I just finished my first yarn tail, and it feels great to wear, but I have no idea how to care for it. I have a couple questions.

• Where do I put my tail when I sit down? Tuck it between my legs, put it off to the side, or what?
• What happens if my tail gets wet?
• How do I clean my tail of it were to pick up dirt from the ground?

And if you have any other pieces of advice for me with caring for my tail, it would be much appreciated. It's a red fox tail (w/ a white tip) that hangs halfway between my knees and the ground.

Here's a Picture

This and http://bmwweb3.nobody.jp/manba.html are the only leads we have so far. We've been trying to find out how to obtain one, however it seems we can only get it from Japan.

We clearly don't live in Japan and it doesn't ship to the US. Has anyone found a place or a way to get this, or does anyone have one they want to trade and/or sell?

Thanks!

If you have ever had a furry type fantasies I highly recommend learning how to lucid dream! I have been lurking around in /r/lucidDreaming for awhile now and can finally say I've met, felt, and bonded with my favorite anthropomorphic character.

I wish I could find the words to describe how amazing the experience was. I felt everything from her tail wrapped around my waist to her fur against my skin... it was exactly how I imagined it would be.

It might take some time to get the hang of it, but please at least give it a try.

Just what it says in the title.

Knots.

As in dog dicks.

Which is basically the general public's distorted view of furries - people who like animal genitalia. Which is not at all accurate.

Do we really want to confirm the stereotypes presented by mass media? Is there any way at all, that can possibly backfire or spark hostility towards us?

Open discussion about the topic wanted

EDIT

Pros: Outsiders not seeing animal genitalia jokes.

Cons: Self Cencorship is a bad thing that goes against core principles in the fandom.

Argument: Knot jokes are not actual content and could be considered spam.

They are also NSFW by their very nature and might not be fitting for this subreddit

Counterargument: Mainly furries come here.

Counterargument 2: Furries actually like knot jokes. Why not have our fun?

Papabear,

For years now, I've wanted to get sprayed by a skunk. I've smelled the scent on the wind and the thought of getting skunked and taking a tomato juice bath arouses me. Still, I don't want others around me to suffer from the smell. Should I try to get sprayed or even be honest with those I’m living with about my desire?

Dear Angus,

Some reading this might think your love of skunk spray is odd, but it does have validity. Interestingly, there have been studies on this, and while most people find skunk spray repellant, a small minority of people find the scent very pleasurable. This has a lot to do with how people are wired. It’s kind of like how some people get physical pleasure out of pain (though your interest is not so extreme as that, of course).

There are other smells that some people love while others hate, including horse manure, gasoline, mildew, body odor, and pipe or cigar smoke (I actually like pipe and cigar smoke but not cigarette smoke). Scientists who get government grants to research such things (your tax money at work) have come up with two theories: 1) it is a genetic predisposition, and 2) it is a learned behavior. Of these two theories, the second one is supported more by experimental research.

So, first of all, wanted to emphasize that you are not a weirdo for liking skunk smell. In fact, you are attracted to the musk scent in the oils of the skunk’s glands, which, interestingly, perfume and cologne manufacturers often use in their products! It is used not only for the musk component but because the chemical in it (butyl mercaptan) is a scent adherent (that’s why it’s hard to get off) that makes perfume scent last longer. Secondly, I congratulate you for being considerate of other people’s needs and that getting yourself sprayed and not cleaning it off would lose you a lot of friends. 

What you can do is this: don’t try to find a wild skunk and get yourself sprayed (there is, after all, the possibility of being exposed to diseases a wild animal might be carrying, not to mention that harassing wild animals is not a good idea.) Instead, go to a local outdoorsman store (e.g. Cabela’s; hunters use it to mask their human odor from their prey) and you can purchase skunk scent in a bottle. I even found a website called SaveOnScents.com where you can purchase it (http://www.saveonscents.com/product_info.php/products_id/4831). You can then squirt some of the oil onto a handkerchief, for instance, and smell it at your leisure when you are not with others who might find it unpleasant.

As for telling others, I wouldn't make it a big deal. If the subject ever does come up, for some odd reason, in conversation you can nonchalantly mention that you like the smell of skunk, no biggie.

I think that would be the best solution for you, Angus!

Hugs,

Papabear

What are peoples opinions and experiences of meetups? Have you gone to many? If not what keeps you away? I've started going to meet ups near me and so far I've been to 3. First one was really fun if a bit awkward but I got to talk to some people and make some friends. The last two were pretty awkward and I doubt I'll be going back (people not talking etc). I'm going to a con later in the year and I'm a bit worried about what sort of atmosphere there will be. Thanks :)
