Wolves Dominate Furry Subculture

While women pine for werewolf Jacob Black in Twilight, those involved in the furry fetish community – where people get sexual pleasure from dressing up in animal costumes – also yearn for the species.

According to journalist Harmon Leon, people who sport wolf suits are “at the top of the chain” within the bizarre subculture.

He would know, since he once infiltrated a furry convention to get the scoop while decked out in a pig mask and bear ears.

Much like the wolves in Twilight, Leon says furry wolves “stick to their own kind.” They hardly socialize with other “animals” and those who are into, say, Care Bear furries, are relegated to the bottom of the pack.

The wolves seem to dominate the furry porn market too. Leon recalls seeing tons of strange, explicit illustrations of wolves “performing oral sex on unicorns” at the gathering.
