In an email to me, Jesse Bering, author of the immensely pleasurable book, "Perv: The Sexual Deviant in All of Us," writes:Ĭlearly it's a harmless form of sexual expression. Some furries fixate on the fur itself, others are attracted to stuffed animals, and still others embrace the kind of guiltless promiscuity they associate with animals. These activities popped up on millions on television screens when “Fur and Loathing,” a 2003 episode of “CSI: Las Vegas” - then the most popular show on network television – focused on the murder of a man in a raccoon fursuit who was attending a fictionalized furry convention.īoth Gurley and “Fur and Loathing” focused on the most titillating aspect of furry subculture: sex. What does it mean to be a furry? In 2001, George Gurley wrote a provocative piece for Vanity Fair on the pursuit of life and love as a furry, explaining that “it’s sex it’s religion it’s a whole new way of life.” He provided a lexicon of furry terminology, including “scritching” (grooming another’s fur), “yiffing” (mating), and “fur pile” (orgy). Because the universe has a sense of humor, the combative drunk wearing the zebra costume was named Marshall Mann (“martial man”). It wouldn’t have been a crime, either, except the zebra had walked into someone else’s home, and wouldn’t leave when asked nicely.
In Canada, this drunk zebra walked into an apartment, and it wasn’t the opening line to a joke.

In Wisconsin, a real French poodle is being walked every day by a woman dressed in full regalia as Bumble, the Abominable Snowman. Last Friday, my friend Scott Briggs, an architect who takes the New Jersey Transit daily to work in New York City, found himself sitting next to a man dressed in a shaggy fake-fur coat and a mascot dog head. Suddenly, furries are everywhere, and not just on the news. She ran off the set with a severe case of the church giggles. But the absurdity of seeing dozens of furries standing around in the Chicagoland cold, their fake-fur tails sticking out from ballroom gowns and coats, was just too much for Mika. Either way, Mika might have remained blissfully ignorant of this diverse sub-community were it not for the fact that someone deliberately spilled powdered chlorine to disrupt the annual Midwest FurFest at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare.

Recently on live TV, "Morning Joe" host Mika Brzezinski cracked up when she learned that some educated, employed adults enjoy dressing up in animal costumes called “fursuits.” For some, being a “furry” is a kink.
