There is a much more common third type of furry: “I want a fursuit soooo bad but I don’t have $10k+ lying around so in the meantime I guess I’ll go to furry conventions and {have sex,just hang out} without one”
I’m actually an asexual furry. So no, you don’t have to engage in any sex at all. I like the aesthetic and I’ve met a bunch of my friends through the fandom as a shared point of commonality.
Probably the biggest question you’ll get asked as a new furry is “what is your fursona?” If you say you don’t have one, everyone will make a pitch to try to sell you on theirs. (psst Maned wolves are cool.)
For a more in depth explanation, take a look at furscience. They’re an actual research institution studying the fandom.
As someone who lives where they are naturally occurring, I can confirm that they are cool. There’s also a specific tree (lobeira, Solanum lycocarpum) that’s essential to their diet and needs those wolves to reproduce.
I’m guessing people would be weirded out if they knew you weren’t actually furry-inclined, so it’s probably more down to being a good actor, if you’re just there to network. And then basic networking skills, after that.
Let me know how that goes.
Is there an Intro to Furry Guide and a FAQ?
Are there classes I can take to get Furry Certified?
Do I need to engage in sexual activity which doesn’t align with my current non-furry orientation?
Furries are typically nonsexual. It’s more often than not just roleplay for autistics.

There’s 2 types of furries:
I paid a ton of money for this fursuit, I don’t want to ruin it by having sex in it!
I paid a ton of money for this fursuit, of course I’m going to use it for sex!

So, they’re furry adjacent, optimally. ☝🏼
a fursuit is not a requirement for being a furry
It’s a one question quiz, actually:
Do you want to be a furry? Yes or no?

One thing that seemed to be contentious back in the day was whether us bronies were furries.

For the real Furry Certificate, you need long socks and to install and use specifically Arch Linux.
