Here you can discuss the furry culture.
When and How did you realise you were a furry?
How do you cope with being different to all your friends and family?
How did you choose your fursona? When did it come to you?
Discuss anything here.

> My progress to being furry was a long one. I think it started when playing D&D, I was fascinated by the opportunity to play a werewolf. I kept on searching the internet for similar stuffs, which pushed me onto furry sites. I liked them a lot, so thats really where it started. And, as they say, I have not looked back.
> My parents (if they know, which they might, but only as I was starting) don't seem to care, but my brother views me as some kind of outcast for it, and occasionally tries to use it to degrade me. It sucks really, I suppose its why I don't go out of my way to tell everyone.
> I don't have a fursona.

At the moment, I see no point in telling my family. Unless I go to a furcon, I doubt they will know anytime soon. ninja

It wasn't a spark of interest, but a moment of realization, when I first got pointed at an anthropomorphic MUCK. I said to myself, 'Myself, there really are other people who share your fascination with the not-quite-human.' and myself said back to me, 'Back to me, they're called furries. Or rather, we're called furries.' And it's been daisies and rainbows ever since.
Well, sort of. If you want to see the ugly side of me being a fur, go to the GD, look up the 'Furry Interviews' thread, and read in. If you go back far enough, you can see me arguing, complete with logic and cited sources, and you can also see me getting ignored/ridiculed for bringing logic into an argument.
Point being, bigots are bigots, furs are an easy target, and no amount of reasoning ever works. I finally grokked this, and came around to the 'big heavy club' philosophy of arguing.

sweatdrop well ...let's see...I frist found out about furry from my friends boyfriend he wanted me to draw him as a mouse he used the word "fursona" and I was like "whodadidwhada?O.o"
then he showed me a site that had some furry pic's on it, and I was like "hey that's cool!" but I wasn't into it that much then.
but time went by and I slowy became furry.
How I came about my fursona....
Now I am still learning about Furry, and I'm still not sure what I am but all my signs are pointing to the fox, althought I'm most like-ly a wolf, cat, or cow...but I tryed being those animals but they didn't feel like me.
but like I said in one of the other forums ,and you mostly think I'm crazy for this, but I believe that I was ment to be a animal. But sence I'm in this body I might as well make the best of it. I really don't mind being human, that's why I think I might be a cat.
=^-^= well I guess that's all I have to say.

MY folks just got clued in a while ago, and they tease me about it. So they took it rather well. The first thing my mom said after I told her was "Well, it looks like Kam (my lil' sis) will have that kitty she always wanted."

When and How did you realise you were a furry?
I didn't, nor do consider myself one. I do however have much interest in them.
How do you cope with being different to all your friends and family?
They don't consider me different. I really am not.
How did you choose your fursona? When did it come to you?
I wish I could come up with one, if anybody knows how to help me here, please PM me.

Actually, I discovered furry when a friend of mine did a school report on werewolves. I was intrigued by it and eventually stumbled upon Yiffstar. Imagine my surprise. I was confused and eventually found more (less pornographic mind you) websites on being a fur. I realized that I was exactly like these people (furs?) and I've been fighting off creeps who think they're foxes ever since.
My parents definiately don't know. My dad would burn me at the stake. And my mom would just be all..."Zuh?" I don't think it's something that needs to be shared with the world. o_O
My fursona is a pink and black bajackal or... bat/jackal.

I'm a relatively new fur (January is when I started) But I'm known to be a little nuts. Once I find a new interest, I jump in over my head and go all the way. Currently I have fursuit and art commissions going, I also own a tail and ears and am a very active member of our local community.
I was trying to hide furry from my parents, but I stay at home on the weekends and my parents kept pressing me to tell them where I was spending all my time outside of work on the weekends (I was getting home pretty late) So I told them about it.....yeah, that didn't go over too well.
But that really doesn't bother me. All of my friends outside of work right now are furries, and we hang out all the time and do stuff.......It's been a blast so far, and we're having another BBQ this saturday.
All my work friends know (I wore my ears and tail to work one day 0.0 they were all kinda shocked.....) I swear everyone in my college has seen me in my ears and tail cause I wear them all the time at school......For the most part, people just think it's a bit odd and when they ask why, I say cause I want to. That satisfy's most, and odd looks no longer bother me.
I never really tried to develop my fursona, just when I started in the fandom, it just seemed right so I ran with it. It's kinda funny, when I meet other furries, they almost always know my species right off the bat. (wolf if anyone was wondering. I'm white with black markings on the ears and tail tips, I also Have black wings.....) As for My fursona's Story, His history is still coming to me piece by piece, I know that He's ages old, and one of the first anthro's on his world. He's fought in numerous wars and currently dresses like a punk. More will come later I'm sure...
Anyway, wow, I've really got to talking. I have a tendency to ramble when you allow me to talk about myself.......

I don't think the person I'm with right now has any diversity at all. He seems to be the type that would be completely content just using missionary for the rest of his life. My sexual ambitions reach father. He's even uncomfortable to handcuff me. It's not that I'm unsatisfied in the sexuality of our relationship, I just would like to share an experience with him. I don't want to push him into something he doesn't want to do... but how can I slowly ease him into something I want him to do while making sure he'll be ok with it? I know this isn't a dear Abby, but I don't know where else to turn.
-:-Edit-:-
It's alright. You don't have to help me anymore...
We had a talk last night. I didn't tell him, before I could we had a conversation about his sexual past and fantasies. He doesn't have any... He did tell me that nothing has come up yet. Meaning no one has suggested anything. He said a comment later in a different conversation, "You feel like a kitty, Meeow!" It made me think he might at least be into Neko. I asked, he had no clue what it was. I told him it was people with kitty features. He said he saw a commercial about the play cats. He used words like freak, mutant, and deformed. I felt like my heart was being ripped out. I can never tell him. I don't know if I can deal with that. I want him to know all of me. Every time I look at him, I forget all about it. Maybe it's not that important. Maybe I can hide it...

When and How did you realise you were a furry?
well, about 6 months ago I realized that I was a fur. I was a fur longer than that though due to the fact that I was always acting as a cat and telling people to call me "Neko" so that's basically how I figured it out.
How do you cope with being different to all your friends and family?
Well, most of my friends accept me the way I am and I haven't told my family about it. So all in all, I don't really have to cope.
How did you choose your fursona? When did it come to you?
Well, I knew I was some sort of cat but for the longest time I didn't know what kind of cat. I was doing a dream quest one night and a panther with strange markings came to me. I thought "well, there's my spirit guide." but I never saw it again when I did my dream quests and I realized that the question on my mind that night was about my fursona. So I decided that it was my fursona mrgreen

When and How did you realise you were a furry?
The Furverted way XD Because of Anime I saw Hentai which lead to Yiffy and then learned more about the culture and figured out it was right for me. Weirdly enough when I liked anime I started an anime club at my school that was ran by my furry friend at the furmeet i went to after the anime club. I never met her before that, but I feel it's all strangely connected. eek
How do you cope with being different to all your friends and family?
I'm not. My mom has become a furry, a lot of my friends and furries and I go to a local furmeet every week.
How did you choose your fursona? When did it come to you?
At first it was the most attractive furry to me then I started to realize that I had a lot in common with that animal and I started to love it and it became my favourite animal as well as it fit some of the weird traits I had. My fur name just came to me and made sense.
