Is it legitimately hurting anyone for you to be looking at this art?
Is it interfering with your life in a major way?
If the answer to both of these is no, then I don't see a problem.
The majority of art on this site, and thus perhaps the majority of all furry artwork, is clean.
However, it is safe to say that the Mature and Adult submissions tend to get more Faves, Comments, and Views on this site. And that may be true for the rest of the fandom as well.
I don't think there's anything "wrong" with furry art, anymore than there's anything "wrong" with any other kind of art. In many ways, "furry" just opens up new opportunities for what kind of art to make and stories to tell. Some may be very human stories. And some may be a little fantastic. And yes, a good amount will be erotic in nature. It's a human thing.
Still, sometimes I think the furry fandom may have something dark on its spiritual side. I was rather horny at my first furry convention, and it wasn't because people were walking around in provocative clothing (indeed, one person there was a turn-off 'cause I couldn't make out their gender!). It was like someone or something took my sex drive and fed it some nitro. And it made things hard on me 'cause I felt like I didn't even have the courage to approach anyone. I think I prayed about it, and that helped things a little. But it wasn't long before it happened again, and it even followed me back from the con! There's a lot more going on behind the scenes, and you'd best be careful. There's a war going on, y'know. Jesus may have won the keys to hell, but the devil's still here. Wear your armor, stay connected to God, and get some angels and allies around you. Trust me. You're gonna need 'em.
Still. There is good in this fandom as well, and the convention felt a bit like coming home. Seek out the good you find, and promote it. The bad stuff you shouldn't ignore, but don't make too much drama out of it. Just be firm and stand up for what you believe. And hey, don't let anyone convince you you're gay or bisexual or something. Even if they do, remember: one aspect of yourself should not define the rest of who you are. You may be furry, but is that the truest thing about you? Or is it the new heart God gave to you when you asked?
The furry fandom can be a wonderful place. And it has its dark places too. Don't let it come before your faith and you should be fine. Walk close to God, open your heart to him, and keep your guard up. There's a dragon in this world, and he guards his territory jealously.
