The furry fandom is an enormous, decentralized community based around one thing: a love for anthropomorphic creatures. While the term “furry” is commonly associated with bears, lions, deer, wolves, cats, and other mammals, it’s better understood as a catchall for all humanlike animal characters. That includes “scalies,” or anthro reptile fans, as well as artists who adore anthropomorphic depictions of monstrous creatures like dragons and giant nagas.
As social psychologist Kathy Gerbasi told the Daily Dot in 2011, the furry community values open-minded and accepting people—hence its laid-back creative vibe. There’s a huge overlap between furrydom and queerness, too. One 2012 study surveying furry con-goers revealed they are “much likelier than the public at large to report a non-straight sexual orientation,” with less than 30 percent identifying as exclusively heterosexual, Vox reports.
Despite anti-furry conjecture during the 1990s and 2000s, furrydom isn’t an inherently sexual experience. Many furries enjoy anthropomorphic creatures for purely platonic reasons and nothing more; others cherish the NSFW side of the fandom, but only as one piece of a much larger fandom experience. That said, there are plenty of fans that draw, develop, animate, and adore furry porn more than anything. Smutty or otherwise, there’s no “right” way to enjoy being a furry. Whatever reason you love the furry community is more than enough.
We’ve gone ahead and picked the best sites around for all sorts of porn for the furry community, from video games to 18+ NSFW communities. For all of your yiffing needs, read on.
The best free furry porn
Best furry porn art site: Fur Affinity
Founded in 2005, Fur Affinity is a staple in the furry community. It’s also a fantastic resource for 18+ material. Like DeviantArt, FA lets users run their own online portfolio and meet their fellow creators. Generally speaking, most adult artwork is allowed on the site as long as it has artistic merit and does not feature people or characters under 18. While artists must label their work if it features adult themes, the site otherwise takes a hands-off approach, letting users browse for everything from fursuits to bondage scenes to macrophilia and voreaphilia.
Interested furries can browse through Fur Affinity’s adult content by registering an account. To turn off FA’s adult content filter, head over to your account settings, scroll down to the”enable adult artwork” section, and select “General, Mature, Adult.”
Best adult furry game: Space Paws
Taifun Riders is the two-person studio behind the furry/human adult visual novel called Space Paws. Part dating sim and part visual novel, Space Paws stars an astronaut who visits far-off planets and meets intelligent, anthropomorphic, and, most importantly, attractive extraterrestrial life. The game features multiple love interests, over two dozen 18+ scenes, branching narratives to unravel, and plenty of planets with cute furry girls to date (and more).
Space Paws is free to play, and players can enjoy the game directly through their browser or by downloading the game’s Flash file. Dedicated fans can support Taifun Riders on Patreon and receive early access builds by pledging $2 or more.
Best furry porn on Reddit: r/FurryPorn
Reddit is a haven for all kinds of furry adult content, from writing to art. But the best 18+ subreddit for furries by far is r/FurryPorn. With over 9,000 subscribers, new content posted daily, and a solid moderation team reviewing material, it’s a top recommendation for ethical furry smut. All submissions are tagged for their sexual content, which means viewers can easily find their preferred content just by searching through the subreddit. Common tags range from “[F]” for solo cis women to “[FF]” and “[MM]” for porn between cis lesbians and cis gay furries, respectively.
But r/FurryPorn doesn’t just offer free adult furry illustrations. All submissions require the artist’s name in parenthesis, and the subreddit lets creators and commissioners file a takedown request to remove any of their content that they don’t want posted on the site. This makes r/FurryPorn a much more ethical porn site than other 18+ furry communities, which may host paid content without the artist’s permission or otherwise disregard copyright infringement concerns.
Best site for queer furry porn: Yiff.Life
After the Tumblr NSFW ban went into effect, the Daily Dot profiled some of the best adult Mastodon instances available on the fediverse. But there’s one option we left off the list that queer furries should know about: Yiff.Life.
Built for the 18+ LGBTQ furry community and run by a trans admin team, Yiff.Life hosts over 1,500 users, making it one of the biggest NSFW communities for furries on Mastodon (as well as one of the top 150 instances based on population). The site hosts strong guidelines that ban hate language and illegal 18+ content, assuring all discussions remain as inclusive as possible. While adult content is more than allowed, it’s also tagged and hidden under content warnings, letting users actively choose what porn they look at (and when). For queer furries that want to hang out, look at porn, and meet other LGBTQ folks in the community, Yiff.Life is a must.
Honorable Mention: F-List
If you’re an adult artist, writer, or roleplayer interested in meeting other furries, you’ll want to create an account on F-List. The site lets players create their own character profiles and fill in their favorite kinks and hard limits. While F-List users commonly create their own profiles to send to play partners, it works just as well as a general resource for documenting furry original characters’ personalities. Give it a spin; accounts are free.
