Autoplushophilia is a sexual fetish that involves imagining oneself as plush or, according to researchers, as a representation of anthropomorphic animal characters in animated cartoons.
Autoplushophiliacs are referred to as furries.
Furries are, broadly speaking, a group of people or subculture that enjoys anthropomorphic art and costumes. Because people in this group are so invested in this interest, it may be intertwined with the their sexuality and sex lives.
Within their community, autoplushophiliacs or "furries," sometimes use the terms "yiff" for sex, "yiffy" for amourous and "yiffing" for mating.
