Furry: A Lifestyle Or A Fetish

[lupestripe]

I think the furry fandom blurs the distinction between fetish and lifestyle. I guess the two aren't mutually exclusive but some consider furry as being purely a fetish whereas others consider it a lifestyle. If you consider other fandoms - anime, Star Wars, cosplay etc - is the difference between sexuality and lifestyle so clearly marked there? I am not so sure.

So ultimately, what is furry for you - a fetish or a lifestyle? Or perhaps it's a little from both. When something is spiritual, is there a real distinction between lifestyle and sex anyway?

Hmm, this sounds intriguing. Does it just have to be across the US though? :(

If you can solve the logistics problem of getting a touring bus across the Atlantic in an economical way, we can have Yiffy Party Bus Europe too.

The discussion is in my journal post of the same name.

C'mon and join the party.

We aren't just yiffing the entire time either. There will be a load of guerilla fursuiting. And stopping at a national park in every state we hit.

;P

I wouldn't have a problem with living in a cave!
doG knows I've crawled through enough of them...

The raw meat part is a bit much, though. Can't I just bring a camp stove?

well you already know how I see it and my theories about it's evolution


but it is nice to see the opinions of others..and that it is considered a lifestyle that includes sex..... not something for the sex itself
