In my last post, I said this:

"I don't remember having a favorite Sesame Street character. I like Snuffleupagus. Does that make me a furry? I have no idea."

Since then, (thanks to the devilish anathema666) I've learned what a Furry is. Here's a definition from Dan Savage of The Stranger.com: "Sometimes called "plushophiles," furries are men and women who are turned on by the idea of having sex with stuffed animals or having sex while wearing "fursuits" that make them look like stuffed animals.

So, while I have nothing against anyone who is a Furry, I definitely am not one. My love for Winnie the Pooh, Fozzie, and their kin does not extend that far.

And lo, I feel so innocent and naive.

have you ever seen mtv's true life: i'm a furry? they have conventions and stuff. its crazy. but there is a difference between the people who have sex with other people dressed as animals and the ones who have sex with stuffed animals-those are plushies--and they totally creep me out. those poor stuffed animals

I haven't seen the MTV thing...but while I was doing my research last night on Google, I found a fursuit auction site, a site with pictures of a woman sucking a dildo that had been attached to a big teddy bear (among other things), and tons of other stuff that I didn't take too close a look at.

Hey, whatever turns them on - it's a free world. The furry/plushie thing's just not for me.

Furrys and plushphiles ain't exactly the same thing.

Furrys have animal personas, may have costumes and tails and other props. Some are also plushphiles or "plushies" -- but not all.

A guy who works for my dad went out last Halloween as a furry. Seriously. He had his mom make him his outfit!

Heck, he could have gone to the site I found last night when I was googling: furbid. It's a fursuit, furry art, furry accessories, etc., auction site.
