Thrown to the Wolves
by Leda Swanson
I sat across from the big beautiful lion and relaxed a little as he answered my questions. We were at a Furry nightclub, he’d kindly agreed to help me with my story for Players, and his presence at the little table made me feel better. Nonetheless, I was still the only human in the place and I was self-conscious about it.
“Yiffing,” he said in answer to my questions, “is just the word for sex when it involves Furries. ‘Scritching’ is just a cuter, more affectionate version of the word ‘scratching.’ Like you do with a kitty when you scritch him behind the ears.”
I wrote it all down and I looked around the club. it was packed with Furries from all of the critter kingdom. There were beautiful cats, wolves, foxes and even a skunk or two. I’m new to SL, and I’m really new to furries, I found the whole experience of being in a crowded place full of beautiful and exotic creatures to be exhiliarating. I looked at my companion across the table.
Thomas, not his real name but what I’ll call him for the sake of this article, is gorgeous. He’s very tall and his leonine head is perfectly formed and suggesting of the strength and power of a lion. His body is both muscular and lean. This is a cat who has spent time on his appearance and it paid off. I was afraid I was staring so I looked away and reviewed my notes.
He had been amused at my request because I was so vague. I told him that I was doing a story on “Furry Sex” and he wanted to know what I was looking for. I had to admit, despite my efforts to sound informed, that I wasn’t sure. As I said, I’m new to SL and when I saw an advertisement looking for writers, I IM’d the woman who had placed the ad. “I think we’re all set,” Players editor Jamie Wheeler had said, “we just have one more story on Furry Sex we need covered, but I don’t think that would interest you.”
I didn’t even know what a furry was, though I had seen a couple of cartoonish animal avatars when I first landed in SL. I didn’t realize that there’s a massive Furry presence here in Second Life, all of them into their own things just like the humans here are into their own things, the only difference being that the Furries look like anthropomorphic animals. Said one furry I interviewed, “trying to generalize furs is hard though, everyone is so different, hence the array of characters we all use. We’re just like the humans, only we don’t wear bare skin like you.”
So now I sat across from this gorgeous lion, I had to admit to myself I was wondering what was under his loin cloth. Would his penis look human? Would it look like an animal’s? I couldn’t believe I was wondering these things, and even more, I couldn’t believe how much this line of thought was turning me on. I tried to focus on my story, but I kept imagining myself before him, pulling the loin cloth to one side…
“Is it a problem that I’m here? I’m the only human in the place Thomas, how do Furries feel about humans in general?” I asked.
He smiled, his fangs showed, I felt my heart race. “Well, some will not really invite you with open arms because we get a lot of human griefers here, but if you’re nice and come back to the same places so that the regulars see that you’re just into the community, you’ll generally be accepted.”
I started to hesitate before the next question, then plunged in anyway. “Is there a taboo about having sex with humans?”
He smiled again. “Not really, but that’s up to the individual. Many furs won’t touch a human, many will.”
“Which are you, Thomas?”
He smiled again and looked at me a minute, I was literally on the edge of my real life seat.
“Is that a question for your story, or are you curious for your own sake?”
I almost melted into my chair I was so turned on by thoughts of this gorgeous creature. “Both,” I said.
The editor of Players hadn’t wanted to let me try this story because I’m so new. Polite and articulate, she beat around the bush a while until finally she asked “Have you even had sex here yet? How can I send a reporter to cover a story on something they haven’t done with people they didn’t know exist? I was thinking of finding a veteran in the arena of SL to go have sex with Furries and come back and write about it.”
“Let me try,” I said, “maybe I’ll surprise you.” I had no idea how I’d surprise her, I still hadn’t figured out anything about SL sex, but here I was, real-life excited about a Second Life lion, with a beautifully heavy tension floating in the air between us.
“I’ve never cybered,” I blurted out to Thomas, for whatever reason, then I added, “but I’d love to try it.”
“Let’s go to my place,” Thomas said with a smile.
A few moments later we were in a big, well appointed and tastefully decorated bedroom. I was very very nervous, and he seemed to know this. “Relax,” he said, echoing exactly what I was telling myself. “Take off your clothes,” he said with a purr.
I stood before the giant lion naked, happy that I’d splurged on a nice skin as he looked at me. He removed his armbands and leggings and I looked at his beautiful tawny fur covered body, his belly and chest creamy white, as he undressed. I couldn’t believe how excited I was as I waited for him to unveil whatever furries have behind their loincloth. He directed me to click on a pink ball, which put me on my knees near him, his loin cloth came off and I moaned with delight.
Behind the loin cloth Thomas had what I guess I should describe as a white furry “sheath” with a large white furry scrotum hanging below it. looking at his sheath, I could see the tip of what I assumed was a big pink cock, I moaned, incredibly excited, it was all so bestial and taboo.
“Click it” he said, as he clicked the blue ball near me, and I did. His big pink penis slowly slid from the white sheath and was soon a fully erect animal cock dangling before me. I took it in my mouth and was soon lost in ecstasy. My first experience with cybersex was magical. Thomas was both gentle and commanding, and we used many of the positions his poseballs and his bed allowed. I watched the big beautiful lion mount this naive human reporter from all angles. I came more than once in real life, especially when his lion cock erupted in a fountain of white cum all over me. I was hooked.
The next day in my First Life, I replayed the sex over and over in my head. By the time I sat down at my keyboard to log on, I was already excited, doubly so when I saw my new friend was on. I IM’d him. “I want more,” was all I said, then I added “and I want to meet your friends.”
We met at Thomas’s room, and he introduced me to Starfire, a beautiful young Fox in harem clothes. She was charming and articulate and explained that her specialty is transforming humans; if a human wants to become a Fur, she will roleplay with them to make it happen in a magical way. She showed me some pictures of the process in which she mates with a human and her ejaculate triggers a transformation, so that at the end of the picture sequence the human is a Fur. Given that I was already excited when I sat down to talk with her, the pictures and her story got me going rather quickly.
A couple of pictures into it, it occurred to me that there must be more to her than meets the eye. “Oh my god,” I said “you have a cock!”
She and Thomas both laughed, and he said, “Yes, meet Starfire, she’s what’s called a Herm.”
Herms are relatively common in the Furry Community, they are female figures, often beautiful females in fact, with either the male sexual part or both the male and the female parts. The term “Herm” is used to cover both those with just the male and the true hermaphrodites. I moaned as I looked at Starfire, which is not her real name, because I realized I was looking at an exceptionally beautiful herm.
She began stripping for me, and as she removed her top I saw that she has six breasts, two where all women have them and then two more sets of smaller breasts below her “normal” set, much like a female fix would reall have for her litter I presume. She must have seen me looking at them for she said “I let many of those I transform suckle, so I need the extra nipples.”
She took off her pants and there was a big floppy pink cock, already out of its sheath. Starfire is a fantastic lover, though i worried about the “transformation” aspect of sex with her. She explained that she only transforms those who want to be transformed, and that if some day in the future I want to join the Furs I was welcome, but she’d happily play with me as a human as long as I liked.
The three of us played for quite a while, when Thomas brought in a deliciously fierce looking black wolf friend to join us. If you remember being a child and being scared of Little Red Riding Hood’s big bad wolf, the wolf you imagined may look a lot like this guy, who we’ll call Dick. His avatar is gorgeous- black and dangerous, with a toothy muzzle and enough flexy fur to make him look like an actual scary werewolf. If I met him under any other circumstances I might have been intimidated or frightened, but in my mood at that time I couldn’t wait for him to fuck me with his big animal cock.
Thomas and Starfire gave me to him, and I lay on the bed with my legs open while Dick undressed. His cock was hidden in a big black sheath but soon revealed itself; huge and black and menacing. He used me, roughly and forcefully, as I told him that that’s how I would like it from the Big Bad Wolf. Some time and a couple of orgasms later, we all cuddled around the room, the poor naive human and her three animal lovers. Spent and happy, scritching after our Yiffy time. My pussy almost purred.
It turns me on greatly to think that I lost my Second Life virginity, and that I lost it to non-humans, and that I lost it in public by writing about it. I was gang banged by three delicious furs, causing me the best first life orgasms I’ve ever had from masturbation, in the course of writing this article. Will I go back to Fur Nation? Will I prowl the furry bars looking to be their human slut? I might, I just might, the rest of this article is as yet unwritten.

Malone, I simply call them as I see them and quite frankly what I see here is a bunch of children with nothing better to do than wax idiotic about a topic and community which they never truly bothered to research.
In addition the fact that so many of them are rather quick to use labels (Lawn for example) as well as false logic (Mudkips) shows that they truly are little more than children, no matter their physical age.
The part of all of this that I find the most amusing is that not a one of them is intelligent enough (or at the very least they give this impression) to be able to tell the difference between a Fantasy Race of beings quite similar to Humans, and a real animal.
I do not see the same sort of outcry being directed at Elves, Vampires, werewolves, or any other Fantasy Race – and I’ve role Played as all of them at one point or another in the past. The only thing they wish to focus on is the sexual aspect of a single community – pitiful really.
Far more pitiful is that some of them profess and push for others to take the Internet less seriously … They need to do the same, in addition to learning what is real and what is fantasy. Hell, they need to learn what is and is not connected to real life actions.
Until such a time as they have show they have learned such things I will continue to call them what they act like – children.

To “Just a Thought”:
Hello. I’m a PN. I freely and openly admit this.
I may not be the smartest person in the world (By far, I’m no scientist or somesuch great profession); but I deem myself at least smarter than a doorknob.
You claim that we do not know anything about the “furry culture”, “mentality”, or whatever the hell it is you were saying.
It’s too long and boring to go into great detail, but suffice it to say that, for a time, we cooperated with the furries in our originating community. Our community once tried to cater to them, to be “nice”.
When they (the furries) started making demands and crying “fursecution” when they were told to fuck off… well, one can quite easily see why we don’t like furries much.
The fact is, furries create drama. There are so many differing sub-groups/factions/cultures/etc within the fandom itself that conflict on a regular basis, drama just flits about with them. And please, don’t make me go into the “lifestylers”, or those who take being a furry as a RELIGION.
We know plenty, “Just a Thought”.
Lastly, I fully expect you to call me a “child” (and ignore most if not all of what I’ve said), since you seem to get off on that. Go ahead, dear.

Actually Nobody, you at the least cite a reason other than the usual BS I’ve seen. for that you have gained my respect.
All I am after and indeed all I have ever been after when I take a stand for any group is the understanding that, while you may have had problems or issues with a specific group, not all members are the same and do not deserve to be painted with the same brush.
There are some issues and conflicts I will not touch with a ten foot pole – but so far? I’ve even stood up when Prokofy starts in on her usual W-Hat BS …. without having ever met a member of the group.
I am quite certain that the group you belong to is not full of grid-crashing script kiddies either. In fact I am certain that some of your members are nice people, when not in the middle of some prank or other such.
I do find it sad that all you and your group know is the drama and such that plagues every online community. It is a sad thing when that is all that another person sees or has ever seen – made worse for the fact that there is little anyone can do to change that.
I thank you for taking the time to be polite enough to explain your reasons and views in a manner contrary to what I have seen in the past.
And now on to the post following Nobody’s: You do realize that you are the pot calling the kettle black correct?

@ Just a thought:
Exactly what is there to research? You put on animal costumes and fuck, and then you attempt to pass it off as normal human behavior. As soon as someone points out just how disgusting it is you scream “fersecution”, claiming that furries are people too. But you’re animals, wait… you’re people… make up your mind. If you contact you animal spirit, you aren’t human any more, because you’ve adopted an animal persona, therefore, you don’t enjoy the rights of a human.
Calling everyone who doesn’t agree with you a child shows your own immaturity, by you standards, anyone who is normal is incredibly immature for thinking you are a freak, and since furries are the minority, you are freaks.

Buick, kindly get your facts straight before you attempt a response to me in the future: I do not claim to be a furry. I am a Role Player and a (very) small time writer. Nothing more, nothing less.
I would have to say that your lack of proper information and the fact that you leap automatically to such a conclusion shows you have an inability to reason and for that matter proves you have an inability to read any post contrary to your very limited experience – and if you’re a member of the same group Nobody is, very bad experience – and see it as anything other than what you believe to be another member of the same community.
again, I have spoken out in defiance of broad generalizations concerning at least three groups now, W-Hat being one of them. funny part of all of this? You’ll continue with the same false logic when I speak out concerning any group that is being painted with a broad spectrum brush.

JaT, calling them Children doesn’t make you look any better. I know some very mature children.
Personally, I could give a F*** if you were a furry or human, but I come to the SL Herald to read the news, not to read erotica. This is erotica, and I’d feel the same way whether it was humans, furries, or space aliens.
Just a Thought

Thank you Buick for proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that you really and truly are devoid of any ability to reason or thin outside of your own little world.
I’ll say it again – I will defend any group which is being painted with a broad spectrum brush – that does not make me a member of any group. There is no debate on this point, there is no ‘closet’ to be in.
As for responding to you? Hmm, sounds like someone doesn’t know how communication and debate works. Nope – not going to bother telling you how it works.
Am I amusing you? That’s good, because you are amusing me. Your need to make a true fool out of yourself and your need to be shown as the rather lack witted peon you really are amuse me to no end.
Are you done with your pitiful attempts at logic? Doesn’t really matter anyway ….
eric, as far as to the maturity of real children is concerned … it does not enter into this at all. I refer to the manner in which they make such absurd leaps in logic when I say they are children.
To be perfectly honest? I’m aware some real children are rather mature, mentally, for their age. Were I referring to their physical age I’d have no used Adolescent – however seeing as I have no evidence of their physical age as of this time I can only go on what they show of their mental state.
forgive me for the way it sounds but they do come across as children to me.
Aside from that they are prime examples of the reason Humanity has so much hatred today … No, I take that back, a prime example of such posts articles for this web log regularly.
They are, however, still one of the reasons. sadly like most they stand by their view and refuse to see anything else (hold the comments on this please, I’m aware of how it sounds coming from me), they constantly paint any group they do not like or deem immoral or abnormal with a broad spectrum brush, ignoring any example to the contrary. In addition any voice that dares to oppose their opinion is seen as being a part of that group, a ‘closet’ or ‘wannabe’ member of that group or an apologist for that group.
Hmm, be that as it may when it is their turn (their group anyway) to stand in the spotlight/hellfire I’ll still stand up and speak contrary to the broad spectrum manner in which they will undoubtedly be targeted.
Until I have solid evidence to support the opinion I am opposing … well I will continue to voice a contrary opinion.
P.S. The evidence I would need would require more than 3/4 of any given group to fit the brush they are being painted with before I begin to doubt my stance. To reverse it? Almost all of the members of any given group would need to fit the criteria they are being painted with. such evidence will be in the form of personal experience and/or research. In short … good luck.

I hate to break it to you kid – If you have a problem with being called a child or a kid or what have you, and this is the important part so pay attention, stop acting like one! Oh – and before you even attempt to say you have no problem with it … you are the one responding to it in a manner which shows you do indeed have a problem. No, sorry – attempting to say you find it amusing does not prove differently either.
Oh – and yes, I’m afraid you do have to prove you’ve grown up and that you are actually capable of functioning in any form of debate or other discourse.
You do get points for trying to be witty however.
In any event, nice attempting to communicate with you … I did learn one thing: It is pointless to attempt to communicate with those who have no desire whatsoever in actually … well, communicating … at all.

Hey guys, I think you are all forgetting the most important issue here…the article! I don’t care what your views on furries are, or if you think yiffing is good or bad. That is not what concerns me, for we are posting comments that are “supposed” to be for this article. And, this article is far out of place here. It should have never made its way here. Not because it is nasty or I don’t agree with it, but because it belongs on a porn or erotica site, not a news one.
As for Just a Thought, you claim that you are calling them children based on what they show to be their mental capacity, yet you claim that you acknowledge that many children are quite mature. Your use of languange suggests that you are wrapping all children up into this low state of mental capacity, no matter what you claim to be your intention. Also, the original reason I called YOU immature for persistently calling them children is the way you stressed it. Rubbing your title of them in their face with the intention of insult. It’s not just that either. You made it a point to insult them and try to “hurt their feelings”, which shows that you are stubborn and immature to the same level that they are. Here is a prime example:
>”I’m sorry? Who are you again? Oh yes, that’s right – another pitiful little twit and a prime example as to why government sanctioned sterilization projects are a good idea.
>when or if you are capable of using that rather badly atrophied pile of goo you call a brain to – you know, think – then perhaps you’ll be more than the sad, sorry little sack of flesh that you are right now.
>Yes folks – I do so despise those that do not think – ever. I also despise children like the one above who actually seem to think they know what they are talking about – a pity …”

On another note…it would appear that the comments to this article are more journalistic than the actual article. The article is nothing more than sexual erotica that has no place here. On the other hand, the comments below, although close-minded in many places, provide a widespread array of passions either for or against a popular subculture. In a way, the comments sections provides more information and an objective picture of the furry culture than the article does. Someone with an objective personality, who can write an article without showing opinion or favor to any viewpoint should read over all this and make an article about this
I would do it, but I don’t know if I would have time to write it. Plus, who knows if anyone would publish the article.

Wow JaT, you’re really good at saying the same stupid insult a bunch of times in different ways but, nevertheless, shit plated with gold is still GOLD PLATED SHIT.
Where did I say I had a “problem with being called a child or a kid or what have you”? My point is that you’re throwing around generalizations about humanity and throwing around dramatic terms like “pitiful” and “fool”. You do this in order to sound like a sophisticated adult above all these “children” but it makes you sound like fucking Count Chocula. Everyone, PN and otherwise, sees through your attempts at intellectualism and derision to compensate for the fact you have absolutely no retort to the people laughing their ass off at you. I’m almost beginning to think you’re intLib.

Hmm, I see the usual suspects here – all of them devoid of rational thought. Hmm, we have new ones here too it seems, and as usual JaT allows his fervor to influence his posts …. Ah well ….
The article? Well written, perhaps the author should seek a career in the field of erotica.
The comments? Where to begin? Does it really matter? As far as I am concerned all sides of this argument need to take a few years away from their keyboards.
JaT – Cool off my friend …. You are not helping your case much.
Matches – Sadly JaT a bit of a problem when it comes to dealing with certain people. frankly I have a problem when it comes to dealing with some of them. In his case? well, having known him for a number of years I can state that he was in no way painting all children as having the same level of maturity. Far from it.
To him a child is the typical ignorant, sometimes innocent sort usually found in your average Grammar School classroom. The sort prone to disagreeing with you no matter what you say and steadfastly refusing to listen to reason.
Of course when he applies it to people it takes on an added connotation: The spoiled brat that is never wrong no matter what. You know the sort: The ones that take whatever their experience may be – be it good or bad – and treat everyone that even touches an area that they think connects to that experience as being part of it. Perhaps not all of that fits in together but I think you understand yes?
Now, I could perhaps address each and every person that has responded to him … but I will not, instead I will respond to the last post by Mudkips and pray that JaT doesn’t dig himself a deeper hole …
Mudkips – I’m afraid your own post can be turned right around and aimed right back at you. The spirit of your response shows this quite clearly. The difference between you and him? You actually think he cares if people laugh. I’ve known the man long enough to know that he was probably sitting there, laughing at you as he typed out each and every response to you.
something you forgot – or perhaps did not know – when you typed this: “Where did I say I had a ‘problem with being called a child or a kid or what have you’?” The overall tone of your posting says a great deal more than the content of the post. When you have nothing else to go on often this tone, combined with the content, is used to derive an impression of the person behind the screen.
In short? I can see where you can come across exactly as JaT has portrayed you.
On the flip side I’ve told him countless times before to change the way he handles some situations.
I must say that I am laughing at all of this. No, I’m no longer addressing any one person anymore, simply everyone that has had a comment not directly related to the article itself. I always wonder why no one can simply agree to disagree and be done with it when it comes to certain topic – then again I am guilty of dragging such things on for days myself.
I will say this, under normal circumstances I’d jump at the chance to rail against certain types of people and scatter my world view across several comments. Not this time however, I think I’ll put my abject hatred of Humanity on the back burner for now [gee, guess that's why he and I get along] and simply sit back and watch as this unfolds.
In closing I would like to say this: Everyone needs to take a break from posting to this particular entry for a while …. Chill out and gain some perspective.

Well, I don’t know what you guys will make of this, but in SL I’m a Trans-dimensional Neepong from Thermodypae and I wouldn’t have it any other way. This is what I feel I’ve always been since birth, and SL gives me a chance to live out this life.
Neepong sex involves three (actually 4) parties, and cannot take place unless all three are consentual to it. Unlike human “male and female” there is an A-Pong, a Dugong, and a Neepong. A sexual encounter among us involves an eating cycle, where the Dugong provides the sustenance through a series of tubular “teats” as it were to the A-Pong and the Neepong. Upon successful completion of the eating cycle, the sexual encounter then moves on to the stimulation cycle, where the A-Pong and Neepong lie on their backs while the Dugong stimulates their various reproductive organs with a device called a Plooker.
After being sufficiently stimulated (which can take from 10-20 minutes of your time), the sexual encounter then moves on to the reproductive stage, wherein the A-Pong and Neepong parasitically attach to the Dugong until they become a symbiotic union, creating a being which is called a Rappagong. After a gestation period of seven days the Rappagong lays an embryonic gel which dissolves the Rappagong for nutrition and eventually evolves into a newborn A-Pong, Dugong or Neepong, and the cycle continues.
We consider this an ultimate expression of love and other forms of one-on-one “mating” seem disgusting to us. Can you imagine a Neepong and an A-Pong getting it on without a Dugong? The thought of such deviant behavior is totally revolting to us. If you want to talk about perversion, humans should be castrated and forced to sleep with their partner AND their disembodied member to remind them what a beautiful thing a troika (threesome) can be!

YAY, about time you guys did an article about yiffing, especially interspecies
Toungue in cheek comment…
Of course it is easy to see that discussion on this topic shows that the “Second life community as a whole” find this topic offensive so lets form a group… Hmmm, we could call it… AAVY (Avatars Against Virtual Yiffing).
Dear Second Life Resident:
Linden Lab would like to inform you that your land or business is possibly not in compliance with Second Life’s Community Standards. The depiction of sexual activity involving humans and furs may violate real-world laws in some areas, and the Second Life community as a whole has made it clear that it views such behavior to be broadly offensive. Linden Lab chooses not to allow the advertising or promotion of yiffing or related activities in any public
forum — including in-world textures, classified ads, the Second Life forums, or parcel descriptions.
Advertisements, promotions, or descriptions of such activities must be removed to avoid account sanctions. Any account asserting an species that is not human will be closed.

Reality = JustAThought’s sock puppet
If you were smarter you’d be able to sock puppet without failing
who knows if the comment nazi mod will let this post through..

So what is the point of this article? Perhaps its one of the better ways to show a misunderstood and discriminated against communities. If I were to describe sexualized ageplay to someone outside of SL, I would say “virtual child porn” and people would understand that. If asked about Gor outside of SL, I can always say “medievel fantasy where men are men and women are slaves” and people would understand that. But people outside of SL may not understand “people that look like anthropomorphic animals.” At least with this article, I can appreciate and describe some of the appeal.

I applaud thee!
Great story. A little erotica in the Herald never hurt anyone before (never saw complaints about the post 6 articles anyway).
And top all the negative commenters and haters:
You better get used to it… Us furries are here to stay, abnd we ain’t going anywhere. Adapt, or continue to be grossed out. (or just avoid furry sims LOL)
Your choice.
I applaud again!!

Hmm interesting result how “children” that JaT was calling got upset and brawls on him with.. uhh…. about something.
Anywho.. yeah, yiffing. You don’t see Blue Linden doing that, have you?
(He’s the only furry linden out there… I think.)

lmao….Reality = JaT. He tried to pull the same trick in this thread: http://www.secondlifeherald.com/slh/2007/03/ll_ageplay_shoc.html, and probably many others. It’s awesome how one half of his schizoid personality implores the other half to “cool off my friend”. When read in the light of knowing that Reality and JaT are one and the same, his last post becomes comedy gold.

Basicly; ageplay, furs, gor(?), drows, fairies, elfs, droids, robots…
It´s in all of them. Just like in reality. Some people practise sex some don´t. Some people separate roleplaying from sex. For me, RPG and sex are by default two different things.
So what if someone thinks native american males are more hot than beer-bellyed white men? Or a dark-skinned drow looks hotter than a pale human female in comparision. In Second Life it is possible to bring your fantasies alive.
I am trying to say; each of these groups are entitled to have fantasies and are entitled to experiment their fantasies in this safe environment. Here they do not harm others.
But can we say for certain if they are or are not able to keep it inside SL?? Is there reasonable doubt?
We know, that the female loving native american males is able to find that IRL. But will she? Not nessessarily, since she wishes for the qualities she sees in movies: wild bold self-confident people. In real life the natives wear the same clothes as the white and share same problems.
The only difference, what makes us react strongly about ageplay and furs, is the fact animals and children exist in real life. But children and animals do not play this “game”. I rather have these fantasies be fullfilled in virtual reality over real life.
We ban ageplay, then we ban furries, what will be next, the Gor?
Intolerance eats diversity
But back to topic; very well written article, for an erotic magazine. Not for a newspaper
FYI: I am adult human vanilla. And I like it that way. I just have understanding for imagination.

:Yawn: Lawn, Infected, might want to try brushing up on your (nonexistent)deductive reasoning skills.
seriously, I did not think you two could really be that fucking stupid …. Of course I could use the same (nonexistent) logic and declare that each and every member of your respective groups (assuming the two of you are from two different groups) are all really the same person.
The saddest part is, children like the two of you always resort to the exact same tactics when it looks like anyone is going to ruin your ‘fun’ or make you look like the immature, lack witted peons you really are.
The most amusing part of this? You frankly don’t give a shit either way – it’s just another tactic for you to use. even sadder is that someone out there will believe you …
More’s the pity I suppose ….

Of course Reality is Just a Thought’s sock puppet, look at the condescending and narcissistic tone of both. Read the other SLH entry and you can see they both become self proclaimed experts on any subject and refute the knowledge of anyone that could be right.
Talking to yourself isn’t healthy, you should get help.
And as for Just a Thought/Reality: Your insane ramblings are the equivalent of our posts. We just say it faster, without repeating ourselves, and without using an online dictionary to find long words.
And know for: “I am not a sock puppet you stupid, pititful, foolish, childish child.”
And saying “childish child” was meant to be redundant, you put so much emphasism on it was needed.

:Yawn: You have proof aside from posts to a web log? Do you have a real life name? Address? Any solid, concrete evidence to back up your pitiful and childish tactic Buick?
No? Didn’t think so/
I think that about covers it now … Really to tell the truth you’re wasting my time, and your own.
I’ll be back when there’s something here to actually debate.

Half of these comments are nothing but a continual game of comment tennis. The other half seem to show valid enough opinions, hell even those in the comment tennis do contain the occasional gem.
My opinion? Article’s good, though this isn’t the place for it.
My two cents on everything else? Jesus H. Christ I haven’t seen so much bullshit in such a long time. Once more a topic where the bulk of those posting seem to think they somehow know everything there is to know.

::sex with animals
Can animals use a computer? Can animals speak, type, have a spirited debate, run SL or create an avatar in the Metaverse? No? Well, then there’s no sex with animals here. Nothing more than a group of people pretending to be fantasy creatures they enjoy — no different than all the vampires or demons roaming around (and likewise shagging each other’s brains out all over the place, for those of you who run SL with your eyes covered up).
And many of the reactions here are the very reasons the Furries keep to themselves. They generally don’t go looking for trouble and mind their own business. It’s a shame that so many “ordinary” citizens of SL can’t seem to extend the same courtesy back.

“Look here you little child. You are such a childish little child who is not mature in any way. You suck ass and I don’t like you. Truly, you are unable to put together thoughts and words in a clever way you stupid little child. You’re a useless sack of crap, you useless little peon. I mean seriously, I’ll say it again and again (and again and again and again etc.) you are completely deviod of the ability to use your brain little child. Little kids like you should not try to talk when the adults are talking, you child. You are very dumb, and I don’t agree with your views, so you are stupid and an asshole. So, go fuck off you tiny, baby child. You little, tiny, infant, child. You pathetic weak embryotic cell! You are nothing!!! *Yawn* Your antics are getting old little child, you are starting to sound repetitive. I mean you really are. You sound really repetitive. I just want you to understand that your points repeat over and over. So, that means you are repetitive. Redundant also. You are repetitive and redundant. So yea, your repetition bores me little child. So yea, stop wasting your life posting idiotic comments you idiot…er, child!”
Gah! Usually I’m not bothered by people’s posts. I take them for what they are and try to understand their point of view. But man, you sound like a broken record that just keeps going on and on. Your stubborness is incorrigible. You barely listen to what others say other than those you are going to call stupid children. Even your friend, Reality, told you to cool off, but you didn’t listen. You just keep going on and on with the same old crap. Can’t you make some new points? Or at least stop posting and start over on a new article? I mean really, I am pretty new to reading the Herald so this is the first time I have seen you post, but do comments on articles you post on ever end?
Anyway, done with that rant. I think I’m probably done with this article. Time to find something new.

Cay says:
I think this raises two good points:
- I’m not a furry (or furry fancier), but part of the appeal seems to be wild, unrestrained, “animalistic” sexuality: to have really great sex without the repression and inhibition you have as a human. Several other popular fantasies have a similar kind of appeal: the hermaphrodite fantasy (attractive female body .. but oh my God! She’s got a cock! And male sex drive to go with it!), and as you say, the Native American fantasy.
- When there is a reality we can compare it against, these fantasies seem really false. Some users are, in RL, Native Americans. There are people who, in RL, have intersex conditions (and maybe some of them use SL). But the gap between the fantasy and the reality is really striking. I’ll let the furries off the hook on this one: rather than an bad imitation of something real, they come across as something with no real-world equivalent: non-humans with human-type intelligence.

PS. I thought that the writing style of the original article was fine for erotica, but not OK as journalism.

This’ll piss you off: You are a closet furry because you own a fursuit and claim you’re not a furry.
Now back to the original subject: This article is terrible, I have never seen anything so pathetically attempted to be passed off as journalism. This is little more than pornography in text form and proves even further that furries only care about yiffing.
Furries suck. Yiff in Hell.

LOL NO. Furfags don’t keep to themselves, that’s why they’re such good targets and why they deserve this shit.

Nice piece, well written. As usual, anything sexual produces all sorts of amusing comments based on people’s prejudices and limits. Great job.
