Fetish. Called Furries
http://pressedfur.coolfreepages.com/press/vanityfair/
enough out there to get a website going, so I guess it is normal for a certain part of the population.
Good luck with whatever you are dealing with- dd
no
Totally- didn’t you see that episode of sex and the city where miranda was diggin on the hot dog that said eat me??
Since ‘normally’ you dont FIND many people in fursuits or mascot costumes, how could anyone tell you whether or not it was ‘normal’ to be attracted to one?
There are websites for that. People who are attracted to furry costumes have a name (ca,’t remember which one, though).
Yeh I guess if you’re into the beastality scene…
Very. XD There’s a whole subsection of the fetish roughly called "yiffy". Where a normal human male or female has an attraction to anthromorpic (humanistic) animals.
Especially guys liking women with cat ears and tails. Have you never wondered why catsuits are so popular of halloween costumes?
Why not?
I suppose that could be classified as a fetish, and although it isn’t too common, I don’t think it’s all that abnormal. Some people like being tied up, others like people in costumes. If you were attracted to the animal itself, that would be a whole other story. But I’m assuming you’re attracted to the idea of an anthropomorphic character – a person IN a suit/costume.
If it’s what you like and it’s not hurting anyone, I don’t really see a problem. You might not have a widely shared fetish, but there’s nothing really wrong with it.
It is considered a paraphilia … a fetish. Such people are sometimes called "furries".
Why not. I need to ask why is this question in this section?
is it the suit or the actions of the (caracter)?
I wouldn’t think so, but it takes all kinds of people to make a world. Whatever floats your boat.
Most likely that would be a fetish of the "uniform" type. Great one though!
I’ve heard about this type of thing. A group of people who have a fursuit fetish get together and have parties just like swingers. They call these parties furpiles. If you like this kind of stuff then thats your business, even though most people would consider this weird.
Not so weird.
Wasn’t there an episode of CSI that took place at a convention of folks into this?
I think otters are hot
But that’s a totally different thing.
There are some responses here that are not 100% correct. First; it is true that furries are sometimes motivated by sexual desires and engage in sexual acts, it doesn’t seem to be the primary motivating factor for all furries. Furries who like to have sex in the fursuits are sometimes “furverts.” The surveys done at furry conventions have shown this is a small population. For more details, I suggest looking up “furry fandom” on wikpedia.
Is it normal? That is not really the correct question to ask. And I can sympathize with you because it is a question I myself have struggled to answer for seven years.
What you really seek is to know whether or not it is wrong. The only thing I can say is this.
Start by asking yourself is it the costume and the thought of wearing the costume that is arousing? Or is it the idea of snuggling a big interactive “living” stuffed animal? If you answer the first question, then what you have is merely more or less a second skin fetish, one that involves mascots. A second skin gives you a temporary identity and with it, a new set of behavioral norms as that identity that you might wish to explore.
And second skin and clothing fetishes are rather common. So in this way it is normal, but within reason. I will get to the reason in a moment.
The reason you might think it feels “wrong” is because you do not think that characters like that should be the subject matter of adult situations and scenarios. Anthropomorphic characters are introduced to us very, very young. They market stuff to kids and the kids at heart. And our society, and indeed it should, says that exposing young people to that is taboo.
The issue so many have is that they find themselves confusing the fact mascots turn them on with the fact they are clean family fun. You can look at attractive people and not feel guilty, though it sounds odd, admittedly, I have a hard time saying it, looking at mascots if they excite you should not make you feel guilty. If you are anything like me, this has been with you a long, long time. I can remember going to baseball games when I was 10 and 11 and being aroused when I looked at the mascot and thought about being inside the suit and looking out. And I have heard this same story from scholastic and professional mascots as well as furries alike.
It is only wrong or abnormal if you behave in a wrong or abnormal manner. Keep the sexual aspect of it in the bedroom where it belongs. And get yourself accustomed to wearing your codstumes so that you are not obviously physically aroused while wearing it outside of bedroom situations. With enough time wearing the suits for business or pleasure will become automatic and so will your mindset.
I hope this has helped you.
If you are attracted to a big interactive “living, breathing” stuffed animal I also do not think this is wrong. Again, we are introduced to these early in our lives as teddy bears and other plushy creatures. The provided us comfort or a sense of safety or security. If I am at Disney world, I will walk up and hug Mickey Mouse; I don’t care what people think. I like hugging my teams’ mascots too.
Again, this is also abnormal or wrong only if you are abnormal or wrong in how you conduct yourself around them. Don’t act like a creep or a horney little freak and things are okay. If it is sexual, I would suggest snuggling in private and just keep it behind closed and locked doors.
If you are a mascot, do not reveal it to anyone you work with. People tend to assume the worst will be your norms.
