*ish too damned lazy to read three pages* Some people link it to pony play or puppy play, or even a newly growing form for kitten play, where a human is dehumanized into playing as those particular animals. It's not 100% of the time correllated, but for many, it is linked. Since it's not something that is even remotely considered nilla, most would place it under the Umbrella that is BDSM. As would people doing puppy/pony/kitten play. It's a power dynamic, being trained, Owned, etc etc. Some people that are furries, plushophiles, etc etc....for fucks sake there's too many goshdarned terms out there for even -me- to keep up with and I'm a furry...don't liken it to the average BDSM puppy/pony/kitten play. For some that engage in those things, it's more about being made to do it by their respective dominant, whereas some of the difference comes for some with actually -relating- to their furrsonas. It's yet another mask, a character, something we feel comfortable roleplaying as, and for some it's rather 24/7, albeit toned down at the appropriate times just like any of us would say...at work..around family. Some of us identify with certain kinds of animals because of the idiosyncrocies, temperaments, personalities...etc etc. And we've also been accepted by some Native Americans that have spirit animals.. Its hardly the same thing, and I personally would never completely equate it or even try to, out of respect of Their Ways. I've a few NA friends that accept me as I am and my furrydom. Just as I accept them and their spirit animals.

Honey, you obviously missed the "want to be used as a toilet fetish" thread or "where do I get instructions on setting my sub on fire" thread. LOL Thank you, DelRay for that one.
