Not scientifically accurate but cute.

…now that song is firmly lodged in your head, my job here is done.

Hey everyone! The last tutorial I made seems to have been received very well, so I'm going to plan to make about one every week or two for the next month or so! What are some things you personally want to see covered?

I'm trying to avoid things like "faces" or "anatomy" because these are really related to fundamental stuff, and in my experience, people are going to try to use these tutorials to skimp out and skip learning fundamentals from actual life study.

Edit: Oh, and feel free to peruse my FA to get a sense of my art, what my strengths are, and what you think you'd like to learn from me? :3

(Note to readers: this letter is pretty racy—a là Dr. Ruth Westheimer--and I would not advise younger readers to continue)

Dear Papabear,

How can I get a grip on my sexuality?

Since I was a teenager, I have been looking at porn to let out my sexual frustrations. While I have heard about studies that talk about how porn can impact sexual growth, I have a problem that might have come from it. 

One, I dont find anyone attractive. While I might be overthinking what being attracted to someone is, I have never had that, "I want to f*** you" impulse with anyone I have run across. 

I guess it could mean I am asexual, but I dont know since I still get turn on by porn. But I still feel like I have to force myself to be turned on when the actors look too made up or characters in it are drawn weirdly.

Thanks for the help.

Dear Snowcanine,

This is an excellent and relevant question in our Internet era, and I thank you for posing it. Cutting to the chase, no, I don’t think you are asexual. Your problem is simply that you watch too much porn.

One can compare pornography to drug use. As with a drug like crack cocaine, it stimulates the pleasure centers of the brain. After using crack for a long time, users notice that each hit has less of a result. They try using more of it, but eventually the brain becomes desensitized to this stimulation, and even though you are addicted to the drug, it doesn’t have the same impact.

The same goes for pornography. And here comes your timeliness, Snowcaine. The Journal of the American Medical Association Psychiatry published a study in the July 2014 issue in which it was shown that men who watch more than 4 hours a week of porn have less brain activity in the area associated with sexual stimulation than men who watch little or no porn. These are men, like you, who are in the prime of life. Many of them—about half—lose interest in having sex with real sexual partners. They find that the only way they can still get aroused is by viewing Internet porn.

The other issue besides duration is content. Online porn—and most especially furry online porn—raises expectations of sex to the most unrealistic highs ever. Pictures and animations of incredible fantasy creatures with huge sexual organs who are able to eject copious amounts of semen that could drown a horse overstimulate the mind. Then, when you get into bed with an actual human being, you’re like, “Why aren’t your breasts the size of weather balloons?” or “Why isn’t your penis bigger than your torso?” You get disappointed and, therefore, unaroused.

My first suggestion to you, then, is to ease off the porn. Keep it down to, say, an hour a week.

The other thing you can do is try to bring up the level of eroticism in real life. Is your real-world sexual activity pretty vanilla? There are all sorts of things you can do regarding role play. Of course, there is the furry practice of fursuit sex, for one. You can try toys, faux bondage (e.g., fake fur-lined handcuffs), electrical stimulation devices (vibrators, wands, e-stim kits), experiment with lotions and oils (keep them very warm; cold lotion is not as fun), edible costumes, body paint, slings, rim seats, the works (one thing about the sexual accessory industry is they pretty much have everything and anything you can think of). Don’t forget to pay attention to all of your senses. Internet porn can stimulate your visual and auditory senses, but it does nothing for smell, touch, and, yes, taste (try flavored lubes, whipped cream, etc).

Use your imagination. Role play. When you get your real-life game to the same creative level as the online porn, your problem will be solved.

Have Fun! Oh, and remember what my buddy Critter always says: remember to practice safe sex!

Papabear

So I have been quoted at $2500 for a fursuit but I feel like that is kind of steep. Would it be rude to counter with a cheaper price? like $2300?

I am concerned that it may come off as an insult. It's not like I think their work is not worth $2500, I just think that's expensive considering the simplicity of the design

But to counter that, its not like anything had fixed prices. Their website just has suggested prices, which leads to believe that negotiating a price would be a fair thing to do

what are your thoughts? anyone have a similar experience?

thanks!

EDIT: A lot of you have brought up the point that art is not really negotiable, and I respect that. I think I'm am going to just play it safe and accept the quote. I love the style of this fursuit maker and I don't want to have a bad relationship with them, especially if I want to commission them again in the future. Thanks for all the replies! I really appreciate it!

Author: Hi Papabear, I’ve written you before, regarding my inability to make friends. Don’t worry I won’t pester you with that again. I’ve accepted that it isn’t going to work out. Anyway, my apologies for pestering you again, I just was wondering if you had any advice on contending with rejection. It’s just, I’ve been […]
