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 pornographic movies of sexual activities between participants wearing fur suits.[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] The 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]
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.[41]
The term furvert (a portmanteau of "furry" and "pervert") specifically refers to the subgroup of the fandom that sexualizes anthropomorphic animal characters.[42] 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. Some fandom members express interest in various other fetishes, including oviposition, body inflation, and vorarephilia.[citation needed]
Fandom survey


Furry artists drawing at a convention
The 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).[43] 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 large proportion of people reporting homosexuality, bisexuality, polyamory, or other non-traditional forms of 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).
The University of California, Davis survey
In 2007, the University of California, Davis Department of Psychology conducted another survey. Over 600 people took part in the survey, although not everyone completed it.[44] This survey not only looked into the sexual aspect of the fandom but also examined pastimes and political views.
Survey results included:
37.3% of respondents were bisexual, 32.7% heterosexual, 25.5% homosexual, and 8% uncertain
about half of the respondents were in a relationship, and 76% of those in a relationship were having a relationship with another furry
most respondants (82%) do not own a fursuit
around half engaged in furry-related Internet friendships, chat rooms, and blogging
42% attended conventions
a third attended parties
around a sixth took part in art auctions
The sample group consisted of predominantly white (89%) and "American" (83%), males (81%), with "student" the most frequent occupation (38%). Nearly all respondants (90%) reported earning less than $50,000 per year.
Politically, 40% of respondents described themselves as "Liberal" or "Very liberal", contrasting with 7% who were "Conservative," or "Very conservative". 35% were "Not political" or "Other", and 16% were "Moderate".
