    I…still don’t get it. If it’s animal what’s turning you on, it’s zoophilia, right? So what’s the difference between wanting to screw a dog and imagining you screw a dog while screwing someone in dog suit?

    And I don’t ask in negative manner - literally, I don’t get the difference, but asking friends on the furry side of the force get’s them all worked up.

      Some/most furries are attracted to anthropomorphic animals.

      Anthropomorphic animals are fictional beings who can be described as animals with human intelligence and often human posture.

      The reason why zoophilia is problematic is that no real animal can consent (except humans), so having sex with then is always rape. The human intelligence part, combined with the fact that anthropomorphic animals can communicate takes that problem away.

      Furries probably get so worked up because they already receive a lot of hate which causes them to see hate when there is none.

      Hope this helps.

      the people below make good points, but my main thing was being a furry doesn’t have to be inherently sexual. could be you just think anthropomorphic animals are cool in a platonic way and are still disgusted by the idea of fucking an animal. I mean, it’s not like furry-cons are big orgies right? why wouldn’t they be if it was really just a sex thing
