My brother had a crush on the alien women in Star Trek the original back in the 1970s so I think you are ok...........................



I really like Data in star trek the next generation so I guess we are all deviants.............LOL

No, that was probably the intention of the seen. It was to convey the close feeling between the two. If I remember correctly, when they have (sex?) it bonds them together as mates for life.



They made the people to be humanoid and attractively shaped, so it really isn't that odd. If they wanted to make the alien species unattractive, they could have made them look like Zoidberg or the creature from the movie "The Thing".



It doesnt make you a furry at all or doesn't make you a sexual deviant.



B Alien, being a furry does not mean you have a fur fetish or like dressing up as animals.

No, I wouldn't say it makes you a furry, and I certainly wouldn't say it makes you a sexual deviant.



A furry is someone who is part of the furry fandom, the global community of fans who love and appreciate anthropomorphic cartoon animal characters and the creative, talented artists behind them. Those anthro animal characters are also called furries; Bugs Bunny and Donald Duck are classic examples of furries/furry characters. I don't know whether or not people (particularly those in the furry fandom) would consider the alien creatures in Avatar to be furries. They do have nonhuman bodies and have human-like behaviors, thoughts, speech, society, and anatomy such as hands, body shape, and somewhat similar faces. However, rather than being what would traditionally be considered an animal having human-like qualities (or put another way, an animal with human attributes applied to it), they are aliens from another planet who had those traits all along. Some may call them furries since they are nonhuman creatures with human-like qualities, and some may say they're not furries since they're unlike anything that exists on this planet.



Anyway, as far as your being aroused by their sex scenes (I haven't seen the movie to know what that entails), don't worry about it. However the methods that they have sex and share pleasure, they were creatures, presumably in love, sharing sexual pleasure together. That mental association of seeing other beings sharing the pleasures of sex with the stimulation of sex itself is perfectly normal and common.



"Blue Alien" is incorrect in his/her assumptions about the furry fandom. Being a furry is not a fetish by any means; it is an interest and hobby about the enjoyment of cartoon animal characters. And while some people do have an animal costume (we call it a fursuit), that's certainly not a requirement to be a furry. Current stats, based on furry convention attendance vs. the number of fursuiters in the convention's fursuit parade, show it's about 20% or 1/5 of furries have fursuits. The majority don't have them because they don't want one or can't afford one (they can be very expensive), or just haven't gotten one yet.

It was two beings being romantic and showing love what's wrong with that? I cry at movies and I know the story isn't real. We all feel emotions from what we see and read and hear. Stop worrying about nothing.

Guilty of that here too.
