wild – like “scaly lizard” or “large elephant” (both of which return images of animals in nature). But the Internet sees our furry fox as drawn cartoonish images of slender, grinning animals, some of which are in overtly sexual poses with enormous genitals or breasts.
The movement actually has its own version of Wikipedia, explaining everything fur from terms like furotica (furry porn) to the avatar identities of actual people in the community.
A furry insider’s sociological study conducted from 1998-2000 found wide sexual diversity in the group, with nearly half reporting bisexuality and another quarter exclusively gay or lesbian, and forty-seven percent desiring polyamorous relationships. The types of images you see again and again reveal more about the community’s idealizations: enhanced musculature, oversized erogenous parts, a distinct fetish for abundant sexual fluids and openness to sex acts that are beyond kinky.
The furry sex movement (which they call “yiffy” – I dare you to do an image search) is on the boundary between cartoon-land an BDSM. It’s hard to find ways to make fun of a group like that, since they’re so blatantly and admittedly beyond the pale of what most people are used to. There’s no joke to sound more absurd or hyperbolic than what is already proudly on display. And furry fans are so positive and affirming toward their own interests, in spite of how others may see them, that you have to respect their determination toward rulebreaking and self-fulfillment.
But wait: I just found a cartoon leopard’s vaginal lips spread wide open with shimmering drops of juice leaking out. Beside it was a self-pleasuring horse-headed man-figure with fingered hands but hoofed feet, gigantic genitals throbbing outward and copious amounts of cum drenching his own face.
And – oh, shit – I think I just saw a dragon eating out some kind of female badger/skunk.
Matt,
You have opened my eyes to an entirely new lifestyle…..

Mike…I am so with you… afraid, totally afraid…reminds me of a jr. high classmate…he lived on a farm and his best farm_friend was a particularly nice looking FEMALE of the bovine species…(there was nothing queer about him).
very afraid…

I think this sounds quite smug. I don’t see what’s any different about it than fisting or some other kink that can seem entirely repulsive until you try it with a hot guy.
As for furry art, it’s hot if it’s drawn well and pushes the right buttons. There’s plenty of hot “furry” art and plenty of art about “normal” humans that’s horrible, to my eye. Execution is front and center.
Just so you know, the rule you propose in the end of this post already exists. It’s known as Rule 34: If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions. Rule 35 states: If Rule 34 is ever proven wrong, someone will create porn of it. (There are lots of other rules of the internet, but they’re all completely bogus. Except rules 1 and 2, which I’m not allowed to talk about.)
Overall though, not a bad post. I’ve been dabbling in furrydom for a while now and really have a hard time explaining the appeal even to myself, let alone other people. What amazes me is that it’s not really that unusual or specific of a fetish. There are tens of thousands of people out there who are into this. There are dozens of conventions and art shows around the country and the globe dedicated solely to furs. Maybe someday there will even be a furry rights movement. (I can’t for the life of me decide if that’s something to look forward too or not) Overall I agree with your basic statement. It’s weird and confusing and a little disturbing, but they’re not hurting anyone so… Why the hell not?
Are those sexed-up versions of Tony the Tiger and Grape Ape? Or is it just me?
A couple of years ago, there was an episode of “C.S.I.” that was set at a Furry Convention. It was the only opening reveal where Grissom was speechless.
I like furry stuff, but certainly not more than I like ‘regular’ drawn pornography and erotica. I don’t find it disturbing in any way, they’re almost always anthropomorphic, meaning the animals have human traits like hands, walking upright, etc. It may resemble animal sex, but it’s really animal-like humans or humanly animals.
This subculture, as I understand it, is very young. Less than 20 years old. Maybe closer to 10.
I wonder if these folks will be “furry” when they reach their 40’s. Something about furries (and I have met a few) tells me that this is not only a young movement, but also a movement geared toward youth.
Time will tell.
I like cartoons. I like sex. It’s a logical mashup.
Brilliant. My day’s been made. And who would have thought that the Obama presidency could be topped.
How awful misconception about furries you people have !
First of all it is not people that like cartoonish animals, for some it is yes and for some it is totaly different thing like deep animal spiritualism or the symbolics behind the whole thing.

- WRONG ! Through the past and the ancient times there were many similar cultures and beliefs , just think about ancient egypt or greece ! Today we are the modern form of it.
I’m amazed how people think that it is only fetish without even realising that it might be a lifestyle for lots of furries ! The sexual part of it is just one of the things about the whole subculture.
Being a furry also means you remember the animal nature within yourself and trying to express it in the normal day living. Being one can also mean you are stongly bound to animal totems and beliefs !
Being one it also shows the nature of the human being that is long gone and forgotten due to modern lifestyle but for the furries it is not but instead it brings the way of the animal inside one’s life bringing more energy and tight bonds anmong us all.
You MUST understand that is is a way of life , a way of expression , a way of behaviour ! That porn you see is simply for entertainment purpose.

Thanks for the attention.
It’s not my place to say whether this is healthy or unhealthy, as long as it’s between consenting adults. But…I’ve met ‘furries’, and they seem emotionally damaged, like they’ve had some kind of trauma or sexual abuse. Is there any data on this?
“Being a furry also means you remember the animal nature within yourself and trying to express it in the normal day living. Being one can also mean you are stongly bound to animal totems and beliefs !”
Animal totems have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, dude, but Native Americans or Aboriginese did not refer to their animal spirits as “yiffy.” New Agers who beleive in spirit animals are not necessarily “furries.”
Human beings have interacted and identified with animals as long as there have been humans. That’s a good point, and would add another interesting dimension to the substance of this article.
But JPEGs of human-handed deer masturbating are new. It is only made possible through a modern context; these sexual images are spread through technology and Internet. You have to admit at least that much. This is a porn site, so it’s not likely to generate a discussion of peoples spiritualistic animal totem beleifs that doesn’t focus almost exclusively on its sexual element.
Rules 1 and 2.
Back in college, when I was first discovering porn of ANY kind, I was fascinated by gay furry porn. Cartoons… porn. Two great tastes that go great together.
I’m not as into the concept as I used to be, but I do have a copy of the “Associated Student Bodies Yearbook” that I leaf through from time to time. (And if you don’t know about “Associated Student Bodies”, you should.)
And yes, it is some kind of amazing how the Internet allows all these people to get together, transforming a bizarre fetish into a legitimate subculture. Sure, the basic concept is older than radio–Tijuana Bibles, anyone?
Being a science fiction fan, I’ve known about furries for ages. Like members of every other culture, most are nice and some are jerks. Want some real fun, run a google on tentacle sex…When you’re done, beep me and I’ll point you to one of the funniest comic strips ever.
Eep – Sorry Anonymous there is me… I’m on cold medicine.
Always Rule 34 this Rule 34 that! I always call Rule 39 of the Internet:
“39. There is furry porn of it. No exceptions.”
The main picture at the top is awesome! I wonder who the artist was.
hey furry porn/yiff is hot, and “gideon” the artist who did the black and white horse the (”But wait” part of the article describes the pic) is an amazing artist he does great pictures of humans as well and man are they hung
if anybody thinks furry porn is strange/disturbing, look for the video 1 guy 1 jar THAT IS FUCKED UP
RULES ONE AND TWO
just an observation: new US 25c quarters have quite a few critters on them; all Canadian coins do (save the dime – sailboat) or trees and other fauna…all over the world…why are we even puritanical in our reception of – yes, Tony the Tiger (greeeaaat) dripping and gushing and lusting to be possessed, loved, fucked? Scary?!
Tony
(the tiger)
I myself am a furry, but considering the things out there, I am tamed lol, there are people who are into vore (which means eating people for pleasure) extreme BMDS, and a hell of a lot of things, it can shock people the amount of things there are out there, heck there are some people who like hyper (which is like the horse pic you see here) and even more so with macro/micro, this means that the person is smaller than the other one, but magic and technology is the basis of such things we look at it wrong or something when its not, its just the imagination, gone really wild
as for more info on vore trust me, there are many ways to look at it, there is eating alone, or having the cock eat the person, or so on and on
this just shows that the human mind has no limits
PATRICK FILLION DOES FURRIES AND HE WAS FEATURED ON THIS SITE SO THERE
Can we get any info on who the artist is for the gorilla tiger pic?? Would like to check out more of his stuff.
Related reading and entertainment: (link)
I love that image with the tiger and gorilla. Who is the artist and where can I find more of thier work?
That’s really hot! where did those pics come from? and yes tre, tre, tony the tiger-ish.
Many of the furries I’ve met are autistically batshit insane. They’re very much like objectum-sexuals (people who fall in lust and love with inanimate objects). I gotta admit, when the art is so anatomically proper like the tiger/gorilla pic, it’s hot. It’s all fantasy anyway. It’d be pious of me to judge them when things like pissing or ball torture should easily be more taboo.
Ha ha! Magic cards! How truly incisive.
Wow
Such stunning finger pointing.
Look, look. Those folks over there are geeks!
They’re ALL sexually weird.
They’re ALL damaged.
I’ve heard the same fucking crap from straights about gays, or gays and straights about bisexuals. I’ve heard the same fucking crap about BDSM folks (They can’t feel NORMAL levels of contact). And I’ve heard this same fucking crap about anyone who has a desire for something another person sees as ‘abnormal’.
Would the supposed pedophiles please stop with the finger pointing?
You would think, in a crowd like this, that such stupidity would be verboten.
Obviously, wrong again. Next thing you know someone’s gonna say something about how our President isn’t really sexy because he’s, you know, a negro.
P.S. Not a furry, not into BDSM, not bi, just tired of all the stupid fuckers pointing fingers at others. Get a freakin’ life. And while you’re at it, get over your prejudices.
I expect a story on adult babies in the upcoming weeks…

I find it much more constructive to change peoples’ attitudes by saying something like “furrys can be hot, who am I to judge?” than bashing on people who are negative on it.
First, no one can tell who you are attacking – the author of the article, some of the comments, ALL of the comments? All of the above?
Second, nobody gets shamed by that kind of negativity, they just get defensive. Beleive me, I’ve been in enough conversations defending someone’s race or religion to know the kind of approach that has NEVER worked.
The article was pretty positive toward furries, pointing them out as an amusing and interesting subculture rather than people to revile, and not all the comments were negative.
I find the self-righteous-indignation tone to be nearly ubiquetous on internet forums, especially gay ones, especially on this site. It’s amusing. Then someone else is self-righteously indignant ranting against the self-righteously indignant.
More people are converted to respect or stop judging each other by “wow, that photo is hot, whether you’re into it or not you have to respect the creativity” than they are by “you fucking judgmental asshole bastard.”
Self-righteous indignation is a lot better than what we usually get on the internet, but the ’sloppy 2nds’ guy has got a point: finger-pointing should be forbidden in a group of kinksters and the article and the comments that follow trample all over that. Of course, drama is way more profitable and porn is a business.
It’s all bullshit though because we’re just people, like you. Most furries are pretty chill. I have a normal job, I like mundane (slang for “not furry”) porn too, you know, all that shit. If you were to come hang out with me and my four furry roomates, the only thing “weird” you’d notice is some platonic (or not..) cuddling, which might cross gender-preference or relationship boundaries. For us, it just feels better than sitting on the other end of the couch. No one’s going to make you join in.
For those wondering, the fandom is not made up entirely of young people. In fact, it’s the 40+ furries who are most likely to be creepy/huge/stinky/publicly displaying affection for their plushies, etc. Somehow, it’s not just Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse, but nice theory, anyhow.
Furry porn is as wild and crazy as all other forms of porn. Straight Protestants have some weird tastes, but I’m not making blog entries marginalizing people who fantasize about cleaning products and going on about how ‘repressed’ they must be and what all their problems probably are or how their messed-up childhoods have led to their current “problems.” I don’t need that crap, not from anyone. My kinks are hot for me, and if you’re weirded-out, fine, but don’t go around telling people how you think we, the actual human-beings behind all this internet text, MUST be SO weird.
For the record, I have never played Magic and I can’t draw. Why do we have to be weirdos? Can’t I just be a normal guy who happens to be kinky like all the other kinksters? Not all of us came from the reject table in highschool, jerk.
Seriously, that’s the only part that made me actually angry. Really rude, man. You hurt my feelings.
Those of you into that ape, look for him on fchan or furaffinity. I’d provide you links, but then I might be responsible for sending a bunch of mundanes to a place where they don’t know the rules. If you care enough to actually look for it though, odds are you aren’t there to spam and be a jerk. While you’re there, check out Blotch too.
Peace and Porn,

Thanks for your comment, Surya. And when it comes to finger-pointing, I think you’re absolutely right – nobody on Nightcharm has much business doing that.
I try hard to be funny and occasionally sarcastic without being condescending, so as the author of the original article I’d like to clear a few things up for you.
I wasn’t saying that the furries sat at the “reject” table in high school, and the statement that there is “some intersection” with kids who liked magic cards and anime characters doesn’t mean every single furry fan likes magic cards and anime characters. The very nature of an intersection is that parts of a scene overlap and other parts do not. But for the record, even if it were so, I dind’t say anything bad about anime and magic fans, nor did I call them “rejects.”
I hung out with those kids in high school – the anime and Magic table. Those kids weren’t my main group of friends, but I sat anywhere I could go without being cussed at or spat on. I was a gay teenager who got shoved in trash cans by the jocks after I came out. Far be it from me to judge anybody there as “rejects.” Linking the groups was your assumption, not mine.
WOW THIS HORSE IS INCREIBLEMENT BIG
Just wondering; why is it that about 90% of all Furry porn that i see is gay(male)?
Is it the metrosexual, the bi-s and the closet guys that find it a lot more
fascinating and approachable than ordinary hard-core material?
And; the other thing i wonder about: Is the human-lookin’ dicks in the furry
comics an unconcious way to distance them from the Bestiality Bums?
Or is it just sheer anatomical laziness(not willing to do the research)…;)
Nice site,by the way…
“And; the other thing i wonder about: Is the human-lookin’ dicks in the furry

I think it’s that they tend to be turned on by human bodies and human dicks. The characters have animal faces but their chests, hands and feet are human.
I don’t think that furries are actually bestialists; I don’t see them running around having sex with living dogs and cats (at least that I know of). So you can handle maybe one or two animal features – the face, though anthropomorphic, is animal-eque – and maybe animal skin coloring or fur. But most of what they are attracted to is human; it is assumed that the characters have human intelligence, human personalities, and human bodies. They’re more or less mythical humans, like faries or gnomes.
I have seen a few examples of furry porn where the animals have animal penises. Like the dog’s penis will come out from its stomach rather than its crotch, and be otherwised sheathed in a pouch of fur. But it just doesn’t happen very often because I don’t think they find it “hot” looking.
This terrifies me. What if children were to discover this. My god people!
The artist who drew the ape and tiger is Kupopo. He’s very talented and the characters are made up.
Flint ten, the only one thats fucked up is you. Alison B, STFU and put a cock in your mouth.
Let live how they want to fucking live, you dont like it.. give me your address and ill personally make you leave them alone.
YOu fuckheads are NOBODY in the life, NOBODY.
You have no fucking right to judge people, in fact if your christan, arent you going to hell for judging people?
Furries > All.
Wana know why? Everyone is friendly everyone is united and everyone fucking enjoys thier fucking self, unlike all you fuckers who cant just live on.

Oh, wow. I’ve never seen furry before, but its pretty cool. Good artstyle, and yes, quite fascinating. I plan on getting into it more.

RE: “I think this sounds quite smug. I don’t see what’s any different about it than fisting or some other kink that can seem entirely repulsive until you try it with a hot guy.” (one of the first comments on the list)
LOL. You’re defending the normalcy of furries by comparing them to FISTING, which is, basically, the one sexual act everyone talks about when they want to mention something bizarre and outlandish?
I mean, do what you wanna do, but I don’t think it goes very far to make furries seem mainstream.
I wonder if the repulsion of this is because people think that the people that enjoy this also enjoy beastiality? From my understanding, the most of this is from fantasy, probably stemmed from previous mainstream depictions of inhuman beings/animals being romantic ie: Lion King. Anyone remember that snuggling scene between Simba and Nala? Or better yet, the sex scene between Chucky and that Jennifer Tilly Doll in Bride of Chucky (I was a complete victim of the horror revival of the late 90s).
I’m sure there are some people who practice beastiality and enjoy art like this. That’s wrong, I don’t care what you say. This is not my sexual cup of tea but when it’s pure fantasy, people are entitled to their own private business.
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyle and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogroves,
And the mome raths outgrave.
‘Beware the Jabberwock my son,
The jaws that Bite, the claws that catch
Beware the jujub bird, and shun
The frumious bandersnatch.’
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time his manxome foe he sought–
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood
The Jabberwock with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And bubled as it came!
One, Two! One, Two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back
‘And has thou slane the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Calloh! Callay!’
He chortled in he=is joy
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.

I find a nice of topic comment clears peoples mind and can help them make logical decisions. This entire argument is invalid.
There is no reason anything should be considered odd or “wrong”. Because, in the end it doesn’t affect you. Let people live the way they want to. <-the ONLY REASONABLE exception to this rule is when they try to FORCE they ways upon you.
I for one am pure non-religion but I don't go making christians, muslums, jews, or any other religious peoples to give up their beliefs. The only time it even gets brought up is when some event happens and they try to get me to follow their beliefs. And even then i don't just start dissing them or their culture. I simply state my side and TRY to leave it at that.
This should apply to all forms of moral or value conflict. Each side should simply state their side and if the other doesn't agree then there's no use attempting further, for they will go to the defensive and not even try to listen to proper reasoning.
It would be all and well if everyone did work this way but unfortunately it does not. So for those of you with a good reasonable head on your shoulders, I would really appreciate you to at least try to conduct yourselves this way.
And for those of you who refuse… I feel sorry for you….
P.S.- I am a "Furry" and that's that.<-Period
