I didn't think this needed saying...

...but apparently it does!

This is just a notification. I rather thought anybody who knows me and knows what I do for a living would know this, but I guess not.

So just so you all know. Fursuits are NOT sexual in nature! N, O, T, not. They're worn for a variety of reasons, but more than 90% of the time sex doesn't enter the picture in any way, shape or form.

They're used for charity, they're used to work with children. They're used for fun, and to show off at conventions, and to help you feel like you are your fursona, but they're NOT used to get you turned on, to be sex objects, or to have sex in.

I do not make a living making sex toys, people.

Everyone clear on that? Does anybody need any extra explanations here?

Edit: *sigh* Apparently extra explanations ARE in fact needed. Hello reality! Yes a few furries do regard fursuits as sex items and get turned on by them. Duh. The fandom is full of oversexed young men, it's inevitable. And yes, if you pay me enough I will make a suit you can have sex in.

But that's NOT why I make them! I am not turned on by fursuits. I regard them as art. I find making one into a sex toy to be something of a shame. I'll do it, because I'm mercenary like that, and getting $100 to put a hole in a suit is a pretty sweet deal, but that's not the point!

Do I need to get out the cluebat here?

Discussion a specific suit in casual conversation with a friend, who made a comment about how he just can't see how a suit that like one would turn anybody on... and I was all "huh?" And thus I discovered that somebody I have known for YEARS still thought that all fursuits were sexual in nature!
