What is Furry Sex?

Because “funny-animal” characters are often used in children’s entertainment, furry fandom has long faced a dilemma that has caused numerous arguments and divisions within the fandom. A large number of furry fans are adults who enjoy themes that are generally considered unsuitable for children (which parallels other fandoms, such as science fiction and horror). In particular, the fandom possesses a thriving pornographic element, which furry fans refer to as yiff or spooge. Fans supporting unrestricted content in furry fandom (including a wide range of adult-oriented material) are constantly opposed by fans who seek a “cleaning up” of the fandom in order to present a more family-oriented image to the general public. In some cases furry fans have expressed that this task is more of a trial than anything else, as they maintain that the media coverage of the fandom has in some instances damaged its reputation by casting it in a more deviant light than it deserves. Opponents of the adult element of the fandom generally claim that the pornography makes up a disproportionately large amount of the fandom, and estimates of the relative amount of adult content present in the furry fandom vary widely.
