Ovipositioner

[Saidin]

Why is dressing up as a bunny seen as sexy, while dressing up as a wolf seen as fucked up in the head?

I'd put my dick in the tenderness of a submissive bunny. I wouldn't put my dick into a savage wolf.

[Fediel]

And if the submissive bunny was a 58 year old male and the savage wolf was a 18 year old supermodel?

I see furries as more of a beastiality fetish than anything else. Thats why I think it is so odd and not really accepted. Foot fetish, lingerie, whatever having to do with two consenting humans is fine by me. I may not be into it, but Im not going to talk shit about it. Im down to try most things, but dressing up like a stuffed animal or whatever isnt my thing.

Ovipositioner?! I 'ardly know 'er!

The answer is always both.

Lots of fetishes are and will be fostered or born specifically due to the internet. You can't have a fetish for jacking off to the AIM logo if the internet doesn't exist.


And there are plenty of fetishes that have gone from seemingly singular incidents into communities with solid foundations supporting message boards, meetings, etc.

iPhone has a "gaydar" app where you can basically see where anyone who's signed up to it is located and a message. That sort of tech allows these fringe folks to find likeminded people.

Bugchasing (looking for people hiv/aids infected to fuck) is a hell of a lot easier with the internet.


And so yea, those internet communities take someone who is bugchasing-curious and gives them a platform to explore that, where before you might dismiss it. Pre-internet, someone who was 20% interested in bugchasing would possibly never act on it. But when you can go to a yahoo chatroom called pozpokerz and be in the middle of it those 20% interested are converted. Yum.


It works both ways as well, seeing the fringes make them less fringe and possibly less interesting. I've no idea if it balances out all of the people who feel inspired to follow suit, but message boards like /b/ are the fringe-culture that allow you the glance at all that illegal and ultra-decadent shit and I'm sure plenty of folks get their fill of the fringe on those boards.

I am personally immune to seeing a message board for people who like putting biting insects all over their dick, but there are clearly people who, when seeing it, unlock the inner awesome within them and upload all their own pics.


In fact, I think digital photography is equally complicit here. Webcams and digital cameras allow you to not have to get your "hey look at this shot of a raccoon clawing my asshole" developed at the photomat.

I agree with the above. Technology and the internet have, in a way, turned everyones bedroom into a potential porn studio or worse, and far from prying eyes. Add the general anonymity of forum accounts that litlte fetish will flourish. This forum definetly proves it.

Nearly everyone i've explained the years I played EQ to will recoil in terror, like i'd just also mentioned I ran a backstreet abortion clinic for Al-Qaeda. The idea that i'd spent years running around collecting weapons and punching dragons was actually a bit of a shock to some of the people I'd attempted to explain the game to.

On this site however, people who haven't heard of EQ are the minority. You can spout LF 2M SEB, or post your gay West Wastes dragon train (which we all did but only you posted yours), without pitchforks and torches and chanting ect. Sure you'll get flamed, in some cases alot, but it's from the same community and about the same thing. Even being an MMORPG it's easy to get isolated as a player when you're not actually in the game, but throw in guild sites and forums celebrating the game and it's far easier.

Of course in the grand scheme of things that's a tame example. It's definetly applicable to most communities though, and these communities would be far smaller and in some cases not exist without the internet, and of course net personas.

Wut?

Why would anyone want to do that?... Nevermind, why would anyone want to do half the fetishes in the world?

Some people get turned on by some things, some get turned on by others. I know my wife doesn't get turned on by mine, she thinks its weird, but I don't really get turned on by hers either, so it evens out... though I bend to hers alot more often than she to mine.

P.s. Furries aren't that bad (the art, atleast) but convention go-ers? That takes balls.

Humans will do anything if you let them, gotta set up a ridged framework of law or else they go nuts. Society decides what is depraved and enforces social norms.

On the internet no identity means no society to regulate.

When the dollar collapses and society breaks down you will be asking "Did the emergence of the wastelands facilitate or rather create the huge swaths of different fetishes that exist out there?". Whole world is just a bunch of jerks trying find new ways to get their rocks off.

The internet started off as a place where people could talk in private about their "nuke Russia off the map" fetish, morally little has changed over the decades.

Wut?

They wanna run around pretending they are Bertoxxulous: The Plague Bringer.

Not to side track this wonderful conversation that is turning into bugchasing (never in my life heard of that shit before) but I was wondering what you guys would do if you somehow realized a member of your family was a active real to life furry? I would like to say I would not shun them like Charlie the Unicorn, but really I have no idea what I would do.

On a side note, not sure if the Internet has been a catalyst for my own fetishes, but I am sure that it has desensitized me to a lot. I watched 2Girls1Cup for the first time and actually found it funny, I watched 4GirlsFingerPaint and made it through the whole way. The only one I actually gagged to was Mr.Hands, but what is sickening to think is that the internet in all its glory has desensitized us all to actually stomach this shit and enjoy it.

Who cares what your family members do as long as it's not illegal. It's not YOUR sex life. Tolerance.

I have a legitimate question here though and for some unexplained reason, only FoH can answer it. Did the emergence of the internet facilitate or rather create the huge swaths of different fetishes that exist out there? I mean, lingerie is a fetish. But we as a society openly celebrate that fetish. We even have lingerie themed "Super Bowls". With the exception of fetishes that physically or mentally hurt others (pedo, non consensual acts, etc) - I am talking about consenting activities between majority aged adults here - why are some fetishes relegated to the furthest fringes of society and others openly embraced? Is there some kind of evolutionary angle? General societal evolution leading to some fetishes being preferred over others? Something else entirely?

What about the notion that sexuality is in fact not even a fluid entity and evolves and changes over time. Just look at "erotic" photos of the 1920's. Wow, ankles! Now, even anal sex is bordering on no longer taboo.
Discuss.

To the OP: Taboo, by definition, is to do something "forbidden", something that is traditionally considered social unacceptable.

So, as things become more socially acceptable, the taboo becomes the next unacceptable thing. The "thrill" of doing something wrong or "naughty".

Read The Story of O (it's a short read) and then consider it was written in 1954.
