I was thinking about this the other day and i can't actually be sure it was so long ago.
I think it was maybe through Pokemon back in 98 i was spending allot time on alt.fan.Pokemon and that kind of segwayed into the furry fandom.
Also when i was at collage i spent half of my time there looking at furry art on the collage computers i think that's probably the point when i started to be adsorbed in the anthro community.

My interest in the fandom all started when I was abducted by aliens at the age of sixteen. They explained to me through images that there was an endangered species with genetic material similar to my own, and that they would like for me to copulate with it.
I would provide my genetic material, and upon fertilization they would make what alterations needed in order for it to work.

Me being young and horny, I readily agreed, and with that settled they transferred me to the holding pen.

I nearly shat myself when I saw what I was about to stick my dick in; a huge panther taur larger than a truck. Its fur was all knotted and bedraggled, and my god it stank like a skunk. If it wasn’t for the fact that it was sedated it would have probably have torn me apart in seconds. My mind, being the ever rational one, told me to get the fuck out of there before it woke up, while my crotch was moaning thing perverse in nature.

I was sixteen and desperate, I don’t think I need to explain which ones advice I followed. Anyways to cut a long story short that panther took my virginity and my heart, and I have hungered for more of the same ever since.

True story

A+

I found this and looked up Felicia and found tailsrulz take it from there

My sides!
Oh jeez, anyway, surrounded by anthro characters in my favourite media for most of my youth I had no qualms with the porn. Always on the look-out for a new fetish to fap to but I appreciate some of the artistic talent that goes into furry porn and it's a good base to come back to.

Well I read a book in which my friend said was awesome. It had a girl being fucked by a Minotaur XD I got turned on a started thinking how it wud be kinda hot to hav a person with cat ears or dog ears and tails. Later talking with my now ex bf he told me that he was a furry and showed me this awesome sight and ive been a furry ever sense, plus now I found my true style in drawing bc of th fandom :3

It was about seventeen years ago, I was in an arcade and I came across a Darkstalkers machine. There was something about Felicia and she became my favorite character but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. Years later I thought of it and searched for Felicia, who was of course very popular with the furries, and one thing led to another.

It's pretty funny that I'm not even the first one in this thread with the story. I wonder how many of us that game caused?

This. Part of it, anyway. Might as well post a serious response in here.
Was always attracted to anthro characters in movies as a kid. Never Looney Tunes, always more detailed and less toony things like Secret of NIMH, Robin Hood. The tooniest I got was Slylock Fox, a comic strip character. (Still have my Slylock Fox fan club poster on the wall) There was never a sexual or romantic connection; my playground fantasies always involved either being a character or, more often, being friends with a character.

Once Lion King hit, it re-sparked the interest that had died down for a while, and I moved on to other characters. Even at that time (high school) I didn't have any sexual or romantic attraction, but I felt an almost magnetic pull to those sorts of characters. I've never believed I have an animal soul, was an anthro in a past life, anything like that - it's simply that anthro and talking animal characters draw my attention.

Some guy gave a floppy disk a friend of his had given to him. This contained several generic anime bondage pics (think high school girls tied up with jump ropes), Belle getting fucked by Beast, and a few of Doug Winger's pre-hyper porn pics. I searched that name and found a huge archive, the name of which I can never remember (it was closed by 2000 or so) full of furry art, some porn and some not. First artists I found were Winger and Todd Surtherland; Todd drew a lot of cute stuff, and Winger was getting increasingly weird by then. For years I was into the fandom online, and knew several furries elsewhere in the US.

'Round about 2006, I was wandering around a fantasy/sci-fi con I'd been attending for a few years, mainly to gawk at the nifty costumes, and I rounded a corner and ran smack into a cluster of people with a fursuiter, and stumbled into the local scene.

Well-played, sir.

Short story.
Arcade game: Altered Beast turned me into anthro art fan and player.

EVA.

I am dead serious.

I never saw furry as something different. But the idea that you can change your mind on something if you really want to intrigued me. So I asked myself the following question: can I look at furry artwork/stories as a separate genre? I rewired my brain a little bit, and all of a sudden I could.

Isn't that weird?

>i rewired my brain
hello mr pretentious as all hell how are you today

>>5459
Good, how are you?

My main fap website was y!gallery before their initial furry purge. I never considered it special, I fapped to all pictures containing males that aroused me.

Then I read the book "bitten"/"die Nacht der Wölfin" written by Kelly Armstrong. It's about the adventures of a female werewolf and contains some wild sex scenes between her and her werewolf lover. I loved the book although it is centered on a female. Because of it my fetish for werewolves awakened. I absolutely adore werewolves.

Anyways, I don't consider myself furry, I just have the furry fetish among others.

I am fully aware that I am 100% human like everyone else on here. The fandom doesn't interest me and is full of crazy people.

So basically you played it and when you were done you'd POWERED UP!! (into being a furry)

All fandom's a full of nut's it just more apparent in the furry community.

I don't remember having any strange thoughts for any furry characters when I was young, other than feeling awkward whenever Lola Bunny was on screen in Space Jam.

I had heard of hentai before but I didn't really know what it was, except that it was something perverted at least. One of the places I hung out on my first few years of being on the net was GameFaqs, and I spent a lot of time on the Sonic Adventure 2: Battle board when that came out. Eventually someone posted a link to Tojyo's Toybox, so the first drawn porn I saw was Sonic stuff. Didn't think it was weird (well, weirder than any other porn that exists), and it would be a few months from then till I would learn what furies were, and a year or two later till I learned about the community. By that point I already liked stuff, so I kept with it despite how weird/dumb the community seemed. that was around 2003, though I didn't identify as being a furry till 2008. Before then I just went with the logic that "if it's hot I like it," which is still true, but I admit I like furry stuff a lot now (though only to myself).

This.

I think the most "basic" thing -probably- started with Lola in space jam. I don't really know.
As far as I can remember the first images I came across of a "furry nature" was one of bugs bunny... Never seen the same image since, and can't recall it very well. But I remember being intrigued, if a bit disturbed by it. I searched about a bit for "sexy bunnies", and eventually came across sexyfur. Sasha.
Nuff said.
