Need a little advice and support...

Furry Reddit - Mon 12 Jan 2015 - 19:23

I've been really hesitant to post this, but I've had it on my mind for a while. I know this might not be the best place to post it, but you guys might be a bit more... open-minded and helpful than others.

To explain a bit, I'm a gay male, 20 years old (will be 21 in March). I live in New York state (near Albany) and go to college in western New York. My family and I are on... odd terms in regards to my sexuality. They don't like it, but they have the stance of "love the sinner, hate the sin" kind of thing. They don't like that I'm gay, but they still love me. They also don't know I'm a furry.

I've had three relationships with other guys, with two of them being online and ending badly. The first one was a guy I met online and he wasn't who he said he was. There's a long scary story that goes with that, but suffice to say it's over. My parents intervened and forced me to break contact. They tried to launch an investigation against him and he eventually died of a heart attack, which my parents think is due to the stress he was going through with police starting to go after him. This was all online.

Boyfriend number two introduced me to furries and I haven't gone back. He was sweet, adorable, funny, and wonderful. We dated for over a year. But he had serious depression and issues with giving me space, so I had to end it. I still love him and miss him, but it just wasn't working. Plus we were only online with no idea how we would meet in real life.

Boyfriend three was the first one I had in real life. It was amazing, but he loved me much more than I loved him. I could see that it wasn't going to work out, but he was okay with it.

Anyways, end of background. I want a boyfriend. Really bad. I get lonely. I need the connection of having someone who knows all of me and loves me for who I am. I have dreams of settling down with one guy and raising a family. I want to be a dad.

And to be honest, I want my SO to be a furry as well. But I hated the distance. I hated not being able to touch. I need that. I'll be the first to admit. I'm a hopeless romantic. I love the cheesy romance cliches.

It's just love is hard to find in the gay community and even harder among furries. Time and again, I've heard of relationships going south because they wanted an open relationship and it just fell apart. One wanted to sleep with someone else and paid no regard to their mate. It's so frustrating for me. I want that close connection. I want that sappy romance stuff. It's just I can't stand the online stuff. Looking at the person you love through a screen with no physical contact is something I really hated.

On top of that I have school to worry about and that takes up a lot of my time. There are times when I don't mind being single. I like having time to myself. I enjoy being able to retreat into my own world with no one interrupting me. I guess I don't want someone to take up all of my time like my second ex...

I just don't know what to do or how to handle my current emotions... Any help would be appreciated.

TL;DR Lonely college guy. History of bad online relationships and doesn't like long-distance, but wants a furry boyfriend, which would probably be online. I'm okay being single, but sometimes I wish I had someone to hold and kiss. And someone to tell me everything will be all right...

Can I ask a coupke of questions about role play?

Furry Reddit - Mon 12 Jan 2015 - 18:04

What exactly is role play in the furry community? All I can think when someone says "role play" is the fantasy dice rolling kinda one, so what do you all mean when you say it? I hope that makes sense.

Edit: and of course, in the title I meant 'couple'

Hey, Im new to this, a little nerves, and need help.

Furry Reddit - Mon 12 Jan 2015 - 15:09

So I've been interested in the subculture for many years now I have slowly but surely been developing my fursona for about three years. Today's the first day I drew her. I'm not very good at drawing be nice. And I got the courage to submit this post from a recent ask reddit. I've been looking into buying a partial fur suit for quite some time. I don't have a lot of money to get one custom-made and I haven't found one that is closely resembles my fursauna that I could work with. I also don't have a name for her and a backstory. I don't even know what species she is! Can anyone help me with this. I feel like a deer in headlights. Here she is. Be nice I'm fragile

This fandom is bloody confusing me!

Furry Reddit - Mon 12 Jan 2015 - 13:53

I'mma just rant for a minute so bear with me. Lately I've been seeing a lot of people talking about their experience of "coming out" as a furry. Am I the only person that thinks this is stupid as hell. So like many others, I got into the fandom in my mid teens (maybe 13-14) and of course found it great. Accepting people, creativity, and a huge mix of cultures, genders, identities etc. But at no point during this did I "come out" to my friends. Its an interest, a hobby and to some degree a bit of a lifestyle. But its not a fucking sexuality! The fandom helped me come out as gay though. Thats what coming out is. Telling people your sexuality because its literally what you are. But you dont have to come out about who you are. The difference is being gay is not an interest or a hobby. Its just my sexuality and I thought it worth mentioning since I wasnt arsed hiding it. But I dont need to come out as a furry. What does that mean. I didnt come out when I gaine my interest in makeup. I dint come out when I gained my interest in music. So why the fuck would anyone come out as furry. Its not coming out. Its sharing an interest! Its not some big dramatic life changing thing. I know my mom would be confuzed if I sat her down and said "I like to draw hybrid animal porn and want to dress up as a dog man". It would just confuse her and pretty much anyone else for that matter. Instead I've let them ask me about it. I don't show it off or wear a collar in public cause that asking for attention. My friends found out because when I was submitting a portfolio to try get into animation, I did a binder of anthro stuff and was drawing all the time. And they asked some questions and they actually thought it was pretty cool, even the porn part (which they found through my screen name and actively seeked it out on fA). But because I didnt one day sit them all down and make some big dramatic statement about it, they didnt care. Had I of done that they would have been freaked the fuck out. Honestly, I dont know if its just naive immature kids or actual handicaps saying all this stuff, but for the love of god if you dont want people to care then dont make a big fucking deal.

I don't know if anyone will care about this and I do understand that some people get bullied over it, but if so, just keep it out of their sight. I got bullied when I was 14 and I changed my facebook to sparkledog central, but now you couldnt even find a furry related thng on there because i dont need everyone knowing. I have all my furry friends on furry websites. Just use some sense and stop actively seeking drama ffs.

tl;dr if you think being a furry is worthy of "coming out!, your fucking stupid

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I fucking love this fandom and fully support everyone but not everyone is going to like it. I have literally be beaten up for sharing the wrong stuff with the wrong people so pleeease just be safe about it. You will find people or even "convert" them. My bf became a furry after a few months of dating and even some of my friends just researched it and have tried drawing and whatnot. And this was not from me "coming out". It was from me answering their questions and being open so long as they were respectful.

EDIT 2.0!: Thankyou for all your responses. I know that a lot of people will not agree with me and I encourage people to read their responses because they all raise great points. IMO when people say they are coming out as a furry, it compares it to an lgbt person coming out about their gender/sexuality and for the most part they are far more serious issues and often necessary to share in order to move forward. I have never met someone in a fandom who has had to share it, but I am now aware that some people are and to them I apologise if I am being insensitive.
