Alt.sex.plushies

alt.sex.plushies (aka ASP) is a newsgroup for plushies who have special personal feelings for plush stuffed animals. Incidental talk of fursuits is permitted. The group was founded on 9 August 1994.

The inclusion of the word "sex" in the title aside (even though the prevalent talk is about plush sexual techniques, and the ways to modify plushies for sexual use), ASP various discussions also involves such themes as personal plush collection, the care, maintenance and repair of plush, plushophiles meets (local or convention-based), and Fursuiting.

The group is now largely in disuse due to lack of participation, and the huge amounts of spam overloading it.
