S2 Episode 14 – Furry Romance: Is the Bark Worse than the Bite?

Dating, finding your soulmate, the person who loves you, and the heartbreak experienced on the way are all part of the human condition, but how is it different to the furry condition? Is it worth dating solely inside the fandom? What qualities make a good mate in or out of the fandom? How is dating different with furries? What do you do when someone you’re dating for years tears you apart for having a fursona? Roo and Tugs explore these questions, and also briefly detour into how to handle bullies, in this double length episode. Join the hosts, plus guests Space and Kadj, for one intense ride as we explore dating in the Furry Fandom. NOW LISTEN Show Notes Bonus: Our Halloween special is coming! Check it out!
