What are your views on sexuality? As an artist who makes yiff, surely many would consider your work taboo.

On the subject of sexuality, I would say that I am a borderline activist. I cannot speak for elsewhere in the world but I know that in the United States, views on sex and sexuality are horribly skewed. It’s unfortunate because there are so many people trying to make things better but their archaic approaches are doing far more damage than they would ever do good.

The fact that I draw porn at all is definitely taboo. The fact that I draw FURRY porn is enough for most people to be immediately disgusted and break social ties with me. It is because I am so keenly aware of this that I do not allow my real name to get out and try very hard to keep pictures of me confidential. It is incredibly sad that it is the case because sex and sexuality is such a common thing in so many people’s lives. And yet there are those that fight against any expression of sexuality as a means of protecting their youth from sex- the irony of this being that the more that you try and repress these very natural desires, the more likely they are to be deviant. Abstinence only education is proven to be less effective at preventing pregnancy than NO education- and proper sexual education is well documented to reduce pregnancy and STDs in astronomical amounts.

The truth is, talking about sex and being comfortable and accepting that we are sexual creatures is an important part of safe and responsible sexual development. We shouldn’t be afraid of our kinks and we shouldn’t be judgemental of other people’s kinks. Sexuality is a big, silly creature and we can’t choose which kinks arouse any more than we can choose which sex’s genitals arouse us. At the end of the day, being homosexual isn’t that much different than liking to dress up in leather and a saddle and being trotted around like a horse. We didn’t choose to be aroused by them, it’s just what excites us and that’s fine- because it is human.

This is a street that needs to go both ways too. We shouldn’t be condescending or judgmental of any other people’s sexual preferences but they need to be responsible, considerate and consenting in their behavior (and really, that could be said about ANY behavior). Responsibility, consideration and proper consent should be the golden standard; and people should be able to draw and view whatever they want as long as nobody was hurt or forced in the process. I’m completely fine with people drawing or viewing drawn loli art- but the second a real child gets involved, you crossed the line and that shit is wrong. Don’t go flaunting your kinks in public because that’s just not very considerate to others. You can even do role-play rape  and forced sex as long as there is proper consent ( and a safe-word is generally good practice too ). Be responsible in your sexuality and hopefully in time, with proper education and understanding, people will become to accept their own and yours.

I hope that’s thorough enough. ^_^
