Can someone ELI5 me the whole furry thing? Is this a community, is this a sexual thing? Is it an American thing?
Its mostly a sex thing.
As an asexual furry with many asexual furry friends, I can say, it's really not :p
It's a reasonably large subculture sure, and the way we interact with each other might look sexual to an outside observer, but it's more that we tend to want to show physical affection more in general. Hugs, cuddles, pets, etc. are easy to come by around us ♥️
