Hi Papabear. 

I haven't needed advice for a while, but something has come up recently that's really weighing me down, and I can't talk to hardly anyone about it. 

I made a friend through the Internet by random chance... I found a livestream where she was drawing, and I loved her art and started keeping her company during her streams. She's a great artist in my opinion, and watching her draw makes me super happy. When she started actually talking to me like a real friend, it made me even happier, since I'm always bad at making friends online, they just assume I want free art or cybers or something else, but I don't. 

We started talking so much, I feel like I've known her forever, and I am always happy to talk to her, then sad when I can't because she's not around. She feels the same way, and it's really awesome to have made such a fast friend, we're both really grateful that we met.

However... we've both noticed recently that there are thoughts in both our minds that aren't appropriate. We've been able to talk about them openly, and are fairly comfortable with the topic, but we've both agreed we can't ever let anything... um... physical happen between us because it would just cause problems for both of us. Despite agreeing to that, we both still think of each other as attractive women and like to compliment each other (a little flirtatiously at times). We're both married, and have each been through a sort of phase like this in the past, but now it's more like an actual attachment. 

To each of us, our friendship comes first. It's strangely strong for having only known each other through the Internet (though we hope to meet someday and get to say hi in person), and our dedication to keeping our friendship safe by avoiding physical complications (not to mention cheating on spouses, which we both view as a big no-no) is strong as well. 

I'm just worried though... I know it's wrong to think of someone besides my spouse with any kind of lust in my heart, but is it still okay for me to be friends with her? I don't want to lose this great friend, least of all over something we've both agreed is off-limits, but it's just so easy to talk with her about anything and everything. She never looks at me really weird if something personal comes up, and I'm grateful to have someone I can truly open up to about everything without fear of their reaction. Even if it's a comment about how attractive she is in a certain outfit.

In case your curious, I don't have the courage to explain it to my husband because he has a bad habit of hearing the worst parts of a sentence and tuning out the rest, so trying to make him understand would be next to impossible. He would hear "I think she's attractive" and totally skip over "but we're just good friends and would never do anything together. I love you and could never do that to you."

Dear Anon,

It is the standards of Society that restrict us, "permitting" us to only have one person to love who is not a blood relation. Papabear, for one, feels that the human (or furry) heart has the capacity to love many people. This does not mean you have to have sex with everyone you love, certainly not, but we allow ourselves to feel guilty and restricted by society's conventions, which results in our missing out on deep friendships that could be much more than, "Hey, let's go out for pizza."

Such friendships—and they should not be restricted by gender, either—are what I have found in the furry fandom and in the bear community. I have some bear friends who mean much more to me than what the word "friend" means alone; this does not mean they take any priority over my mate, whom I love dearly, but it does mean that I have a deep bond with them.

You should be permitted to enjoy such a bond yourself. To my ears, it sounds like both you and your artist friend are mature enough and responsible enough to handle this relationship. I'm assuming that your fear is that the two of you might find yourselves alone together at some point and express your affection physically. All you really need to do to make sure that doesn't happen is to not check in to a "no tell motel" to be alone. Also, your husband sounds like the jealous type, so I would just avoid language like "I think she's attractive," just in case, while you're around him.

You are an intelligent person and you know enough not to give in to your baser desires if you can anticipate and dislike the consequences (i.e., hubby finding out and divorcing you, which you obviously don't want). If you lived your life by other standards and had a more chill hubby, things might be different, and I, Papabear, certainly would not judge you on such behavior. But that is up to you.

The question is whether or not you trust yourself and your friend not to get physical. If you do, then please do continue the friendship.

Papabear

So, after about 3 weeks straight of work I finally have a yarn tail to show you all!! It's about 18 inches top to tip so just about reaches the top of my knees but I'm incredibly pleased with how it turned out. Can't wait to make another tail now!

Here's the tail in question. It's all a learning process as it's my first full tail, but hopefully it'll be the first of many more!! What do you furs think? :3

Here's a link to a small version I made during the last 3 weeks as well, good for bags and descreet outside wear I have to say! :D

Purely out of curiosity. How many of you would say that you were anywhere under the LGBT rainbow? (That includes asexual, bisexual, homosexual, pansexual, polysexual, third gendered, two-spirited, etc.) (I am quite proud to admit that Im bisexual).

Good evening furs! I'm just looking for some new music that may have some sort of furry relation. Whether it is the lyrics or a furry artist. :3

Aloha fuzzy friends and fiends! We have for you yet another offering! And it comes with 100% more otter!

One of Kyo’s friends (and new de facto roommate), Kana, stops by and records with us! Congrats Kana! You’re famous now!

We get to learn a bit about him, while at the same time no doubt frightening the poor fellow. Kyo tells us his word of the week while bonus otter tells us the harrowing tale of how the purple one saved him from a dreadful situation!

Smokey provides insight into the IRS audit, the UK’s progress towards legalizing gay marriage, and how doctors are trying to make fighting cancer a little less scary for kids! All pretty neat stuff, right? Isty regales us with stories of his work as well as an update on the latest weather situation up in Oklahoma. Seriously, what on earth has to happen before those people are cut a break!?

Emails follow with two from Jawbreaker (our first and last emails of the show) about what it was like living with his very religious grandfather while being gay and then again requesting we do a show about jobs. Ryo follows up with a bit more information regarding the upcoming change in his living situation. Next we get Legion Bunny expressing concerns about his physical appearance, how he judges the physical appearances of others, and how he’s a little annoyed with other guys not wanting anything more than one thing.

It was a short show today (well, e-mail wise). Next show will be about jobs! That’s right, Jawbreaker helped us decide what the next show would be about! Do you have a job? Do you need a job? Do you wish you had a better job? Do you just want to vent? Write in! The more experience you share, the more it might help those without said experience! Help a buddy level up today!

If you want to donate to the relief effort for the victims of the storms and tornadoes in Oklahoma, contact the Red Cross to see how you can help. Also check for reputable charity organizations working to provide food, clothing, shelter, and other necessities to those who have been affected. At this time, we at Fuzzy Logic do not have a specific organization we can recommend donating to other than the American Red Cross. We do however encourage you to support the relief effort if you can.

Love ◦ Sex ◦ Fur is a new project by [adjective][species] to explore relationships, sexuality, and some of the finer points of personal interaction within the furry fandom. It is intended to be a safe space for authors to write about the ways in which these topics interact on social, cultural, and personal levels, helping us to leave no stone unturned in our explorations.

The intersection between our subculture, sexuality, and love is complex, and all the more interesting for that fact. A lot of what motivates us in life is the pursuit of happiness in all its varied forms, and the fact that we are so varied is what helps make all of this so interesting: things don’t always line up, or they line up beautifully, and the reasons for that are worth investigating.

Furry does not take place in a social vacuum, of course, but it does act as an attractor in a chaotic system: those of us who get close tend to stay close and find happiness within this system that is bound up in our happiness. We have a tendency to date within the fandom, to fall in love with other furries, and to enjoy our time together, always seeming to steer down the same path. It’s hardly a new phenomenon, either, but it’s still very pertinent.

These are the types of things that LSF will attempt to explore. The safe space bit of it helps to encourage authors to write what they want to write about with the understanding that that is what the site is all about. So, with that said, come and join us for exploration of the intersection of love, sex, and fur.

I was originally anti-furry (in denial, of course, like I was about my sexuality) in 2008, but came across the "Teen Furs" group on Imeem.com before Imeem was sold to MySpace in 2009.

It contains some pics that got me into the fandom and I would love to have them on-file for memories sake. They were not "super popular" ones from bigger artists.

Does anybody have any old images from the Teen Furs group?
