Topic: Do furry porn artist get laid? How bout long term relationships?

Posted under Off Topic

I wonder if having a profession involving making porn affects your ability to attract women and find relationships or do women reject you for being a pervert? Does finding a women into furry help?

I am not the seducer type at all nor do I want to be one. I don’t think “Just be charming and confident” advice will work for me.

Well, furry porn artists are people too, so they can get laid... and, if your potential other has difficulty in being romantically involved with you due to your art habits, chances are they aren't the one for you; look for someone that can accept you and all of your choices, not someone who would be derogatory towards you due to your choices.

Getting your dick sucked does not constitute a relationship.
Well, it's a relationship of a kind, I guess. But not a long-term one.

depends how much free art they're getting

First, I would not ask most of the people on e621 for relationship advice. Whatever advice you get here, take it with a honkin' chunk of salt.

A person's identity is more than just "furry porn artist." Whether you can get into and sustain a long-term relationship has more to do with who you are overall, how you treat other people, how you treat your partner or partners, shared hobbies and interests, and overall balance in life.

Yes, there furry porn artists in long-term relationships that include sex. Whether and how the work impacts the relationships is as complicated and varied as the people involved.

(edited for grammar and clarity)

To answer the titular questions, yes and yes. Agouti-Rex, Chucky, Ursula Vernon, D.H.Stein, Heather Bruton, and Michele Light all are in stable marriages, some with children, and all are known as having done furry porn. I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg. No doubt there's artists with long-term partners they're not married to as well as those still dating or looking. There's also the artists who are confirmed bachelors and bachelorettes, who either can't or don't want to get into any such relationships. It's the exact same sort of variety people overall exhibit, regardless of whether they're into the furry scene or produce porn.

It's not much of one, that's for sure, since it's little more than two individuals cold-bloodedly taking advantage of each other for personal gain and who probably wouldn't hesitate to stab the other in the back if they didn't get what they wanted (and maybe even if they did get what they wanted).

I think what I should have asked instead whether sexual encounters are harder to obtain while partaking in Yiff culture? Will being apart of Yiff culture make you repulsive to people?

I am insecure about it because sex, porn, and Yiff culture is a significant part of my identity.

People who are into anamorphic culture are effectively non existent in my area. However almost everything is nonexistent in my area, since I live in a very rural state so sparse that metropolitans rival its population. So maybe I shouldn’t worry about it so much.

If this is your only notable interest you're probably going to be pretty boring to anyone who's not also that invested in it.

If they are looking for an relationship for entertainment they are not for me. I am insanely boring and I don’t care that I am. I am not a grocery product or a dvd movie. If you want me to provide “value” instead of just wanting to be with me and getting to know me, I wouldn’t feel loved anyway.

I might have more than one hobby but I am not just a bunch of hobbies.

Laid? All the time (assuming you're socially capable). Long term relationships? Almost never. Basing a relationship off a shared hobby almost never works. Once you inevitably grow out of it, why are you two together/what is it about one another you truly like?

Believe it or not, you can have hobbies that make you incompatible with other people. Also, Interests can indicate certain character traits.

Obviously you have to desire to emotionally invest into the person to actually have a relationship instead of a biological transaction, so you will actively want get to know a person. That means you actually have to spend time with someone, and handing out a twenty page personality trait test isn’t very romantic.

I feel like hobbies and talents are a good start because you at least want to be able to do things both partners actually enjoy. Not everyone is into going out on a dinner date or watching movies. It be nice to not have to pull strings to get an potential SO to watch a hentai or play a video game with me, for example.

I'm not sure I should be bumping this particular thread for this question, but this is what inspired it, so I guess I might as well put the question here:

How male is the furry artist circuit? I know that the statistics on the furry fandom in general say it's something like 80% male, but the impression I've got on FurAffinity of actual working and advanced-hobbyist artists is that that is a fairly gender-neutral field. I've never been at a con so I don't know what things look like there. This thread just reminded me of that by being so much about the straight male perspective - I'm used to the "straight" part not applying, I want to know if the "male" part also isn't that common.

Straight male, lesbian, or bisexual. The sex of the attracted wasn't specified so could be female or two-spirit attracted to female.

As for your question, I'd say there's still a predominantly male presence amongst artists, but that's becoming more and more an artifact of earlier times. I'd say there's a stronger female presence among artists than in the past, although not yet near 50/50.

The most interesting one I know of is a fairly prominent cub artist by the name of Aogami who is indeed married to a woman who from what little I know is fully accepting of his loli/shota interests. She's also a therapist too, funny enough.
