Seriously? While a lot of furs are attracted to anthropomorphic things (which they deem 'safe' due to having human minds, as it were) most are primarily attracted to.. uh. Humans. Weirdly enough. Some furs -even- have OTHER interests. Amazing, huh?

For the most part, the furry thing doesn't extend further than online roleplay, and a lot don't even do that. Some take it further and choose to be weird and have sex in their costumes, but really, that's not much different than any other sort of dressing up fetish. You're fucking an animal no more than fucking a nun, or whatever. It's all make believe, obviously.

Furries have outside-internet relationships with other people. Of course, the horse-fuckers are still there, but not all people who do that -ARE- furs. Fur, for the most part = person who has an anthro animal persona on the internet or someone who just likes the look of anthro animals. Not that EVERY anthro animal fan is a fur, like.

Yeah, so they go to conventions. So do anime fans and sci-fi nerds, there's no difference.

If you're talking people who think they actually have the 'soul' of an animal in them, real or imaginary (dragons, for instance) check out 'Therianism'. That's a WHOLE new batch of batshit.

And in response to 'anon' to all furs, the fursona is not a 'dream appearance'. It's just a character, like a screen name with a picture. For some, yeah. They want nothing more than to be a wolf or a horse or whatever, but. Yeah.

That all said, after having been a fur for 11 years, I still don't know the ins and outs. Characterising furs under one big blanketed description is like doing the same for the whole of the anime fandom, for size and diversity. No one can seem to agree on it.
