The links between the various categories seem somewhat spuriuous. For example, how does one get from age play to incest? My sister is just a year older than I am?

PeterMcDermott, incest is sex with any immediate family member, isn't it? So not just siblings. Not that I think the link isn't spurious.

There's "a notably high ratio" of female furries? Really? Cuz I thought only guys were into retarded shit like that.

Wait, "pleasure through pain" and "hurt/comfort" are on opposite sides of the chart? Something's wrong here.

Maybe it was written by a very wishful-thinking furry.

Do you really want to know what's underneath that costume?

This wasn't written by a furry, wishful-thinking or otherwise. If it were, furry's circle would surround the entire chart.

Either that, or the chart was created by the propaganda wing of the Furry Industrial Complex.

So if you truly believe that there is a notably high ratio of female furries, your thoughts may have been manipulated by Big Furry.

From my experiences online, there are more female furries than many other more popular (generally male) fetishes. For whatever that's worth. I have no idea why.

Also, this chart is really old. I thought it had been posted 5+ years ago, but I'm not looking for it. OK, maybe I will ... ah, it used to be on Deviant Desires, which is no longer. Double post.

Well, I'd be amazed if there was even one woman into the furplay shit, so "notably high" might be relative.

Necrophilia has a notably high ration of females? Really?

There are female furries, and some of the ones I saw were really attractive. Like raver girls with chew toys instead of glowsticks.

NOTAFURRY.

This was in 2000, and I was hanging out with a girl obsessed with kink but had somehow never heard of furries. I mention that there's a furry convention in town that day and before I know it we're in the car and heading to crash it. A friend of a friend was one of the staff members of the furcon so I was pretty sure that that relationship plus having an attractive woman with me would be more than enough to get us inside and it was.

Stepping on that floor was scary. Every idle thought I'd ever had about how funny it would be to crash a furcon was made obsolete. I had entered their little piece of consensus reality and pointing and laughing at any of the absurdity around me would have just made me like an ugly American in Paris. And there was plenty absurd to be found, as I had shown up just as the furry dance began. Lumbering jackasses in plush wolf costumes! Obese fry cooks in sparkly dragonwear! Fuckwits with nut checks in vixen drag! Hot girls in kitty ears dancing with androgynous tiger boys....WHAT THE FUCK?! That's not part of the script! My companion was off taking pictures, so I couldn't ask her if I was hallucinating. More and more, attractive women started showing up in my vision, glimpsed between two fursuits, surrounded by tactless dorks by the punchbowl, occasionally wrapped around a cute guy, always remaining a minority but clearly present among these mulleted perl jockeys.

So, mind blown and odd thoughts of trading my dignity away and becoming a furry to impress one of these cat girls starting to rise, I walk off the dance floor and into the hall to wait for my friend to finish her gawking. Just before she comes out three guys dressed as wolves walk by, arms linked, their mass almost blocking a ten foot hallway. We worked our way around the fursuits and made our way to some bar.

Okay, age-play to incest:

Adult women dressing in little girl clothes, doing what they can to earn spankings and lovin' from their (male or female) "Daddies."

Sigh.

Speculums? No, no, no.

I guess someone's never had to memorize the content of www.specula.org for their Doctor. My Doctor says a good Doctor makes sure his patients are well informed before he performs procedures on them, and that a really, really good Doctor will do due dilligence by checking even throughtout the proocedure that the information has really been absorbed.

I like how there's an apparent distinction between “classic” fetishes and, what - information age fetishes, I guess?

I'm reading the furry hate and I gotta say, your repulsion amuses me. It's a lot like listening to my racist parents talk about the horrors of having to consort with large numbers of black people in a grocery store or at a public event. I know I'm not the oldest person in the room, and yet still I feel like a grown up tending to cranky children.

Seriously. It's just sex in a costume. That's all. You put on your special outfit, play around and fuck for a while, maybe fall asleep for a bit, then switch back to the clothes you had on before. What is there to get so excited about? Get over it.

I don't think that "furry-hate" is all that odd. Furries are basically people who are excited by activities that deliberately come close to the lines drawn by bestiality taboos. I'm not an anthropologist, but I can't imagine that this taboo isn't pretty deeply ingrained in most members of society, and for a significant part of the population, revulsion is a predictable response. It's a form of transgressive sex that goes beyond some peoples' boundaries. Nothing "wrong" with it in an absolute sense, but to expect that there aren't going to be people who are squicked out by it is ridiculous.

For me, I have to say that it's probably because everyone I've ever known who's been out about their furry preferences has been a skeevy retard with a raft of bizarre metaphysical beliefs (like being inhabited by the soul of a dragon, which gave them special powers).

Though I did just meet the guy who does the illustrations for My Little Pony and find out that he made rent one month by going to a furrycon and knocking out dirty drawings for $25 a pop. He seemed like a pretty cool guy.

The weird thing is, I've always found furries just slightly more repellent than people who actually have sex with animals. At least straight up bestiality fans are honest with themselves.

Huh? Most furries I've encountered claim that they don't actually want to fuck animals. And then they don't actually fuck animals. Seems reasonably honest to me.

It seems to me as if you might as well be saying, "I've always found people who like consensual rape-play just slightly more repellent than people who actually rape. At least straight up rapists are honest." Unfortunately, this logic doesn't work any better than yours does. There's a huge difference between being turned on by the fantasy of doing something, and being turned on by actually doing that something.

So, while you're at it: "naughty nurses" ought to just be totally upfront about their secret, shameful desire to work in healthcare. Also, guys who wank to photos of Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS are worse than actual Nazis. Gotcha.

I always found Josie & The Pussycats (the cartoon version) sexy when they wore their stage outfits. Does that make me a furry? or merely an animation fetishist (aka an 'Inky,').

I kinda made out with a couple members of Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch when I was a teenager.
We were at Grape Ape's place (he hadn't setted down with Jabberjaw yet) just wrestlin' and stuff, and then Space Ghost said he wanted to show us some new moves brought over from Hong Kong by Fritz Freling, and he gave us some "soda" and took out his Kodak , and then we started hugging and such.
I woke up with my head shaved.
One of the Brady Kids gave me a ride home.
I've never told anyone about this until now.
