Hey, I've always want to make that question to someone.

Has any adult artist changed your life in any way?

I mean...like whygena made when he make a lot of people discover they sexualty with the Reggie video.

Not any artist in specific, but porn helped me first to figure out my gender issues, and then it helped me to become more comfortable with my body.

I'd been following Telem for over a decade on FA because I liked his content, but he's become one of my best friends in the last couple of years. He's a good person.

Uhh, a whole lot...

• Turned me into a gooner of sorts
• Introduced me to ALL the kinks
• Which has led me to trying to edu-ma-cate Redditors on why people may enjoy various kinks, whenever they engage in their favorite pastime of kink shaming (ABDL = pedophilia, keep the furries away from pets, etc.). Not sure if it really works, but I try.
• Brought me to this forum
• Motivated me to sorta learn Japanese, but never really get past a beginner level, since absolutely zero conversational competency is needed to read porn dialogue
• After 16 years (of viewing furry porn. I'm not 16), it recently motivated me to buy a drawing tablet so I can make art, but I haven't tried to use it yet. ^{Actually, I did buy one over a decade ago and never used it. Maybe I'll actually use this one, lol}

Also, my relationship with drawn porn vs. real porn is complicated. Real porn containing sex tends to make me uncomfortable in a way (nudes and kinks are fine though). I prefer furry porn, where there's a psychological degree of separation.

My first time hearing someone else who feels the same way. That's exactly why I like yiff, as well. Though I do watch regular hardcore porn too, probably about once every week or two.

It ironically made me learn more about the human anatomy and how it works more than school has ever taught me, college included.

Well, tagging on e621 has helped improve my memory that I have trouble with ever since the accident of 2017.

I suppose dwelling in it made me more open-minded in general. And it's interesting to see or try to analise the artistry behind the horny.

I ended up as staff here because of my tagging obsession, and met some lovely people through that. That's about it though

Funnily enough I used to be insanely skittish and skeeved out at particular types of porn, used to think it was disgusting and that it had no place being drawn/enjoyed. Gradually though I started to wind down and came to realize that its all just make believe the more that I saw and experienced. Bled into dabbling with some of it with friends in RP and found I actually enjoyed it more when I just stopped being such a hardass on what people should like. It helped me learn to open up and chill the fuck out, aint nothing wrong with shit that dont hurt people between consenting adults.

I noticed that I don’t like real porn and prefer more «fairy tale» feeling that gives furry draw version. Also noticed that I like manly feeling more.

Although I'm more into nudes, erotic art has quite made me creative in certain ways. Right now, I'm having an experimental time in dabbling in multiple art mediums and with mixing colors.

I can't really ever look at pokemon the same again, not that its a bad thing I like being constantly horny.

I developed a resistance to the thots of the world so I can think more reasonably when dealing with how much money to spend on tips.

I, personally, blame dagasi. Though other people I assume would have other artists they like, dagasi just does such game accurate pokemon that I can't see them any other way.

met my husband when he commissioned my for some nsfw art over furaffinity :3

pretty much never played a pokemon game, and while i don't have a thing for the porn, over the last 10+ years i've happened across a lot of good stuff with all the lucarios and whatnot. which is to say that in my eyes they went from "the creatures from that japanese game kids like" to more-or-less hardcore pornstars that don't ever wear clothes…

How it changed my life? I became furry, that's all :D

I know this one is a bit stale but I do wanna say that furry porn has allowed me to explore aspects of my sexuality and general preferences. It's also inspired me to not have shame in what I like, and inspired me to draw what I do today.

It gets me paid.

I think certain artists (especially argon vile, sometimes artdecade, probably some that don't start with "ar" but idk) helped me get over some anxiety about sex by depicting it in goofier and, like, low-stakes ways, if that makes sense. That's not really the right word but I'm not sure how to articulate it, it's not just everyone being horny at all times.

A suspicious amount of animal anatomy that i can never bring up in a normal conversation

It affected me in a negative way, I guess. I would always turn to this stuff due to my intense social anxiety. It has unfortunately kept me a virgin to this date in my mid 30s, and I don't like that outcome.

Yes, actually, in a very big way.

Years ago, my username was Erion. I got the chance to have my character (A Leafeon/Ninetales hybrid) drawn by Jeronmuh after winning a raffle. For the hell of it, I asked them if they could draw him as a female in a provocative pose. He was happy to oblige with my odd request.

Once I got the art back, and I looked at it, I realized I was trans.

It's not on the site, but it's the same pose as post #2386146 and I absolutely fell in love with the look, and started a path on figuring out who and what I want to be.

The most significant thing it's done is grow my interest in making games. But tbh I was sort of on that path already.

Aside from that, it's helped me figure out that I generally prefer drawn stuff over real (obviously) and my specific interests.

It may sound silly, but I've never been attracted to anything but drawn porn. I also love to draw it, and all the unique intricacies that come with furry specific porn opportunities! All these different penises I never even considered before now!

Also a lot of kinks/fetishes I would never do irl, but get to enjoy in drawn form! Many opportunities indeed.

wow uhh... yikes man

It made realized my sexual taste as well as giving me an opportunity to pursuit my real goals in life.

It gave me motivation to become an artist.
Also, it gives me energy to do things like studying, cleaning, and working out 'cuz I get so happy after looking at it.
It makes me feel upbeat and positive about life since I think sex/sexual stuff in and of itself is an awesome thing. And if it's kinky, all the better.
I became more outgoing and sociable after I started looking at porn. Although I guess it helped I was never socially awkward to begin with. Just wasn't sociable.
Porn has been nothing but a positive experience for me. I actually interact with people now. Not so much online though. I much prefer socializing in person.

I concur.

I enjoy the community, and the whole aspect of escaping into other worlds than our own.
Our lives are often gloomy and desperate... sometimes this site and similar sites brings a smile on my face when very few things can.

Similar to a show like Monster Musume, the sexual material is the center piece of interest, but the way the story plays into the sexual topic is the thing that really keeps us engaged. If we take someone like Darius from LoL - although he is a human, if you drew him in a sexual situation; I would be more interested in him than some known person from our world. It's because it's a fantasy setting, and makes me think deeper than just the explicit acts. Suppose this is what truly makes me enjoy this website as much as I do.

Something I've also noticed is the social aspect. I have never been social or interested in human society, yet I'm drawn to these imaginary societies and people. I have not felt love or enjoyed touching anyone, but there is a distant whisper in my mind that tells me that a large part of this fact is my own bitterness towards our world.

And objectively, e621 increases the amount of creativity you as an artist can use - letting sexual topics be imagined and visualized can create unique art. Most notably having characters from media discuss sexual topics with each other is interesting, because you never see that side of them. It also opens up new forms of comedy.

So how has it changed my life? Well e621 is both short and long lasting dopamine. It acts as a porn site, but then does something more.

I guess for me, it's making me question my sexuality. I keep asking myself if I'm straight like I think I am or am I actually bi

A number of things that've already been mentioned by others here.

-went from straight to bi
-i feel a whole lot closer to pokemon than i was before
-certain knowledge about animal biology

Yes, we've done quite a lot of 'research' lol

It has been good for me, helps me disassociate from what I'm looking at. Regular porn is... eughh. Feels shameful for me to watch.

lol what can i say, i didn't ask for pokemon to lead me to the canine_pussy tag.

Ok lol, so we've fallen down a rabbit hole

• This image made me question my sexuality and become attracted towards femboys.
• I was curious how it would feel like to fuck a furry character, now I have seven furry-themed penetrable sex toys and prolly ruined any future sex life.
• I'm no longer ashamed of myself for having a foot-fetish after finding out that many people share my fetish, but I'm not going to shout about it from the rooftops either.
• Turned into a gooner (of sorts), checking e6 and other websites on a daily basis for a few minutes.
• I bought a tablet in 2017 and became a porn artist myself because I thought we were lacking in some pictures.
• Became good friends with a few people because I drew shitty doodles of their characters and sonas, putting those in silly scenarios. Still doing that from time to time.
• Can't look at Pokémon with the same innocence as before anymore.

Back in highschool me and this girl that I was friendzoning the fuck out of the previous year before she realized and moved on (we were still friends) were talking about how her and I started talking to each other because we both liked drawing furry/pony porn at the time and how another friend and I started talking because we both watched/read hentai and being friends with him got me a place in the magic the gathering group at launch (despite not playing myself) where I met other friends. We were basically just marveling at the irony that porn was a big catalyst for my social life, despite all the stereotypes that porn makes you an antisocial creep.

As it would turn out, she would shoot another shot with me in college and that time I cooperated. We had a very short 2 month fling in which I lost my virginity and was set down the path of realizing that I'm aromantic.

Besides that, discourse and double standards around sexuality and kink in art have been a huge motivator in the development of my own philosophical and ideological outlook. I think I'd be a much less self aware, open minded, and skeptical person if my own kinks, which I discovered through porn, had not forced me to choose between loving myself or hating myself for not conforming to society. It's greatly enhanced my understanding of other's as well as myself.

I'd love to meet women who are into this stuff like me so I wouldn't feel like a freak lol

I'd say that I was exposed to drawn porn way earlier than I was supposed to due to a Youtuber mentioning art drama and going to check out the artist.

As a result, I think it has permanently changed me in a way that has me struggling to fit in IRL. I won't deny that I have an addiction to it and that addiction makes me feel like I am not "normal" enough to fit in in physical spaces. I used to have legitimate online friendships that sprout for a shared love of drawn porn, but they're gone now and I'm just stagnating socially.

Though, do I wish I wasn't exposed as early as I was? No, not really. Those friendships I did have were honestly some of the best peeps I've known.

Furry porn has made me more understanding and accepting as a person. By understanding why certain kinks exist I understand that I wouldn't ever want to kink shame someone for what they like to look at. We're furry porn enthusiasts not moral warriors is what a lot of people forget imo.
