'''Pornography''' (Ancient Greek, noun: '''πόρνηγράφεινία''' "pornēgrapheinia"; euphemisms: '''Adult/Mature work/media''', colloquialisms: '''Porno''' or '''Porn'''), also known as '''[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pron Pron/Pr0n]''' or '''[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=p0rn P0rn]''', is a term commonly used to describe [[sex]]ually explicit imagery or depiction in [[artwork]], [[photography]], [[film]], and [[writing]].

In its original Greek definition it meant to "write about [[W:prostitute|harlots]]" ('''πορνογράφος''', "pornographos" in the Greek [[author]] [[W:Athenaeus|Athenaeus]]'s ''[[W:Deipnosophists|Deipnosophists]]'' in the early third century [[W:Anno Domini|AD]]). The word was first used in the [[W:English language in England|British English language]] in [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=pornography&allowed_in_frame=0 1843].

== Scope ==

Various groups within worldwide societies have considered depictions of any sexual nature "immoral", labeling thus "pornographic", and have attempted to have them suppressed under "obscenity" and other laws (e.g. the 1973 [[W:U.S. Supreme Court|U.S. Supreme Court]]'s "[[W:Miller test|Miller test]]" and/or [[W:U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese|U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese]]'s 1986 "[[W:Meese Report|Meese Report]]") with varying degrees of success.

Such "pornographic" works have also often been subject to [[W:censorship|censorship]] and other legal restraints to publication, display or possession. Such grounds and even the definition of pornography have differed in various [[W:Pornography by region|historical, cultural, and national contexts]].<ref>[H. Mongomery Hyde (1964) A History of Pornography: 1–26.]</ref>

== Pornography and furry ==
[[File:Pr0nKitty.jpg|right|thumb|240px|Generic Adult (Porn) furry-themed Art by '''BMG''']]
Within the [[furry fandom]], most explicit artistic or written depictions of sexual acts are considered "furry pornography".{{who}}{{fact}} Images or descriptions of a single or groups of [[furry]]/[[anthropomorphic]] [[character]]s not explicitly engaging in sex acts but prominently displaying [[genitalia|sexual organ]]s (especially in a state of arousal) are also often considered porn.{{who}}{{fact}}

Pornography featuring furry characters may be called '''furry porn''', '''furry adult art''', and/or '''[[yiff]] art'''. Another common term is '''Furotica''', a [[W:portmanteau|portmanteau]] [[furspeech]] term of the words '''furry''' and [[W:erotica|erotica]].

A wide variety of free online furry art and writing archives offer the option to upload and display pornographic art and stories to the public, such as [[Fur Affinity]], [[Inkbunny]], [[SoFurry]], [[Weasyl]], and [[VCL]]. Most furry [[W:Pay-site|pay-sites]] are exclusively catered to such media.

Some [[image board]], such as [[U-18Chan]], [[Fchan]] and [[PlayMouse]], are specifically intended for the showcasing of "furry porn."

=== Propagation ===

Often, members of the fandom and [[critic]]s alike speculate that adult content makes up the majority of the fandom.{{cn}} The opposite point of view, voiced particularly in the [[2 Sense]] shows, claims that this is caused by the [[W:cognitive bias|cognitive bias]]: since pornography is not [[W:taboo|tabooed]] in the [[furry community]], its relative percentage may be even smaller than in the [[mundane]] world, but the fact that it gets more exposure makes it appear to be a larger chunk.{{fact}}

No scientifically credible estimates of the exact ratio of pornographic content to family friendly content in the furry community exist to date. A rough estimate from [[convention]]s which allow adult content in such activities as [[art show]]s and [[charity auction]]s and auction sites such as [[FurBid-SF]] suggest a proportion of 25-40%, with a higher proportion of mature [[:Category:Publications|publications]] and 2D artwork than sculpture and other constructed art.{{fact}}

[[Fur Affinity]], arguably the largest furry art site, published monthly statistics up until 2009 ([http://community.livejournal.com FA LiveJournal]) which consistently showed clean artwork outnumbered pornographic artwork by orders of magnitude.{{cn}}

=== Legality ===

There are no mainstream laws<ref>[http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/03/22/six_second_clip/ theregister.co.uk, "Man could face prison over six second 'extreme porn' clip"]</ref> which specifically reference pornography containing anthropomorphic characters at this time, be it characters of adult or [[Cub#Legal issues regarding cub media|minor (cub)]] age. Furry websites, [[forum]]s, groups and publications may enact them independently within the fandom.<ref>[http://help.furaffinity.net/article/AA-00203/8/Terms-of-Service-TOS.html Fur Affinity]'s Terms Of Service (TOS). Retrieved July 6, 2014.</ref>

== Sexuality and content ==
=== Orientation ===

Furry pornography is often [[stereotype]]d as [[homosexual]] in nature.{{fact}} This is not always the case, though the percentage of [[bisexual]] or homosexual furries appears to be higher than that in the general population.{{fact}} A detailed survey<ref>[http://www.tevildo.com/FAEStatistics.htm Tevildo's "fur.artwork.erotica" Statistics Page]</ref> by [[Tevildo]] of postings to the [[Furrynet|fur.artwork.erotica]] newsgroup between April and December 2001 revealed 45.6% of pictures to be "gay" themed and 48.9% to be "straight" ([[W:heterosexual|heterosexual]]) themed.

=== Species ===

Furry pornography commonly depicts [[species]] popular among the furry fandom, as many furry porn artists enjoy depicting their own personal [[fursona]]s in sexual activity,{{fact}} either with a fantasy mate or the fursona of a person to whom they are attracted in real life. Some pornographic artists draw generic characters as well, though these are usually species chosen for their sexual characteristics or stereotyped promiscuity, such as [[fox]]es, [[wolves]], and [[horse]]s.{{clarify}}{{fact}}

=== Subject ===

[[Fetish]] imagery catering to various [[:Category:Paraphilias|paraphilias]] seems to appear{{clarify}} with significant frequency in furry porn. [[BDSM]], [[Vorarephilia|vore]], [[pregfur|pregnancy fetish]], [[fursuit sex|costume play]], [[babyfur|infantilism]], [[inflatophilia|inflation]], [[W:rape fantasy|rape fantasy]], and other fetishes are often depicted in furry pornography, with most of the characters engaging in these fetishes are being invariably [[anthropomorphic]] animals.

[[Transformation]], in which humans turn into animals or furries transform into a different type of furry, is also popular in furry porn and regular furry art alike. Mental control or transformation permanence may be established through [[W:Orgasm|orgasm]].<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2580187/ The Island Guardians, Page 6] - [[Faithry]] (28 July 2009)</ref><ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6295509 Enduring Technologies: R.A.I.S. - 6 of 14] [NSFW] — [[Endium]] (11 August 2011)</ref><ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7025231/ Sketch by Classified-Crud: Competitive Vibes WITH STORY!] - [[Jaki-Kun]] (13 December 2011)</ref>

Most of these fetishes are not specific to the furry fandom, but merely furry expressions of them. While fetish porn is frequently attested to be unusually common in furry fandom — one of the complaints of the former [[critic]] [[Burned Furs]] was its perceived popularity{{Clarify}}{{fact}} — it is, again, impossible to obtain a precise percentage of fetish pornography compared to other forms of furry pornography.

== Mainstream views ==

Furry erotica is not thought well of by some outside the fandom itself. In [[The Geek Hierarchy]], Erotic Furries (sic) are ranked just below Furries as a whole, and just above "[[Star Trek]] [[fanfic]], written as furry erotica, with Kirk as an ocelot (or something), and the author being the star and his own personal furry as well."{{cn}}

A '''lombax''' is a [[feline|felinoid]] [[alien]] [[species]] from [[W:Insomniac Games|Insomniac Games]]' ''[[Ratchet & Clank]]'' [[video game]] series.

== History ==

Initially, the only Lombaxes in the series included [[Ratchet (Ratchet & Clank)|Ratchet]], [[Angela Cross]], and [[Alister Azimuth]]. According to a news broadcast in ''[[Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time|A Crack in Time]]'', Angela Cross is a Lombax who has been missing for three years. She does not have a tail, as it is revealed [[female]] Lombaxes lack one. Ratchet and Angela are the last known lombaxes in Ratchet's dimension after ''A Crack in Time'' when Azimuth dies.

A female Lombax named [[Rivet (Ratchet & Clank)|Rivet]] is a main character in the newest game in the franchise, ''[[Rift Apart]]''. Notably, Rivet has a tail, though it is considerably thicker and fluffier than other lombaxes previously seen. As Rivet is from an alternate universe, it is possible that female Lombaxes in that universe feature slightly different anatomy to those featured in earlier games.

== Derscription ==

Lombaxes, originally from the planet '''Fastoon''', appear similar to [[bipedal]] [[anthropomorphic]] [[cat]]s with stripes and a [[tail]] similar to that of a [[lion]]. Unlike most other organic species in the games' universe which have two fingers and a thumb on each hand, lombaxes possess four fingers and a thumb. The species has an instinctive affinity towards gadgetry and machines.
