I wish I was making up what I’m about to write about in this blog, but I could never have made this up (even being the ultra-creative person I am). The other day, I decided to take a day off, and relax. So about mid-day I was on the couch and decided to flip on the television.

As I flipped through the array of afternoon talk shows, there was a compelling choice of topics. Dr. Phil had on a 22 year old woman about to have her fourth kid. Ellen was giving away a Chevy Blazer (or some type of car).

Then I stumbled upon Tyra Banks’ show. She was talking to people who dress up as stuffed animals and have sex.

Did you catch what I just said? So, of course, we stayed on that channel and watched that show because I thought that was one of the weirdest things of which I’d ever heard.

Apparently there is a segment of the population known as “Furries” (Google it!) who like to get dressed up in animal suits that look like stuffed animals which have holes in all the “right” places so that they can have sex wearing the suit. Then they go to parties with other people dressed up in these suits and swap lovers. A stuffed bear might hook up with a stuffed monkey for example (you get the idea). It is bizarre.

I have heard that swinging is coming back into style. Wife swapping and all of that aren’t my thing, but I guess whatever floats your boat. . .

I’ve seen lots of weird sexual stuff before with people dressing up — usually in role-playing scenarios. A friend of mine loves to have his girlfriend dress up in hot nurse and school girl costumes. Another friend of mine’s wife likes him to dress up like a burglar, pretend he is robbing the house, startle her in bed and then have sex.

To me, sex is an individual thing and I think people should do whatever turns them on the most. Having sex as a stuffed animal, though, is just bizarre. Tyra Banks had these people on her show, and she thought it was totally bizarre too.

I couldn’t imagine coming home at night and seeing my girlfriend dressed up as a stuffed bear. I think I would laugh. I don’t think it would turn me on either.

So what do all of you think about people and their sexual fetishes? Also, are there any bizarre sexual fetishes out there that you’ve heard about but which you just think can’t possibly be real? I know there are a lot of them. I’d love to read your comments about this.
