Welcome to Fuzzy Logic, episode 92, Bragaholic!

Isty makes an auspicious return! Smokey discusses his new workout routine. Kyo mentions the hardship surrounding furry cons in and around the Michigan area. Halfwit has a brief story about her explody car. And Isty tells us of what happened with his ankle, preventing his presence last show.

When we get to our emails, there are six of them!

First up is Jacky who talks about encountering furries in the wild and not being able to muster the courage to go say hi, we feel your pain.

Second we hear from Sparf and his one man show thesis and how it has had a further reaching impact than he expected.

Next, Dee talks about how his little obsession with people’s birfdays has turned into something more!

Then Absol, now Jaye Ventus, talks about changing species and name, how it reflects how other things in his life are changing (like switching to culinary school!)

Devin the Newf follows with how he’s being encouraged to run for public office in his town and how he wants to keep his furry life very separate from it.

Ryo (or Umbra, he’s still undecided on that!) Generally brags about the stuff going right in his life, and there’s nothing wrong with that!

Our next show will be minus a Kyo as he prepares to head off to Rainfurest! See you show after that purple fox! The topic while he’s gone is all about Fall!

How do you spend your autumn? Are you back in school? Do you have a seasonal job that just started up? Do you work and go to school at the same time? Do you like fall? Do you not like fall? Email us!

Sparf’s one man show thesis. It’s worth a watch… he bears his soul in a touching, and very personal way, one that many of us can relate to.

I'm not a furry but I'm very curious about it. I'm a straight male and for awhile thought it wasn't for me cause its a mostly gay community. Don't get me wrong I don't hate gays. I have 2 dads and love them both. But I have a question. Are there bear furries? I love bears and I've felt a huge connection to them my whole life. Please if there is can you direct me to a subreddit or some other bear furries cause I have questions lol

Dear Papabear,

Please forgive me for sending yet another huge letter. I have a problem that I simply cannot solve alone, and since you have already helped me in the past, I was hoping you could do the same now.

In my previous letter, I told you that I was straight. I wish my sexual orientation was as easy to understand as that. I suffer from O.C.D., and am currently undergoing therapy to cure my phobias, as well as my obsession with cleanliness. But it appears that my sexual orientation is being affected by my condition.

A few years ago, I started having sexual desires for members of the same sex. I ended up finding a furry with whom I became friends with and, sooner than most, I started having sex with him. It felt fantastic, and I was happy.

However, some time after I did it, I started obsessing about the fact that God would punish me and that I would end up in Hell. I went to the Church to confess, I talked to him, and everything was apparently over. But then I would come back, we would have sex again, I would feel guilty, and the cycle would endure for an eternity.

I later discovered that he was talking about our relationship with others, a clear invasion of my privacy, as I told him I'd rather keep it a secret, and I ended up with him for good.

But now, and despite my therapist saying it was part of my O.C.D, I feel an urge to find another male with which I can be happy with. But I am afraid the same thing will happen here, especially because I don't know what my sexual orientation is anymore. I am very confused at the moment, and this confusion is crippling my attempts to get cured. I also like girls, but a traumatic event involving a girl in the past make me become afraid of dating a girl.

So, am I bisexual or am I just obsessed about having a relationship with a male?

Yours Sincerely, 

C-Ratchet

Hi, again, C-Ratchet,

Okay, I don’t know where you found your therapist, but your sexual orientation and your OCD have nothing to do with each other.

Obsessing about cleanliness and obsessing over your guilt about having sex with a guy ARE indicative of OCD. So, let’s get one thing straight here right away: You are NOT going to Hell because you are gay or bi. That’s baloney contrived by religious zealots who are closed-minded about different forms of sexual expression.

Put that worry aside, okay?

Now, you really have two separate problems here: your OCD and coming to terms with your sexuality. Obsessive compulsive behavior is something that is never fully cured but can be managed successfully with good treatment and medication. It’s important that, once you find a treatment that works for you, you keep it up for the remainder of your life because, if you stop, the OCD will return.

Where OCD CAN affect your sex life is in your performance. It usually does so in a negative way. People with untreated OCD may have trouble being aroused, may become easily dissatisfied with a partner, or might even come to fear sex (clearly not a problem when you were having satisfying sex with that guy). So, what your therapist might be referring to when it comes to the relationship between OCD and sex is the situation with your former girlfriend. You had an unpleasant experience with her that has led you to, perhaps, obsess with the idea that sex with any girl will now lead to another bad experience.

Even if that scenario is true, your OCD would not make you gay. If you are truly straight, you would not find sex with a guy very pleasant, it would not make you feel “fantastic,” and you would not be happy about it. So, I believe that OCD may be keeping you away from girls but your true sexual orientation (i.e., you are either gay or bi) leads to your attraction to guys.

I hope that alleviates your confusion. Remember to keep your OCD and your sexual orientation separate; they are two different things. OCD may affect your sexual performance, but it doesn’t turn you gay (or straight, for that matter).

I’m uncomfortable with your therapist giving you that impression, and I think it would be a good idea for you to get a second opinion from another professional in the field. In the meantime, before pursuing another relationship, it would be a good idea to get your OCD under control. Focus on you, first, and then worry about a new relationship later.

Good luck! Bear Hugs!

Papabear

Author: Ok so (papabear) I need to know if there is a web site for young furs below the age of 18 and if so can you please tell me the name? Brandon * * * Hi, Brandon, As far as I know, there is not a furry site just for furries under 18. So, […]

For the movies to make this list, they had to have at least one intelligent animal character in the main cast, and be worth watching. I've put the species present in brackets, so you can ctrl-f for any specific animals.

In no particular order:

The Lion King (lions, hyenas, meerkat, warthog, monkey)

Ratatouille (rats)

How to Train Your Dragon (dragons)

Tangled (horse)

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (rabbit)

Robin Hood (foxes, rabbits, bear, lion, mice, birds, crocodile, elephants, rhinos, snake, wolf, dog... just a whole buncha animals)

Lady and the Tramp (dogs)

The Jungle Book (panther, tiger, snake, bear, monkeys, wolves)

Madagascar series (lion, leopard, zebra, hippo, giraffe, tiger, penguins, lemurs - Gia is one fine piece 'a tail)

The Secret of Kells (cat, wolves - okay, this one may be stretching it, but it's a good movie m'kay)

The Cat Returns (cats)

Ernest et Celestine (mice, bears - omg this is the most adorable movie. I watched it in French with subtitles, but the English dub is coming soon if you want to wait)

A Town Called Panic (horse - this movie is really weird... and hilarious)

Balto (wolf, dogs - this one's more for nostalgia than anything. And plus Balto's a real cutie)

I certainly do. First realized it back in sophomore year in high school. I ask because for a lot of people, the fandom is about sex. Obviously that's not all it's about, but for most other furries I know, sex plays a big part in it.

Also, for you, which came first? Did you realize you were asexual and then a furry, or did you identify as a furry before you identified as an asexual? I would honestly say that, for me, furry came first, if only because I didn't know that asexuality was actually a thing.

Finally, if anyone who isn't asexual happens across this, if you're unsure of what asexuality is, please feel free to ask. I'd be more than happy to share what I know.
