Fur Fetish – What It Is and Why You’ll Love It

Fur Fetish

Have you ever fantasized about making love while lying down on a fur rug in front of a fireplace? Or do you get aroused by the feel of fur upon your nipples or genitals? I kind of do. And if you think about it fur feels elegant and expensive and many people love it, so why not? 

 You’ve probably heard about leather or latex being popular in the world of fetishism, right? But one that’s a bit less popular but still valid is fur fetishism.  

Fur fetishism is very similar to other material-based fetishes. In this article, we’ll break down what fur fetishism is, why people are into it, and how it crosses with the furry fetish and its community.

What is Fur Fetishism?

At its core, fur fetishism is a form of material fetishism where individuals are sexually aroused by the feel, texture, and appearance of fur.  Here at Know your sins we did debate a little about the category where this kink should belong, is a sensory play?  Is it a Object and Clothing Fetish?  (It really depends, but let us know what you think) Fur Kink and fetish can be integrate simply using fur as part of roleplay scenarios incorporating fur accessories or garments into sexual activities. It can range from a light preference to a more intense kink where the presence of fur it’s a must and it plays a central role in achieving sexual satisfaction.

Fur Fetishism VS Furry Fetish

Fur fetishism is different from the furry fetish and its community, though there can be some overlap. Furries focus on creating and roleplaying as animal-like characters, known as “fursonas.” Fur fetishists, however, are more into the feel and look of fur itself, not necessarily embodying animalistic characters, although they may be into touching such fur of those characters wink wink.

Why Does It Arouse?

Let’s talk about why this material has such an influence on people’s imaginations. Clothing often plays a big role in fetishes, but here, we’re getting into why some people are specifically drawn to fur.

Historically, fur has always been seen as something luxurious, reserved for the wealthy and powerful. Think of it as a status. Only rich people could afford it, like Starks from Game of Thrones, Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians, Dr. Zhivago etc. Fur has always been a symbol of wealth and luxury. Over time, this idea of fur as a luxury item transformed into something more personal and sensual.

For fur lovers, it’s not just the appearance of fur but how it feels against the skin, almost like a “second skin.” It’s soft, warm, and can awaken primal instincts, linking us back to nature. This connection is part of what makes it so arousing for many—it’s not just about the look, but the feeling and the fantasy that comes with it.

Fur can make someone feel powerful or submissive, depending on the role they want to play. Whether it’s a seductive fur coat or something more intimate, the tactile sensation becomes part of the fantasy, turning fur into a trigger.

How People Explore It?

Depending on how much your significant other is ready to experiment with your sexual desires, there are various things to try out. Start by getting your partner a fur coat, tickling them with a furry tail during sex, and try out couple’s furry role play. It is fun, and exploring it is safe. So make sure you explain it to your partner, and you will get to see the best of the fur fetish world in your relationship. 

Much like other kinks and fetishes, fur fetishism can be expressed in many ways. Here are some common ways that came out in conversation I had with fur kinkers on forums and in person:

  1. Fur Clothing, Accessories and Props: Get some soft materials and try them out in sex with your partner. Focus on the sensations it gives you, the smell, the touch of furs, or the harsh pressure. It can be a fur coat, lingerie with fur trimmings, or even fur-lined gloves or shoes. If you are particularly drawn to this sexual fetish, then I suggest underwear made from fur, I personally love this brand but feel free to experiment.

  2. Animal Roleplay and Fur Suits:  While not all fur fetishists are furries, some enjoy dressing up in animal costumes or engaging in animal roleplay or pet play kink. They might wear costumes with fur accents or use props like tails, collars, and furry ears. Many fur fetishists like nothing more than wearing a luxurious fur coat. Nothing odd about this perhaps you are thinking?! However, the twist is that they like to wear it on naked body, playing with the classic I see but I don’t see fully erotic mind game.

  3. Other Fur Related Roleplay: Some fur fetishists like to role play as if they were eskimos people and a full fur suit enables this. They can start with rubbing noses before they get down to some serious play in conjunction with a sex toy or any other toy according to their personal preferences.

  4. BDSM and Fur: In the BDSM, fur can play a role in softening the harshness of traditional bondage equipment. Furry handcuffs, blindfolds, and restraints are common accessories. Fur-lined restraints or floggers provide a balance between pain and pleasure, adding to the sensory experience. Nowadays also anal plugs with furry tails have also reach mainstream adoption (well, maybe it’s a strong assumption but I do use them so..)

  5. Masturbation and Fur: Other fur fetishists, enjoy stroking a piece of fur. The act of running their hands through fur, feeling its softness, and letting their mind wander into a fantasy involving fur can intensify their experience.

  6. Fur Massage: Try out massage gloves. Fur massage gloves are exquisitely soft and offer an unmatched sensual experience, perfect for sensual foreplay. After a stressful day, you can get one and use it with your partner for some tender loving and care. Playfully tease their senses with surprising pleasure. Fur massage leaves you both in pure bliss with glowing skin and your body rejuvenated with energy.

  7. Education: Also, you can search for videos. There are many fur fetish sex videos online. It’s only up to you to watch with your partner. You can check out erotic literature on this sexual preference.

Fur Fetishism and the Furry Fandom

In the furry fandom, there is some overlap with fur fetishism, but the two communities maintain their own distinct interests. While Furry fandom focuses on anthropomorphic animals, like Bugs Bunny or Disney’s Robin Hood, and many furries create fursonas—unique animal characters that they use in both non-sexual and sexual roleplay. Fur fetishism on the other hand revolves more around the texture and feel of fur.

Some fetishists are drawn to the furry community because of its costumes and animalistic themes. You may also would want to know that, furries who are sexually motivated may engage in “fursuit sex,” where participants dress up in furry costumes during sexual play.

It’s important to note that not all furries are fur fetishists, and not all fur fetishists are furries. However, the crossover exists, and for some, the furry community offers an outlet to explore both their fur fetish and their identity within the fandom.

For those wanting to explore the furry community, we have a dedicated article on furry fetish, and there are also several online hubs where you can connect with furries or learn more about the fandom. You can visit platforms like Furry Network to explore furry creativity, or check out Fur Affinity to see a wide range of furry artwork.

Why Faux Fur is the Way Forward

Let’s talk about faux fur—it’s an awesome choice if you’re into fur play but want to keep things cruelty-free. Faux fur looks and feels just as luxurious, without any harm to animals.
