Actually, Aperson, there's a poll going on here, and the straight/gay/bi ratio is pretty even. It was completely equal for a while!

Darkness can't reach you,           Full of gloom and spite...
Light the night, Joy is light           With this mask, I'll ask to
'Til the new dawn...                     Borrow your light...

I mean that, combined, they outnumber the votes for straight.

Um... while that's true... uh...

Actually, I guess I was wrong. Had some sorta weird train of thought about percentages, I dunno.
You're right.

But then why is there a link...?

I'm not exactly sure. I'm not an expert on fetishes. The most likely response that I can think of is just that furries are related with transsexuality. Further study into this would be necessary if I were to understand the reason behind such a link.

The fandom hasn't been around for an extremely long time, starting only in the early 1980s. I'm not sure whether it's that people had been members without knowing it previously, or if a sudden change of thought created it, but for something that so many people are passionate about, I think it makes an interesting subject of further study.

As a researcher, this size positive correlation is the stuff you dream of.  The question of how to proceed from here is a tough one.

Maybe also we're more willing to try new things. I mean, we like animals this much, how is anything else gonna be any weirder?

I like art that depicts sexuality in furryness :3
And other times it can be the cozy stuff when someone cuddles or hugs. Its like a two sided coin which i like.

As weird as Jake put it, I agree. Why alienate those who like it?

I personally am not into the sexual side of the fandom but I don't care that others are. I just don't like it when people don't respect my opinion on the matter. I follow the live and let live philosophy. I'll stay in the clean part of the fandom and will even talk to and be friends with yiff fans, I just never get into the adult art or roleplay myself.

From the outside I really had the idea the two sides go hand in hand. There was this small webcomic (maybe some of you know it) that told sexuality isn't what the furry fandom is about, but plays a clear role in it. That the point of view that's the most logical to me.

This isn't really related to sexuality, or the furry fandom at all, but in my time here I've noticed an interesting phenomenon, if a person is repeatedly exposed to a certain idea of concept that they generally have a negative opinion on for a long period of time, they eventually get normalized to it and get to like it. I'm pretty sure it has a name, but I've noticed it with a few things on this forum.
