I chose to call myself Mercury for a reason
Hey, everyone...
From the user info page I thought I'd announce my presence here as a psych student, but I'm not interested in you people as guinea pigs...I have a seriously unorthodox fetish for the "crazies"... schizofrenia, multiples, furries, gender dysphoria... the people who don't belong, who feel out of place in their own skin, who are too much for themselves.
I wish I could live a thousand different lives sometimes, be the virgin and the whore and the child and the adult, the man and the woman. Being bisexual definitely raised some questions in my mind about whether or not I really wanted this female body of mine.
Don't be offended when I say part of me is jealous. But I guess you'd understand about "parts"... wouldn't you?
EDIT: I don't fetishize any of you, I have a tendency to use words offhand, I don't think about any of you or your friends naked in the shower to get my rocks off, I'm young, I'm dumb, I talk a lot, I would never in a million years dare to compare any of you to furries, or try to pretend any of you are anything like me, because that would be damn insulting, etc.
There.

I thought we were trying to dispell rumours here!
Furries don't necessarily have sex in their costumes, only Furverts do. Completely different thing, and we can all thank MTV for spreading that idea. "Plushies" are people who have sex or do sexual acts with stuffed animals and plush toys. Also different than furries.
As far as I know furries usually are singlets, but it is like gender dysphoria. Woman trapped in man's body. Wolf/hyena/cat trapped in human body.
As much as I hate to admit it everything isn't about sex.
Re: I thought we were trying to dispell rumours here!
yup, there's furries all over this place.

(what were we talking about again?)
Not to fan the flames here...
My understanding actually was that what you just defined above is what being otherkin is about. Furries are more of... well, it's a roleplaying thing, usually, although some people get really into it; you create an animal character and play as them, usually on a MUCK/MUSH/MUD or something similar. Some people I've known who call themselves furries just like artwork, stories, etc. of animal characters. Some furries I've known do feel they have a spiritual connection with the kind of animal they're playing, or that they are really that animal in a sense, but for most of them it's a hobby.
