Is your mate a furry?

[shoki_de_nai]

My mate wasn't when I met him, but now he is. xd  

[Constance Ringwood]

My mate is! We're not married yet, but would an engagement count?  

[Selene Aries]

Yep, he is. 3nodding  

[Ceymore]

Mine is not  

[Manda_Tifa]

Mine is not...but he's cool with the fact that I am, if not a little confused about it. blaugh  

[Kristall Fox]

My husband/mate is. He was before I figured out that I was. He helped me decide I was, and always have been, a fur and what would be my fursona, but not in some "OMG, ILOVEYOUI'MOBSESSEDANDHAVETOBEJUSTLIKEYOU" way.. He helped me figure it out when we were just friends and I was dating a non-furry (but furry-friendly/sympathetic/supporter-without-being-a-fur).  

[Sunegami]

My boyfriend is, but kind of by proxy. He's not really "serious" about it, I created his fursona for him, and he thinks the yiff I look at on FA is more funny than attractive/arousing. . . but I still consider him a kind of furry, and he doesn't object. whee

Well, I'm actually single now thanks to the army, but anywho. Two of my exes were not furries, and two of them were. While I loved all of them, the furry mates were in my opinion easier to keep around. If nothing else we had a deep rooted common ground that was always there to talk about. But I'm sure I'd be just as happy settling down with a non-fur. So either way, I don't think it matters, love is love, just let it happen and it should last forever if it was meant to be, regardless of your interests. At least I hope that's how it works. xp

Mine isnt. Once I sell my kidneys for my batsuit shes in for a bit of a shock.

My mate and I grew up together in high school and pretty much discovered our furriness together.. I remember finding furry sites bookmarked on his computer around the time I was finding them myself but I had to tease him for it before I got the courage to tell him I liked it, too.

At first, I was still pretty freaked out about being attracted to therianthropes. razz

 

[CaprinaePsi]

Well, she's not my mate (yet), but I don't think she's a furry. We talked on the phone a few nights ago, and she mentioned wanting to try out the fursuit thing (at least I'm pretty sure that's what she meant (she said costumes)), so who knows, she might be a furry in the making.

She knows I'm a furry, though, so I know she's cool with it.

I spoke too soon, she's no longer mine...  

[Mythrill Man]

No. I once half-jokingly mentioned something about being turned out by turned on by cartoons to my girlfriend, and she seemed horrified by the thought, so I never brought it up again.

Am I alone on this?

Going with the sexual route to introduce someone to Furry is never a good idea. sweatdrop

We maybe a highly sexualized community, but the fandom really isn't about wanting to have sex with cartoon animals.

that's a great way to come out as a freak, plain and honest o.o


just put yourself in their perspective, it's a bit freaky, and without context outright incomprehensible, it's best to explain what you find 'apealing' rather than sexy and slowly come to a compromise
