Furries

A "furry" is an individual who dresses up in a mascot-style costume and then congregates with one or more other similarly-clad individuals to engage in sexual activity of varying degrees of depravity. The collective group that shares this proclivity is known as "furry culture."

The appeal of this behavior is similar to that of the old-style "masked balls:" By being fully covered, those of low social rank, sub-par looks, and unattractive body types are placed on an equal footing with everyone else, allowing each participant an equal chance of obtaining sexual gratification.

Carson O. Kimball, in his book "Window to his Love," dedicates and entire chapter to furry culture and the harmful spiritual side effects thereof.

(Unfortunately, Carson himself was often accused of being a furry during the early episodes of Mormon Talk, but thankfully most if not all callers have now dropped this baseless accusation.)
