I have to believe that lots of folks THINK whatever turns their gears, is unique to them (If it isn't just the usual vanilla Man + Woman and only the 'Missionary Position' is allowed/used mentality), and then as they become more aware of the whole wide world (Real or Fantasy), they not only discover 'They' are hardly alone in said quirk, but "HOLY HELL, PEOPLE DO THAT?!?!?!" too?You make me wonder, Aniwayas Song, how many things from RPs (Furry, or not) have actually gone over into IRL (I guess it goes both ways: probably a lot of IRL things have flown into our personas).
Obviously sniffing butts isn't something I do IRL ^^; but I feel like I do try to be a positive sociable fellow, like perhaps a dog would. I did grow up with dogs though, that may have had a bigger inpact.

It's fun to 'Imagine,' and often folks will try using said imagination IRL. Nothing wrong with that, but you have to be honest and careful about things.
:-D
