Sex and furry fandom
Differing approaches to sexuality have been a source of controversy and conflict in furry fandom. Examples of mainstream sexual aspects within furry fandom include erotic art, a style known as yiffy art (from the subculture term "yiff" referring to sexual activity or arousal), and furry-themed cybersex.[35][36] According to The Pitch, examples of present usage of the word yiff include "a yiffy fur", meaning a furry who is sexually aroused or active, "yiffy artwork", meaning sexually explicit furry artwork, and "to yiff", meaning to have sex.[37] Yiffy art often depicts humanoid animals in poses and outfits similar to those in standard erotic art.

The term yiff is most commonly used to indicate sexual activity or material.[38] This applies to sexual activity and interaction within the subculture whether online or offline; it is also applied to sexual arousal and to erotic material causing it.[39] A common explanation offered for the etymology of the term within the subculture is that it is an onomatopoeia for the sound foxes make when mating.[40] Efforts to identify the origin of the term suggest that it was a term in "Foxish" (a language invented circa 1990 by a FurryMUCK participant) that originally was meant as an expression of happiness but over time and through popular usage came to acquire the sexual connotation now commonly associated with the term.[41]

In cybersex, also known as "TinySex" and "TextSex", yiffing is the act in which one or more players engage in the interactive writing of erotica, describing their "tinybodies" or fursonas engaged in sexual activities.[42]

The term furvert (a portmanteau of "furry" and "pervert") specifically refers to the subgroup of the fandom that sexualizes anthropomorphic animal characters.[43] Similar to the word queer in homosexual culture, the term furvert may be used pejoratively, as a self-referential joke, or merely as a descriptor.


'The Sociology of Furry Fandom' survey results

Furry artists drawing at a conventionThe Sociology of Furry Fandom, a survey conducted by David J. Rust which examined social and sexual attitudes in furry fandom, encompassed interviews of 360 respondents (325 in person, 35 online).[44] Rust's results indicated that in regards to sex:

furries "report a rather non-judgmental attitude" to some aspects of sexuality
the fandom contains a relatively large proportion of people reporting homosexuality, bisexuality, polyamory, or other forms of alternative sexual relationship
48% reported bisexuality, 25% reported heterosexuality, 19% were homosexual, and 8% were uncertain. From this sample, 2% stated an interest in zoophilia, and fewer than 1% stated an interest in plushophilia
furries have "a higher tolerance for variety in sexual orientation and activity"
heterosexual furries "participate in mixed-gender social body language between members of the same sex without any apparent threat to their sexual identity"
Rust cited these findings as reasons why inaccurate perceptions of furries arise. However, the accuracy of such statistics is questionable for two reasons: Rust's survey required respondents to submit their legal names, and 90% of the respondents answered in person, so the reluctance to answer some questions truthfully may have resulted in a statistical bias; furthermore, the constantly increasing size of furry fandom may render these statistics obsolete (the research was based on data compiled in 1997 and 1998, and published in 2002).
