Drag knows that being a furry isn’t all about sex. It’s mostly about liking cartoon animals. But nonetheless, drag did have a preconception of the furry community being a generally sex-positive space due to all the queer floating around. Drag recently had a bizarre experience in which a community of furries was weirdly particular about a certain dirty joke, which had never been a problem in other online communities. Are furries really sex negative compared to most people?

    My general experience has been that furries are people, and people aren’t homogeneous - so even if they share some traits it’s not fair to make blanket assumptions.

    I’m reserving judgment until I hear what the joke is. Not really enough to go on otherwise.

      The joke is that drag’s username was, until recently, Dragon “Rider”. Because “ride” has multiple meanings. A number of furries said that drag’s username is too bawdy to say, even without quotes.

      Yeah I’m not prudish by any means, but could easily be put off if someone made an inappropriate joke at my expense. It would really be context dependent
