You do you, chu!

Aww, this makes me happy! As a fellow ace/autochorissexual person (who uh, kinda just found that out and is trying to make sense of it), I'm glad you were able to figure it out and to learn that we're not alone out there. <3

For sure, I don't want to be addicted or abuse any substance, even one as gentle as weed. I know that it's not a cure all for all my problems, which is why (as of this year) I started seeing a therapist, too. It feels good to have someone insightful to talk to!

It's actually Aegosexuality. Autochorisexual is the term used by psychologists. As a fellow ace person who smokes, I really understand this well.

Oh interesting, thanks for teaching me that term!

No problem, I'm happy you've found that out about yourself.

I've never heard that term before. But I kind of get it.

Thanks for sharing this! It's was a nice and interesting read! I tend to be unsure about things often so it's good to know it's okay to be unsure and okay to have things change over time. I wish you the best!

An awesome journey, and glad it's leading to a brighter place!

Autochorisexual!! THERE'S A WORD FOR THAT HOLY SHIT!! I'm sort of the same where I have my kinks (If you browse my favorites they're easy to figure out) and I'm attracted to men and women but like I never really liked sex or wanted to have sex. Plus my kinks are spicy but not completely NSFW. I'm glad I'm not alone, Chu! Thank you!

this is a great message
it is cool to hear you open up and hopes it helps both you and others
Thank you for all the great things you do

Blacklisting tags would be wonderful! Also I always thought of your art as being 13+ appropriate ngl, I haven't seen anything to odd >w>;

We all got our kinks one way or another, there ain't no kink shamin' here ;D it's all cool

HUH

Yah learn something new every day.

Hell, I'm 33, and I'm still finding out 'things I am into' here and there. It's usually a subset of what I already like in some cases, but EEEH, that's how do o:

Though it's all pretty much 'this is fun cause it ain't real/I find this attractive cause it doesn't involve rl me' kinda stuff. I'm Asexual and Homoromantic myself, so the most I end up enjoying is a cute liil' smooch or a cuddle or two. A bit a contact, then it's back into my personal space bubble.

Anyhow, I do hope you're able to like, I dunno, find whatever balance yah crave, yeh? It's a...process <..<;;

BUT YES, BLACKLISTING PLOX.

I've never gotten those dang 3rd party tools to work right ;3;

It's wonderful to hear you've been able to open up to your friends about the kinks you have and how they've accepted that!

I can't say I fully understand your true situation, but I feel I can relate on the matters of being kinky and ace.

I've got a good few kinks I enjoy myself, and I find them really fun! I like drawing those ideas, but at the end of the day I don't really have an attraction to anyone... so people get a bit confused/surprised to find out I'm not straight, nor am I gay.

Whatever kinks you may have, I'm sure you'll find a lot of good friends who share those same interests with you.

When I found people who liked the stuff I liked, I felt a lot less isolated and lonely, knowing there were people out there I could relate to.

Keep doing your best, Chu! <3

I can definitely relate to that concept, and glad to see you're enjoying being more you! Might I recommend e621 for browsing, they have a very thorough tag system and an effective blacklist function, and an SFW filter if you want to play things safer

"No one knows what the hell they're doing" feels like the most important lesson I learned as an adult.

Some day we'll have the technology to blacklist, desperately. So many tags I'd like to nuke.

it's not quite perfect, but firefox and chrome have the filter affinity plugin. let's you blacklist tags and hide art from users as you wish.

It doesn't, though. It only filters submission titles and short descriptions.

I would recommend e621 for browsing, good tags and blacklist functions, with a full SFW filter if you're feeling less adventurous

This certainly explains few things about how I feel.

For me, my whole life I’ve lived through the age of animated animal characters before even understanding what an “anthro” is. I’ve grown attached to those characters emotionally and would always developed a huge amount of respect for them. So when I found out about rule34, it made me feel like I was disrespecting the characters. I know to some it’s a form of flattery/admiration, but it’s a line I would not cross. Which is how I feel towqrds all of your characters, I have so much respect for them because of the sfw rating they were introduced in.

I’m also basically bisexual when it comes to furry art, but of course that’s only for nsfw art.

it's not quite perfect, but firefox and chrome have the filter affinity plugin. let's you blacklist tags and hide art from users as you wish.

I've used it for a few years, really helped clean up the things I find on FA.

one reason why weed had been a godsent during the last 2 years.
I used to worry about having my image tarnished. but I learned that, it's not so important as being able to be who you really are.

I am happy at you are going the way at you will like to do

we will support you no matter what ^_^

quite the journey there....

..keep on being awesome!

I'm not asexual, but I understand it well. I say do what you want, there will always be those that turn away, but also those who stay. Be yourself, and the best will stay true to you.

Well then, here's a little thing from another furry that hasn't been around as long as you did, but certainly has been a pervert for quite a while >W>;;

Kinks are irrational, by default. Especially to the person themself. They have no logic, they have no "why". They just are. Trying to rationalize why do you feel a certain way about a kink of yours tends to be a long and tiresome journey that, unfortunately, loops back to the beginning without a clear answer.

So hey, don't feel bad about having a low and/or atypical kink drive ♥

...If anything, it keeps you in check from going into some of the dark holes that most of us perverts have been through >W>;;;

I like the idea of blacklisting tags

I didn’t start drinking until a year ago, but those nights off have been very relaxing since. As for kinks, I don’t fully understand why I have them, but being able to let my imagination run wild with them have helped deal with reality.

... Wow... I don't do weed, but I got through the middle and am like "There's a term for that!?" As I have been just claiming, lately, to be grey asexual as I don't find an interest in sex or sexual stuff myself, but am interested in the sexual aspects of stuff, the things I find sexy are scenarios, not people...

I actually started finding more ace stuff and still was trying to find the right words for what I am... Guess autochorissexual may be it, then.

Thanks Chu!

<..< >..> o..o

You know what, I think that is one of the best expressions of how one has felt about oneself I've read and its beautiful. Keep being the amazing artist and person I have been a fan of since my introduction to your comics since the early 2010's ^^

I've enjoyed your art and your comic for quite a while! Happy to see whatever new cool stuff you decide to share.

Discovering that you enjoy drawing NSFW after such a long SFW run is pretty unusual. I hope it goes well for you, that you can indulge in both. I've been drawing NSFW TF for over a decade and i think there's a lot to like here.

Ah, so that is the word for it. Yeah me and another friend are asexual as well but the idea of some things are very "fun" to think on, and the biological response is still fairly normal there too. Nothing to be wierded out about there at all.

As for the people ready to judge you for a misstep. Yeah everyone is going to say their business regardless if it is wanted or not, Just like me commenting and you making the comic. The thing is, there are a lot of voices out there. If they are going to be negative and try and make you feel bad over something you enjoy, then don't listen to them and talk to someone else.

and yeah there is a LOT of stuff I think we all wish we could unsee on this site and the internet in general.

Good on ya, and your style is very awesome so florish and bloom how ever you are going to grow.

Hey, you do you, Chu. I'm a firm believer that people should just do what they want so long as they aren't hurting anyone. Some people don't get that last part right though :/ . That being said, HOLY SHIT! I didn't know that sexuality was a thing/existed until now. I've just being going with demisexual because I didn't really have anything that fit better! This is making so many things make sense now! Ahem.... But yeah. If you want to be kinky, be kinky. If you want to be sfw, be sfw. If you want to hide all your kinky stuff in a closet when you're in public while sweat drops down your face in anxiety of people ever finding out.....I'm sure it'll be fine...

I've read your comic slightly damned as a kid and you got me I to being a furry

Your awesome your stories are awesome and your art is awesome don't let anyone tell you otherwise no matter what. And I personally think you do alot of really cute stuff and even the different stuff I've seen was still great

Hard to put into words what I wanna say and it probably don't mean much from a random internet stranger but we love you chu that ain't changin

Ahhhh!!! This is such a wholesome story!!! And as a very very long time fan, I'll just say don't be ashamed of who you are, no matter what that means^^ you're the best and only you in the world^^

i love that quote at the end!
Best of travels on your journey!
im looking foreword to what ever you post!
(like more of that plush vore it was super cute!!)

You just keep on being you, in every way that you can define yourself.

I personally use the term aegosexual, I've heard that autochorisexual is a little out-dated, but if you prefer to use that, go for it :)

Important: It's okay to be weird. There is nothing wrong with it.
Some people disagree. Their opinion is oppressive and therefore should be disregarded.
You are not free unless you are free to be weird. Do not let yourself be oppressed by the narrow-minded.

I totally get where you're coming from and it's great to hear that you are feeling more free with yourself :D

Also, YES PLEASE GIVE US THE ABILITY TO BLACKLIST TAGS FA

Opening up about your fascinations, be they chaste or sexual, normal or strange, and getting positive responses back, is so life affirming. I felt so much better about creating NSFW content and indulging in weird kinks when I had a group of friends who were both supportive AND just as weird and creative as I was.

I’m really happy for you, Chu.

Ur always gonna stay cool on my book! 😎

i know of a way to use adblocker plus to hide specific users on the front page and on searches (it hides all submissions they post, and you do it separately for safe, suggestive, and explicit) from whichever user you do it to) but without another plugin on your browser i do not believe there is a way to block tags directly. i could do a quick search and test a few plugins if you want.

also congrats on learning something important about yourself. i hope it helps you be happier in the future.

You do you. You can't please everyone, so just please yourself.

I say make an alt account, surrounded by all the warnings you feel necessary and going from there, when your ready of course.

Heck I follow a very NSFW artist that has a very sfw comic that originally i didn't know were connected, Kyrio and CharCole.

I'm glad to see you being able to open up more on thoughts and feelings!

All the power to you! I know I've been doing lots of lewd stuffs... I've sat back and reflected upon all the adult themed drawings I do. I do draw up silly SFW stuff too, just not as much as fetish material. Like, I am heavily into vore. I am literally just furry vore trash some days. I sigh at my own thoughts and interests, but I accept it for it is who I am.
And yes, babies are expensive.

This is heartwarming to read. I hope to one day positively assure everyone that they are not “bad people” or “cringe” for having fantasies. (As long as we can control ourselves and not harm/harass others of course!)
