“One likely reason for this difference between convention-going and online furry samples is the fact that those who own a fursuit will be drawn to conventions, where they have the opportunity to wear and display their suit in public,” the study noted. FurScience ran a survey at Anthrocon 2018 on furry paraphernalia ownership and found “45.8% of furries owned a partial or full fursuit.” This contrasts sharply with a 2011 online poll that found only 25% of furries partially owned a fursuit, and less than 15% had a full one (although nearly half planned to own a partial or full fursuit).įurScience cross-examined the two studies and suggested that sample pools and socioeconomic status may impact how many furries report owning a fursuit. There’s no census for the furry fandom, so it’s impossible to know for sure how many furries wear fursuits. Other common fursuit structures include the “partial” fursuit, such as a head with a tail or paws, and the Japanese kigurumi, an increasingly popular “alternative for heavier, hotter, more movement-restricting, and expensive fursuits,” Artists Beware notes.ĭespite popular belief, fursuits are not used exclusively for sex, although some fursuiters enjoy fursuit sex or have specific fursuits for having sex. Traditional fullsuits vary in terms of padding and artistic style, from cartoonish anthropormorphic characters to realistic fur and attributes. The most commonly recognized fursuit is the “fullsuit,” or a fursuit that covers its participant’s entire body from head to toe, artist community resource Artists Beware writes. Most fursuiters enjoy creating or commissioning fursuits of their own fursonas, although this isn’t always the case. One interesting aspect of the suit, brought up by IR, is the impact such a system could have on prostitution.According to WikiFur, Fursuits are “animal-based costumes associated with the furry fandom.” Furries who enjoy wearing fursuits commonly create or commission suits of their own fursonas with the intention of taking them to conventions, furry events, geek conventions, or doing photo shoots and modeling, if not all three. They’re not as tactile as the Illusion VR system, but clearly, we’re well on our way to a world where immersive VR sex is a thing. We’ve seen early iterations of this sort of technology before a company called Kiiroo has produced similar virtual reality sex aids for some time now, which synchronize with 180-degree porn videos. Warning: While there is no nudity, it’s safe to say that this video of the system is not safe for work (NSFW). It currently takes a lot of time and effort to get into the suit. And even if it’s not a gag, this might be the most cumbersome, time-consuming way to stimulate yourself. But this would be far from the first VR sex aid to make an appearance since virtual reality became more viable. We should warn that this product appeared online during the earliest moments of this month, so there is a chance that this is no more than an April Fools’ gag. But getting hold of one could prove difficult, as the paper claims that the suits are entirely sold out.
