I've come to realize why people like Yiff

While yes, there is the fantasy allure, it can also be boiled down to this:

Sex can be disappointing. We can easily get frustrated because all of our desires are hard to meet, and we're taught that deviancy is wrong and we should feel shameful.

As long as one separates the horny part of their brain from the non-horny part, there's no harm done. I've found it allowed me to be more productive, truth be told. Toxic masculinity exists for a reason, and that's the inherent refusal to allow oneself any pleasure outside of what's considered "manly".

So why Yiff?

Its simple, we don't have to worry about it not panning out. If anthropomorphic animals ever did exist, it would be a long, long time before they did. We can engage in all of our kinks, desires, and fantasies, heightened by the medium it's often seen in: digital art. We can relieve our frustrations, and we do not have to worry about being disappointed because it's not what it was panned out to be, because we wouldn't get into those situations in the first place. We're free. That's why this community is so welcoming, because we all bask in the mutual understanding of how good it feels to be free, to be oneself, true and through.

Sex is so ingrained in our society, we are taught that a desire for porn over it is perverted and wrong. We're taught what we should want, and how, and to take it by coercion if refused in some cultures. The way I see it, we're not hurting anyone, and we're helping ourselves. Though it may not exist in real life, it serves the same function as that which does. In this, I am content.

Stay fluffy y'all
