    Let me know how that goes.

    Is there an Intro to Furry Guide and a FAQ?

    Are there classes I can take to get Furry Certified?

    Do I need to engage in sexual activity which doesn’t align with my current non-furry orientation?

      It’s a one question quiz, actually:

      Do you want to be a furry? Yes or no?

      If yes, congrats! You’re now a furry.

      I’m actually an asexual furry. So no, you don’t have to engage in any sex at all. I like the aesthetic and I’ve met a bunch of my friends through the fandom as a shared point of commonality.

      Probably the biggest question you’ll get asked as a new furry is “what is your fursona?” If you say you don’t have one, everyone will make a pitch to try to sell you on theirs. (psst Maned wolves are cool.)

      For a more in depth explanation, take a look at furscience. They’re an actual research institution studying the fandom.

      Furries are typically nonsexual. It’s more often than not just roleplay for autistics.

        There’s 2 types of furries:

        I paid a ton of money for this fursuit, I don’t want to ruin it by having sex in it!

        I paid a ton of money for this fursuit, of course I’m going to use it for sex!
