It’s my understanding it’s not inherently sexual, is it? I mean I know that’s what we see a lot of online but I didn’t think they were all horny about it. So for some portion is just kinda like LARPing?

I know there is sexual elements to some of it, but not all of it. I have no idea how to tell the difference.

As far as I have heard, if someone is making social posts about a fursuit, it is almost certainly just a normal costume.

The fandom is not based in any way on NSFW, all that content is just a consequence of rule 34 and the fact that the fandom is one of the largest fandoms online and exists mainly thanks to the internet and art. Also any irl sexual activity rarely involves a mursuit (sexual fursuit) because there's no desire and they're expensive (even a normal fursuit can reach $10000 pretty quickly).

Also it's generally agreed on that "coming out as a furry" is not really a thing, being a furry is just a hobby (or a job for some) not a sexuality, not a gender, just a hobby
