Papabear,

There is a furry called Sky who kind of defends fursuit sex or somewhat (which is, of course, fine), but the way he does it makes it sound entirely horse-s@!#.

Here is a stupid phrase he made up (I hope it's made up): “Fall in love with the fursuiter, never fall in love with the fursuit,” and he claims it's a common term. He claims that you must be attracted to the person inside and have nothing to do with the costume (AT ALL, I think) and whatever. Same thing with fursona icons or something.

He thinks that if it affects some kind of “sexual orientation,” then somehow, to him, it might be a problem, I think. Not sure if that's what he meant, but it's really dumb when yet, to a lot of others, IT'S KIND OF THE POINT.

I mean, I can understand if it takes over you in a life, damaging way, but having it as at least a requirement shouldn't be consider harmful at all. Especially if the person has no attraction to yucky, smelly humans (like it's a closet dream or something).

I've never had sex in a fursuit before (though I should understand it by now), but I did kind of had a thing for icons as a symbol maybe. Without them, then it just feels pointless.

Question is, do you agree or is it also fine to have it like this too? I've also wondered if it’s true that this kind of idea is common or it’s just him again.

Dear Diamond Man,

Not to evoke your ire against me, but Papabear would agree with the statement, “Fall in love with the fursuiter, never fall in love with the fursuit.” What this says—and I haven’t heard it put this way before, so wouldn’t know if it is considered cliché within the fandom or not—is simply that you should not be shallow and base your relationships on appearances. It is a corollary to the much more familiar “beauty is only skin deep.” One might fall “in love” with a beautiful woman because she is extremely attractive, but if you court her and marry her only to find out that, inside, she is a very ugly person, then you have landed yourself in a very nasty situation.

Any mature, deep relationship is based on a foundation of who each person is and not what he or she wears. Think of a fursuit as if it were clothing. Who would you rather fall in love with? A man who dresses impeccably in Hugo Boss and Armani but who does drugs, cheats, steals, and hurts other people? Or a guy who dresses in tattered jeans and a stained shirt but is kind, loving, and caring? Now, turn that Armani into an amazing dragon suit complete with movable wings, animatronic facial expressions, cool Medieval leather gear, and LED-glowing eyes. Inside that remarkable dragon is still a person who is a big, pardon me, piece of crap.

And, guess what? That person is not going to wear that fursuit 24/7. If he or she is anything like me, the fursuit will only stay on a couple hours at most, and, once it comes off, voilá! Out comes the buttmunch whom you have chosen as a mate.

As a furry, I certainly understand the physical attraction to fursuits, fursonas, avatars, furry art, etc. But I would never base a relationship just on that one aspect, and neither should you. Now, if you meet a super person and he or she happens to have an awesome fursuit, then bonus! But, if not, I certainly hope you wouldn’t reject someone in your life simply because you don’t care for that person’s fursona and fursuit. Such things should not be a requirement.

As for whether or not this idea is “common,” I’ll let my readers chime in on that one.

Poor frog, outsmarted by a fly.

Another great short from the animation School Superinfocom.

I'm fairly new to the fandom ( love you guys :3 ) Anyway, I've noticed that quite allot of furies are a cat/fox/dog/wolf ect.. I was just wondering ... Since there is no Limit on what you do with your fursona, How do you tell the difference between a fox and a wolf lets say?I dunno if it's just me ... But I find it hard ! :O & I don't want to sound rude or anything. & I don't want to say "wow I love your fox sona!!" When it's a dog :/ ... Don't want to be that guy! cuddles

I used to chat on yiffy.tk but it was difficult to use on my iPhone and I also heard it closed down recently.

Can someone point me to groups that are chat based but definitely more easy to use on your phone? I am still on my iPhone but even a smartphone has it's limits with chat rooms sometimes.

I just got really tired of message boards and waiting for people to reply and having to remember to log back in to check on them. Any advice for a furry missing a place to go and the days when you could actually use messengers for chatting with groups of people and not just one person at a time?

Author: Papabear, I have recently became a young new furry, and I am working on my Fursona. I am an artist, so I thought my creativeness would allow me to create a detailed Fursona that I would stick with. Though, things haven’t been like that. I have the name thought out (Crystal), and the species […]

Specifically not looking for slash, fanfic or the like, and perhaps more along the lines of novels and such. Any of them I simply cannot pass by?

This game was my first experience with the furry fandom and is the reason why I'm still in it today. Disney shut down the game about a year ago but dedicated fans have just now put up a private server that you can play on for free. Its in beta now so access is limited to a few hours at a time but upon release it will be just like the old game with new content and textures for all to enjoy. You can check out /r/toontown for more info.

Hello guys! I would occasionally post about a cool steam group known as CSFurry, a group that plays Counter Strike that has only furries! We have grown since the first inception of the group, and not even a year passes until we got a hundred members!

If you play Counter Strike and are interested you should totally join!

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/CSFurry

Don't have Counter Strike but want to try it? You're in luck! Our group partnered with g2a.com, and you can buy the ENTIRE Counter Strike collection for cheeper then Global Offensive by itself!

It's like a steam sale that isn't a steam sale! Plus a portion of the profits goes to our group, to help fund giveaways and a dedicated server!

www.g2a.com/r/csfurrypack

I highly recommend the game, it is super fun! It's not like your traditional shooter, it takes a lot of finesse and strategy to do very well, and joining our group will give you a good start in learning how to play!

I hope you guys try it out and enjoy!

Hey~ I'm a newer fur, just finally broke down and decided on it after a long while of lurking and admiring. I was just curious if there were any places that were good to talk to other furs? Thanks in advance :3

So here's my deal, I can't draw worth a hell, I can't purchase a commission. Would anybody be willing to draw my Fursona for me?
